Maybe they could do some Edgelord servers.
The whole maturity debate is kinda weird to me. Like, I remember being told that swear words were āadult languageā but, now that Iām adult, swearing like a sailor is āchildishā or āimmatureā. Which is it?! It canāt be both!
Yeah real better when get charged legally with attempted manslaughter in alot of areas because spitting on people irl will do that.
I agree with you, actually, more now that you gave these examples.
Maybe I could refine my critique if I were to separate your OP samples into categories.
I canāt quite put my finger on what difference I feel in them, so I will return to this after I sleep ā¦ But yeah, the question is really where we put the limit on what possible IRL behaviors can be imitated within the gameā¦ That requires asking what purposes this microcosm is for, again ā what its audience range is to be, and what itās trying to achieve on the spectrum of escapism. I could give some opinions, but Iām not the one in charge
The irony of wanting the game to be more mature and adult, but also wanting to be able to /spit on people to be petty.
Just say you lack self control and miss being able to harass other players.
No you donāt. No one cared about those paintings until they were changed.
Thereās nothing mature about being juvenile.
then play games with those themes
you mean the other person gets charged when they punches you in the face repeatedly for spitting on them?
this is the gist of this entire thread tbh.
To the op, I donāt want to see half naked peeps running aroundā¦
Found Elon Muskās alt.
Elonās got nothing on me. He literally hasnāt thought about the issues deeply enough.
I conducted 5 years of research from academic sources after a frustration with 15 years of entertainment decline and concluded Postmodernism is the most powerful unnatural calamity, evolutionary parasite, and death cult in Earthās history. Iām serious. This is an objective fact. Weāre the first species to self-reflect and feel sorry for ourselves with technology that we know of, and we are now only beginning to see the results it will be too late to change before we know it. The nuclear equation was our undoing the moment it was published, because our moral education sucks and never changed to accommodate for reality or technology. We live in a Dystopia because people fear their own mind. It started in ancient history with mystifying philosophies, was resurrected and zombified 250 years ago, and is now fully entrenched after 60 years of institutional indoctrination. And now it spreads exponentially because of media technology.
I know this for a fact because I am in academia and the source of the problem is there. Itās an anti-human NPC factory.
The new world religion is the worship of tyranny and fear of individuality and competition due to laziness and envy.
OP is being ridiculous, but yes, some of what Blizzard did is ridiculous too (the estrogen joke wasnāt offensive or worth removing)
here its just assault. a misdemeanor. is not treated as a felony.
What I was reffering to is there are cases of infected people spitting on others and resulting in attempted manslaughter because spitter had a certain illness and has happened irl.
Insane hyperbole.
I miss not being tar and feathered for having an opinion or enacting minute justice in the form of emoting. It was a form of taking power back into your own hands.
Emoting someone (not in excess) is not harassment. Itās an acceptable form of communication in the game. Blizzard closed in those walls by actively limiting how weāre able to communicate.
If racism, sexism and classism arenāt being inherently fomented by their inclusion then why were they removed? There were better solutions to addressing the isolated incidents of people abusing the emote system.
Maybe where you are but there are places in the US it is considered attempted manslaughter.
Some states is a felony and others is misdemeanor.
Itās the black sheep of society. Feelings are more important than anything else these days, and everyone is exceptional and special and one of a kind.
Spitting on someone IRL can be seen as an act of biological harm since our saliva carries pathogens.
That isnāt the case ingame, however. Remove our muzzles, Blizzard.
I donāt know how dirty pictures are worse than genocide, but that is something we do in game all the time.
