It really isn’t Micah and Ren have formed like this weird codependency on each other.
I guess its one good thing to come out of this forum if these two can encourage each other constantly when they feel the need.
Kinda odd but they aren’t hurting anyone besides some light cringe chatter that should probably stay in a Discord DM but whatever. Good for them.
Predatory? nah I don’t think so. Whatever I think about this little weird relationship is I put it up with some people finishing a sentence with “uwu”.
But its harmless and if it makes them happy then good for them lol. I just wish they could just chat on the DMs instead of this little presentation but whatever its a public place.
That should not and does not matter. You don’t go around accusing people of being a predator or anything like that simply on the basis of how they interact on a forum. Then hide behind, “oh they are just too sensitive”
I think there are a couple of people who are upset that they can’t make friends as easily as others. Either it is because they are anti-social, or they are loners, but it seems more like jealousy than anything else, and it doesn’t look pretty.
There are a few people, a gnome mage for example, who puts people off with his constant negativity, no one wants to be friends with negativity or a constantly negative person who comes off as combative all the time for no good reason.
Hey. I have been napping, just woke up, and started reading this thread from where I left off. Alot has happened. It seemed to move from Sylvanas to Micah. I have not caught up… but since I was mentioned, I’ll just reply quick before I keep reading :
Micah, don’t let these people effect you too much. Just don’t. Stop it.
/smacks Micah with a rolled up newspaper
Let me give it to you straight :
You cant always comprehend hate. Or taste. Likewise, you don’t need to defend yourself for who you are. Sure, you have friendly cutesy banter with others - it seems like 90% of the Forums is either insults or cutesy-talk, so I don’t know why they focus on you.
Especially to say :
Is cutesie ever needed? It is as needed as the person using it wants it to be.
They are friends. I don’t think it is strange for friends to express concern and stick together. That happens quite often.
Micah, I will say Eve is the same with me - but I view it differently. In some threads, me and Eve agree and speak kindly. In others we are not so kind. I guess I don’t take it so personally.
I might be more upset if you, Micah, started talking trash to me, because I would wonder what happened. You are generally nice. It would make me consider if I have been acting wrong lol.
I don’t mean to change who you are, or to tell you to just “toughen up”. Be sensitive if that is who you are - but I hope you can sort of get a metaphorical Teflon jacket, and let it all slide off your back.
Yeah second half of this thread is just drama.
Though in the defense of highschool at least they get their validation in real life rather than a public contemporary performance of self validation on a game’s forum.
Though admittedly this might be healthy for them, they have voiced instability and insecurity in some posts so if this gets them through another day then maybe its not all bad.
I don’t think I’ve been harsh with you recently. I do remember that when I started getting active on the story forums that I purposely insulted some people, including yourself, which I apologize for. Being calmer is something I’ve been working on in the previous five years and I’ve made a lot of progress in that. What I’m doing here is tough love. If I really want to hurt people I can be a lot worse.
A little early to say, but Sylvanas seems to be flipped from an evil on dimensional character to a good one dimensional character? What I liked about old Sylvanas was the potential for a complex and tragic characters. At least she was interesting.
I do agree and they seem to be battle tag friends so… that option is definitely available.
And in certain conversations they completely shut down because “trust” is more important to them rather than the lore conversation.
I just talk about lore here because if I did that with any of the people I know and hang out with… well they would think I have completely lost my marbles.
I don’t think Micah was feeling the “love” part of your tough love, it seemed more like just harsh words.
I know that you want to provide constructive criticism to Micah , and I will take a stab at it on your behalf.
Micah, in the past you have been too generous in your defence of others which is not a fault of character, but because of this you have aligned yourself with people who were not nice, especially a few worgen posters, who you supported based solely on in game racial bias. Because of this, you have gained a reputation of being frivolous with your support. My suggestion for the future would be to pick your friends wisely, not everyone deserves your support.
