Black knighting on the forums

[MicahZerrshia]

This forum have been a war zone between the “white knight” and “doom sayers”. Everyday “new post” are drown by those threads. It is weird that the other forum actually have better discussion going on

That's on SE for not having any forum moderation outside the occasional thread that is too critical of them. When the inmates run the asylum and all that...

I think of it more as Brown Knighting

Because their opinions are fecal? This could be said of both sides, though

This gives the the old Starburst contradiction commercial vibes. Specifically the scotch Korean one.

Usually it's just in response to a report.

It was black knighting in EW.

It's justified now.

Besides, it's not like I'll have black maging to fall back on for long.

I like how actual critique and suggestions, and in the case of the BLM changes, desperate cries to NOT DO THIS... are portrayed as "black knighting". How ridiculous.

I don't think anyone here said anything about BLM. This forum has been a cesspit since long before the live letter.

When you have a probable gil seller with a dozen accounts constantly making threads trying to convince people to quit, things aren't exactly normal. If someone is being extremely over-the-top about hating the game, check their character and it's probably 1 DoW/DoM leveled to 100 and all DoH/DoL leveled to 100. Not sure why people still take it seriously but internet's gonna internet.

There's normal critique and suggestions and then there's melodramatic threads and trolling.

Nah, the people complaining about white knights don’t possess awareness.

I agree the forum is a cesspit. That's why, despite playing since HW, I only started actually posting here recently. I generally made a habit of ignoring the forums and staying away from posting, only really lurking on lore threads and whatnot. I'm only posting here to make my feelings about the story and job design known.

My statement is less about who wrote a post, and more about the general sentiments and thoughts about the game. I don't know why you attempted to deflect that with specifics about them, I couldn't care less about that.

My point still stands. Valid criticism is portrayed as "Doomposting" and now "Black Knighting". And all that is, is a means to invalidate the criticism by committing an ad hominem attack. Really what's happening is that it's now ok to talk badly about the game on places like the subreddits and Twitter, so the white knights are just defending the last bastion.

There is no line to cross between black knighting and realism anymore. The so called rage bait threads are filled with truths.
