Oh look death threats these are the people you guys defend?

Xxxusernametakenxxx

So I get it personal attacks, harrassment and bullying are allowed on this site.  It's makes sense why SOME (CLEARLY PEOPLE MISSED THIS WORD SO I PUT IN CAPS FOR YOU) on here are so fast to defend those I called out on Reddit the ones making death threats over a video game. 

Clearly I'm on the right side you guys enjoy supporting the death threats , personal attacks, bullying and harrassment of those who disagree with you and the Developers who make video games.

No one is supporting how far some stupid people take things but just because someone says something ridiculous and extreme doesn't mean everyone else changes their opinion. You also need to consider that this is just keyboard talk and much of what people say shouldn't be taken literally; sometimes it's just a way to express sentiment.

But, to be honest, you're not entirely innocent of this behaviour yourself. You've generalised whole groups of people as "idiots" and things like that and attempted to goad others by insinuating they are "crying". That's certainly a personal attack.

Don't be a hypocrite.

Surperb use of hyperbole, both in the title and body of your post. Personal attacks, harassment and bullying are not permitted on this site. Report any posts you feel do so and the mods here will deal with it.

We've had a lot of extreme posters here, but I don't think I've ever seen someone openly support death threats against any game developer.

If someone had, I would have personally attacked...er, um, reported them I mean.

Don't worry mate, 12 years olds had rarely killed anyone.

Some on Reddit yes I did but this is somewhat a pretty generally accepted not just with video game forums with reddit overall.  And these death threats and personal attacks actually prove again my comments about some of them on Reddit were accurate.  So no I'm not a hypocrite.

Now I did say some on here.  When a group of posters band together to harraass, bully and attack another poster it's not too far of a stretch to conclude they condone the personal attacks, harassment, bullying and death threats against the Developers.

 I think you are well aware (but are using this to advance your own agenda) that the people making threats do not make the issue they supported wrong. You're merely trying to use this bad behaviour to paint the whole community or cause they support wrong. 

I didn't see any bullying but you did post very nastily on the threads and the posters here rightfully responded. What they should have done was ignored you completely but that is hard to do with so many individuals. The best way to treat a person who deliberately tries to insult and write in an obnoxious manner that skirts the rules is to completely leave their post unanswered as this one should have. 

I felt though that your justification to use the threats made by some individuals as an example of the behaviour of the whole community who are merely raising an issue an attempt by you to throw the discourse into another direction should however not go unanswered.

You need to take it down a notch, or four. I haven't seen anyone supporting this behavior. Some people on this site disagree with you about Star Wars Battlefront 2. That's all. It's not all that serious. Is this your first week on the internet?

Allowing the actions of a few to determine your view of the whole is ridiculous.

You should read the first paragraph again.  I didn't say this entire community I said "some".  I understand some of you will defend them no matter what and that's fine.

No, that is a really big stretch actually, especially when the validity of your first claim is questionable.

He knows this.   It's just easier to try and create new drama than admit his utter failure in the face of a community successfully forcing EA to dramatically scale back their plans.

But yeah it should be self evident that anyone who threatens violence over a video game has something wrong with them and needs help.

cheyane

So what was the point of this thread if you knew that it does not reflect the whole ?

Are you trying to use guilty by association as a base for your aspersion against the community here ?

Who's defending them?

Nope everything I said is still 100% true.  Loot boxes still there, they will still sell millions, and there will be no gaming crash.  That's what I said . 

So reducing the price of an in-game item is now considered "dramatically scale back their plans".  

cheyane

Please stop wtf is posts because they give him points and some form of validation that this type of posting is getting the reaction he wants. This is rewarding these types of posters and I hate the point system in this site to be used in this manner.

No actually you said the protest was useless and just a bunch of "idiots".  Well those "idiots" created some positive change... yes 75% reduction is dramatic.

Do people really pay attention to the points system? They shouldn't, it's meaningless.

I was bringing to attention the behavior and actions that are unacceptable.  Do you not think its news worthy that Developers are receiving death threats?  Is there a screening process I am supposed to follow prior to posting?  Is there a list of these 10,000+post posters I'm supposed to send a rough draft to before I post?  If you don't like the thread take your first post advice and don't reply.

Didn't read a single response from a single person that bullied anyone on that post myself.  You made comments that were demeaning in the original post which people responded to.  I mean you basically called forum posters idiots from the get go.  You claimed that the forums were toxic but you yourself made more toxic post than almost anyone else on that thread.  And here you are again trying to make a toxic thread from the get go.  

Not a single person in the other thread in no way or form showed support for the mentally unstable  people that make threats over a video game either. 

I hope the mods close this thread as you are just being toxic again yourself.

By the way if you are going to say people did something in a thread you should link that thread to.  Here it is for others to read.

Yes I specifically said it was uesless in regards to loot boxes, sales, and creating a gaming crash.  2 out of 3 are 100% accurate the third will have to wait to decide.  

And yes the ones making personal attacks , harrassment and death threats on Reddit are idiots.  Do you not agree with that? 

cheyane

You were absolutely not bringing attention to the bad behaviour. What you did was associate the people making those threats to the members of this community who did not support your view.
 
Just because you use the word 'some' does not change the fact that you accused members of this community as people who support death threats against developers.

No. In your OP you claimed this site supported bullying and harassment. You linked two articles and I couldn't find a mention of MMORPG.com in either.

Yes, it should have been received in your welcome package.  Please send all drafts to [email protected]

If you do not get a response please assume the content was deemed un-post worthy and do not post it.  This should greatly help you going forward!

cheyane

Please explain how exactly I am bullying you by saying that giving you points on this forum encourages you. How's that even remotely bullying? /smh

I am offended that you have accused people on this site as supporting violence against developers. I want you to name the 'some' you referred to in your original post.
