MSNBC harassment online games report

… It looks more like an analogy then humor but…Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo… kay.

Radicals exist for making money, we got that part. :ok_hand:

I just don’t see the humor in it here. :palm_up_hand: Or much of it. Kind of a one note sort of humor as it is. But i digress.

Now or ever? :face_with_monocle:

Now. And this was taken in 2023.

Alright good. I was about to say that 16 year old me disagrees lol.

No radicals exist because of various reasons, one of which is that they feel they are disenfranchised by their government or society. They also have supporters who sympathize with them.

Of course in the US “disenfranchised” is relative. Both groups are doing moderately well by world standards. As a result they have enough money to attract sponsors who will pay people to produce content they want to hear.

Remember, as the saying goes, people who watch TV are the product, not the customer.

…Okay.

I’m still waiting on where the humor comes in? Or are you being serious here now?

I can be cynical at times and even i’m failing to see the humor in this. I mean it just seems more or like observations to me. I won’t deny it’s false because it is true.

Well toxic people on forums complaining about toxicity are the ones bringing up FF14 (that means they play it), so it kinda makes sense.

The last thing I wrote was serious. It’s my opinion.

Ahh. Alright.

Well , the post got banned before I could read it. Ill have been playing 19 years soon and I have had literally everything done to me since vanilla. Wow is super tame now as everybody is offended by everything possible these days, so I would full on Ignore MSNBC.
Wow isn’t toxic compared to 19 years ago and we just had thicker skin.

There is literally nothing in that social contract that hasn’t been in the EULA/ToU since November 2004.

Its the adl…

Its the organization trolled into labeling the ok sign and drinking milk as white supremacist symbols.

They are as close to a respected organisation as the onion is to journalism.

2004: “Oh here’s the rules you have to agree with before logging in”
2024: “Oh here’s the rules you have to agree with before logging in, but it’s a little shorter to read”.

…What did the social contract do differently exactly? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I always have to question these types of surveys since a lot of the data points require things to occur in games that normally just wouldn’t happen between online strangers. For example, how exactly does one know what age someone is online without the other person specifically letting others know? How exactly does one know one’s race without specifically lettings others know? How exactly does one know one’s sex without specifically letting others know? It’s just odd lol.

What’s more, these survey’s never give their methodology for collecting their data. A survey can vary wildly based solely on the questions being asked. What exactly is classified as ‘harassment’ here? Do the people being asked have a flawed view on what harassment actually is? Do they believe negative interactions online should be classified as harassment?

Another issue is the age range they are choosing for this survey. It’s not exactly a big secret that younger generations view many types of negative interactions online as a form of harassment rather than just that, a negative interaction. I feel like it would be a safe bet if the exact same survey was given to other various age ranges that the data would swing WILDLY lol.

No League? Dogwater study.

Why do you care? Just type “OK” instead of using a symbol?

Should be 90%

This game made the list lmao. You’re taking the wrong conclusion. That’s all that matters.

that same question goes right back to you, why do you care if somebody uses a hand gesture to say okay?

So I slept on it and still can’t comprehend it neither…
