That's just the internet... Get over it
ranting because honestly this is just so ridiculous. every time i visit here looking for some cool discussions on games i'm bombarded with complete bullshit of people fighting and getting all worked up over petty things. so what someone insults you through a computer? do you realize how fucking pathetic that is to try and hurt someone behind a screen??? yet people still get hurt and leave a gaming community because of it. if you're going to post something, ANYTHING, controversial on the internet be prepared to be attacked maybe in a negative way, maybe in a positive. in fact if you're on the internet PERIOD be prepared for insults because unfortunately, not everyone is a nice peaceful person that will respect ur opinion. As lovely as it would be for people to be kind and respectful and mature, The reality is the world is full of rude, sad people and if ur going to get hurt every time they address you, u may as well not own any technology because it's never going to stop. Showing that they bother you just fuels them further. They want YOUR attention.

Some people are just not emotionally equipped to handle it, but still want to give their opinion. It's sad that we have to expect people to prepare for insults for speaking their mind. Why must we blame the people who get upset by this and tell them to "get over it", instead of blaming the people who get nasty in arguments and tell them to stop?
Never mind. Agree with AllThatRemains and Green613 100% though.
Just because it's the "internet" does NOT give people the right to be an asshole to another person, if you are mean to someone on the internet and use the "internet" as an excuse you're making a complete fool of yourself.
I wish I could do pictures, this thread would be full of Morgan Freeman.
To me, being on the internet doesn't justify insults and death wishes. It says a lot when people act with no consideration as long as there are no consequences for their actions.
What do you mean "do pictures"? :P to post a picture, you do just that, post a picture
Its hard on my platform...
Ill be GIF-less forever! Cries in corner
Im a GIF-less peasant...
Hey you said it, not me B]
:P
Yup
Seriously, not everyone is the same. Some people can't handle it and it being the "internet" doesn't justify what you are saying.
people insult each other online because they no power in real life. there's also no consequences so they can say and do whatever.
THIS
Boom. Nailed it.
Because they won't stop? The world can be a cruel place and a lot of people are assholes. Best to just toughen up and get over it.
JonTron FTW!!!
um
k
That's because about 30% of the forums (that are pretty vocal) are either:
Assholes, Immature kids, 10-year old Kenny fanboys, moaners, and ranters.
It's very much a cycle, where a community falls before the people who live in it will realize their shit and help rebuild it again.
I would like to thumbs down this thread.
Probably you don't know how to feels for people to want you to die, or insult you. It being the "internet" gives NO right for a person to do so, being simultaneously insulted and death threat-ed hurts a person's feelings too you know.
Why should we be nice to everyone? Its pretty pathetic, if you cant take shit from others without being hurt.
Its easy to be prick to others when you are anonymous.
Why should we be nice? Why shouldn't we?
You're pretty
We should be civil because you don't know what problems people are dealing with in their personal lives, do you really want to be the reason someone kills themselves? If we all treated each other like we did in real life, when we talk to people on the internet, we wouldn't have so many problems. Being Annon, makes it so much easier to be mean.
I love everyone according to my therapist, and depending on which medication i was prescribed today.
Dont answer question with question.
Morgan Freeman is weird, he had sex with his grand daughter.
you know what yea you are right we shouldn't be nice to assholes who think it is alright to tell someone to kill themselves over their opinion on a game
But does that give someone the excuse to? No it doesn't.
Dying is easy,
Living is hard.
I didnt feel like finnish goverment forcing me to go to army was right, so i threatened i would kill myself rather than do as they say and now im free. Im a honest/indifferent person and i will surely share my opinion without sugar coating it, no matter if its irl or internet.
I'm not going to type anything long here, I really agree with @AllThatRemains @Green613 and @Megami_Kizukania tho
There are many kids in internet. Kids are (generally) stupid and this justifies their stupid behaviour.
Kinky.
Nah it really doesn't, if they're going to go to a forum of a company that makes rated M games, I don't think being an asshole because you're a "kid" is justified.
I need to refill my prescription but my pharmacist. won't call me back.
How is that relevant to this conversation?
Very relevant , its how i am nice to people, without it...
I can be quite the bitter pill.
