We aren't talking about expressing opinions in a contructive manner, we are talking about being a troll and being destructive. Just becuse you are able to do something, doesn't give you the right to do it, or make you justified in doing it; they are mutually exclusive things. Fundamentally peoples rights extend as far as not imposing on someone elses rights. Just as you or I could verbaly abuse someone else all day everyday if we wanted too, the abusee has the right not to be abused, so if you are imposing your will in this situation...you are in the wrong.
I'mma hold dat.
Exactly. People need to understand that this community, as it grows, become less of a "boys club," and more of a legit eSport / spectator eSport. A sertain amount of sportsmanship and professionalism is needed.
i agree, also though have you played black ops 2 on the xbox or halo 3 back in the day? it happens online too in these communities, alot. i have received more death threats, racist, and homophobic messages on halo 3 back in the day than in the last 3 years playing COD and MK9/injustice combined. also to me IMO its not glorified in any community, in the FGC pop offs to an extent are glorified becomes its hype. but if it goes to far there is backlash and imo is not supported at all. same with COD and Halo 3, mid match it was common to hear people yelling and tea bagging IN tournament in halo 3, thats why MLG has that rule where if it gets excessive they give you one warning followed by a DQ, at MLG Columbus 09 MID match i was called a beaner [ban incoming] for out Br'ing some honkey chump and the REF gave him a warning. we eliminated his team round 5 of the losers bracket in the open bracket play and he didn't even shake my hand, i am Dominican, the rest of my team were white boys. so far in the FGC it has never gone there where i have been at least. have you heard MLG commentary for COD? halo 3? they also "glorify" pop offs in the commentary, they would be like "ohhhh some words and tea bagging after that kill from yada yada" and the crowd laughs. my point is it happens everywhere, for the most part in a lot of gaming communities, its unfair to just point a finger at the FGC and differentiate between gamers. if you want footage i can find some FPS pop offs, kids breaking their controllers after losing, fights and a lot of salt.
With how some individuals within the FGC act, I'm starting to question that particular love.
That really isn't the same thing. What dude is talking about in the vid would be more like if the Golf community was split into smaller factions of players who only play on certain courses.
We all have assholes too, but that doesn't mean we should shove them in people's faces any chance we get. Too many people treat their opinions like something they can just vomit out whenever they want. These people suffer from lack of restraint or self-control, or maybe they just don't care about others. If I'm watching a movie I don't care for, I don't tell everyone in the theater "God DAMN this movie is shit!!". I could if I wanted to, and I have every right to, but I wouldn't because it would ruin others' experience. If I did share my opinion, it would be with those who care to hear it.
Off topic: I'm being general and saying it like it is. The other great thing about an opinion? You don't have to agree with it or even humor it with a response. The only time it would get to me is if I'm friends with the party in question. And I was simply saying that people HAVE the right to state their opinions, regardless of how dickish they may be. I wasn't condoning physical violence or anything like that.
Case in point REO's recent thread in the Lobo forum....
yes, and plus thats ONE guy who did that. hold on let me educate you on other communities i'll brb.
Wait, what? You can shit on other's opinions all you want for whatever reason, but it doesn't justify you shoving it in their face. It's like you say you love PS, and I'm like no FUCK YOU, YOU'RE STUPID XBOX IS BETTER. That's what this is about, people will always not like the same stuff as you, but you don't have to be a dick about it and shove it into other's faces.
