BruceVC Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Such low level trolling, death or illness threads are just too easy - sympathy or hatred from Internet proles is meaningless, really.

Amentep Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I mean TB is really only a "minor " Internet celebrity who has his supporters but clearly is also seen as a supporter of GG which means he would be reviled. I would also be saying " I am glad he is dying ' if I was a committed anti-GG. Its just words on the Internet...it means nothing especially in this context What context makes it okay to want someone dead whose biggest crime is that people "revile" him on the internet? I mean common, its the internet. Pretty much anyone of note announces they're going to die there's some **** waiting to post anonymously about how glad they are they're dying. But in this case you seem to be saying you're perfectly okay with people wishing death and experiencing glee over same just because they annoyed some electrons in a way that annoyed you. Seems a bit...out of proportion, maybe? 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet?

This is how it goes Still, to find pleasure in someones inevitable death is a new low, even for a SJW. They prove time and again how disconnected from reality they are. Come now, lets try to have an honest discussion. You guys don't care about what SJ stands for on the Internet , you label it all as SJW as an insult And I'm fine with that because I understand how for years white, male gamers have been the target of a level of criticism that in some cases really was unfair. And how have you guys dealt with it, everyone is a SJW ...its just easier that way instead of having to rationalize the criticism. But where I'm going with this is those guys arent SJW or even SJ interested..they anti-GG which has become its own label I'm someone who cares about SJ issues but in RL not on the Internet "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Nonek Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) GhoulishVisage, on 16 Oct 2015 - 10:02 AM, said: I don't understand people like this. Do they think that a thin and easily cracked veneer of "niceness" and having the "correct views" makes up for their sociopathy and lack of empathy? The cherry on top: What is it called when you take some horrible part of your personality and project it onto others so you don't feel so ****ty about yourself? Oh yeah, it's called being a ****ing ***hole. A near sociopathic lack of empathy and hypocrisy, not unexpected or a first from these "people." What astounds me is that they still stick to the false narrative of victimhood and that Mr Bain has tried to harass them in any way, shape or form. Truly pathetic. Edited October 16, 2015 by Nonek 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If white people are so evil he should give all his money away because as a white person he doesn't deserve it. He probably stole it from some minority anyways. It's the same rich kids that read some Foucault and somehow think that they have it all figured out about power structures and deconstructing them, when in reality they are using his literature as tool for their misplaced racism and projected self-hatred. Right now, the academia enables such stupid ideas to go uncontested without debate in this climate of post-modernism where nothing means anything except for power. When i become God Emperor of mankind, I will put them into the wilderness where they would have to learn to survive by themselves and the only literature provided will be Augustine, Aquinas, Plato, and Gramsci for good measure to compare to, so they can finally understand their folly and come out as men, rulers of themselves and their destiny and not as whining maggots. ****ing Frankfurt School and all their disciples. Obfuscators in the search of truth, rapers of beauty, celebrators of banality, begetters of hedonism and tailors of the destruction of civilization. Or maybe they just need unconditional love, that might help in any case. Welp, typing as I am almost falling asleep by the computer.

But I'm not saying "I'm glad he is dying ", I am saying certain anti-GG people are saying that and I'm not prepared to condemn them because that would mean I believe this type of exchange has relevance Look I can see what you trying to make me see, it does seem like I'm being difficult over what should be a display of reasonable criticism from me. But I really don't get involved at all in GG...so I have no idea of the real background around why they said it ? I don't know TB at all....I know who he is. Of course I personally feel bad for his diagnosis but I am not going to start involving myself or my personal time in this circus again. The majority of people on both sides have no real interest in proper SJ causes and just pay lip service so I spend time elsewhere "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Yes she ultimately probably gained from it and is now more famous but how her personal life became the wet dream of many gamers needs to be criticised and lets just show her the respect she deserves And yes human beings generally don't feel real mourning and sorrow unless they personally know the victims...look at how you guys have embraced the Syrians despite there hardships.

It's either extraordinary ignorance and stupidity or those people are genuinely and truly scum of the earth. So ignorant yes, insensitive yes but not as bad as scum of the earth. These guys felt that TB had been involved in shaming and humiliating women, for some people this is a serious thing to do. So for them they felt that TB was a bad person and they genuinely believe he encouraged hate. Were they right....highly unlikely. Did they believe this...probably. So if you really dislike someone why would you be concerned if they suddenly told you they had a terminal disease?
