Me, i'm old and hard of...hearing...have poor vision...yes that's it. If the rest of you don't post in this style then I am offended and you're all harassing me!

 

No I will not wear my glasses, you should adapt to me, because i'm worth it. I use that shampoo...on my bald head.

Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.

I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin.

 

Tea for the teapot!

Heh, the cyber touch stuff reminded me of the "virtual rape" video that was making the rounds after GTA Online went out.

Who exactly are you large font bold print yelling at?

 

The post is a placeholder that i can copy/paste in the future. I am that lazy. Stream-lining the content for maximum post/thread-ratio.

 

Carry on.

I'm subjected to cyber idiocy on a daily basis.  I've also been the victim of online trolling more times than I can count.  I ask for, nay DEMAND, justice.  Also, send money to my Patreon to help with my terribly wounded psyche.

So is there a difference between cyber bullying and cyber touching or cyber violence?

Doesn't seem to be, well at least in the way it is used. Not sure what cyber violence would be, exactly.

"Dungeons & Dragons, the medieval satanic..."

 

My hot tub must have been a time machine, what year is this?

 

1982.  I hear in December (the 28th) there's going to be a movie adaption on CBS of that book "Mazes and Monsters" that Rona Jaffe wrote last year that was a fictional version of the disappearance of James Egbert at Michigan State in '79.  No doubt we should be prepared for another round of misunderstanding - if this keeps up I no doubt expect Jack Chick to put D&D in a Chick Track further cementing this idea that D&D players think magic is real and worship pagan gods...

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

Crazy, right?  The whole hoopla over D&D getting people into satanic rituals and making them kill themselves, that was back in the 80s, wasn't it?

 

Edit:  Never mind, Amentep answered that question while I was typing this.

For once, i am quite happy that the UN has no power. This is so surreal.

I would think cyber bullying and cyber violence would be one and the same.  I think cyber violence is just a ludicrous and sensationalized term for cyber bullying, which I deem to be an accurate term (Surprise, people can be ***holes over the internet just as easily as they can be ***holes in real life.  In fact, it's easier to be an ***hole over the internet because of anonymity so that cowards in real life can be tough guys and gals on the net [it is my theory that the majority of bullies and trolls on the net are cowards in real life]).  I have no clue what kind of nonsense cyber touching is supposed to be.  Is that like pinging somebody's computer?

While he would come up with great stories, it would take him to long to describe various actions given how slowly he speaks.

When in doubt, blame the elves.

 

I have always hated the word "censorship", I prefer seeing it as just removing content that isn't suitable or is considered offensive

(cited in the UN thing).

This is unreal. Pokemon is making killer toddlers? This what Sarkeesian and Quinn went to UN with?

 

It starts to be about ****ing time gaming journalism to wake the **** up and take their collective heads out of their collective asses and call out these two for what they are.

If  Anita and co were male like Jack Thompson nobody would take them seriously. Male privledge? No. Female privledge is a real thing.

 

\Then again, this is a world where men can't be raped or abused or be victims. Only women can.

So the new moral panic will have welloff and perpetually offended hipsters on the offensive instead of well off and perpetually offended christians?
