MKXL Hatemail Thread Part Deux!

Resolution through knowledge and resolve.
Could be a whole host of reasons. No one _likes_ to loose, of course, but some people really take it to the next level.

I've mentioned this in other threads, but I've personally noticed internet anger in general has really increased in the last half decade. Can't say exactly why, but a few associates of mine had an interesting theory that it's due to the rise in eSports.

Everyone wants to be the next big eSports star, and can't accept when they're really no where near that level. While I doubt that's the whole reason and everyone's reasons, I can certainly see it playing a role.
It goes with the whole wussification of the world theory.

I'll have pity for that, but why is anyone playing games when their babies are crying?
Sorry to ask you, but if by the babies crying, you mean the men crying themselves?

I would say that they're just facing the harsh reality of being mopped before they become real men. It's like the little kids who knew Santa Claus grew up and now they know that Santa Claus doesn't exist at all. ;)

A lot of it is just a step in growing up. We've all been there, where our eyes are opened and our self-awareness becomes more reality than fantasy. Its not fun, but its funny to watch from the other side. Entitlement makes us weaker. Reality makes us stronger once we accept it.

^This is such truth. With the Steam board, one thing I've always regretted is that since enough of the people there are overseas, I'll never get to see some of the more... interesting... members of that board when they have the epiphany.

It would truly be something to see.
