So is enforcement of social contract a thing?

You’ve provided none that are actual per definition but if that makes you feel good and lets you sleep well at night ok.

Example 1: You acting childish, then calling someone else childish.
Example 2: You telling people not to bring politics into the discussion, then proceed to use political ideology. Then rationalize it with your opinion of it not being political, you just “Being a good person” which was false virtue signaling. Others would see removing someone’s freedom of expression as being an evil narcissistic person who needs to be in control of others, not a “Good person” just for your info.


Fact is Blizzard already has a tool to combat these issues, you don’t need to advocate for them to do more. They gave a solution to the problem that allows people both, freedom of expression and the ability to block people if you don’t like their humor or the way they speak to you. If you aren’t using the tool, that is your own fault. Don’t advocate for more Blizzard action when you aren’t even using the tools they gave you.

The last thing we need is more moderation and restrictions on communication. Take Final Fantasy for example where people demanded just that. Final Fantasy is now to the point where you can’t even give people advice on how to do better damage with their class, explain boss mechanics, or try to be helpful in general because any criticism and or quest spoiling (aka helping guide someone through a quest that it looks like they are struggling with, cant find the mob, cant find the quest item, or just stuck on) is seen as harmful to the player and an offense that results in account suspension. It promotes people just not communicating at all in an MMO in fear of being suspended.

So yes when people advocate for more Communication policing I think about Final Fantasy, I will always speak out against it.

Example 1: I have made no childish acts, I have not had any rants or or tantrum like you. I have stated that not everyone finds racist jokes funny or fat shaming amusing, etc. These are facts and I stand by the facts and live by the facts every single day.

Example 2: It is true. If you are a good person, you are a good person. Political leanings don’t make you a good or bad person. You insisted and supported I brought in some left leaning policy, and I stated I didn’t and that I knew people from both sides that didn’t find any of it funny nor warranted which therefore debunked your whole “leftist” remarks.

If you like making body shaming jokes or find racial slurs funny or whatever else you enjoy - knock yourself out but I won’t participate and I won’t listen to it. I don’t have too ever and those are my rights and freedoms.

Neither one of these are hypocritical - learn the use of the word correctly.

Nor do I, and you don’t have to, Block feature exists. I also don’t let it ruin my day when it happens and take to the forums advocating for removing freedom of expression.

Both examples I gave depicted you as a hypocrite. Here’s a term I’m sure you are familiar with to describe what you keep trying to do when moving the goal post to make it seem as though you weren’t being hypocritical, “Man-splaining”.

Man-splaintion 1: You were being childish, talking in circles all you want won’t change that. In fact you are still being childish now.

Man-splaintion 2: Shifting the goal post from “I didn’t use politics” to “It’s not politiccs it’s being a good person”. Nothing about removing someone’s freedom of expression is good, you can call it being a good person all you want to make yourself feel better. You have the choice to block them, you have the choice of letting their words control your day, but instead you are choosing the most sinical and selfish route and are just completely removing their choice and keeping hold of your own. Sure sounds like a “Good” person to me.

Still being childish, calling others childish. Hypocrite. In fact I’ve seen in 3 other threads in the past 10 minutes you making fun of others calling them childish and asking if they need a bottle? lol? You sure have some strong feelings about body shaming, racism, and bullying in general yet partake in it yourself. Hypocrite.

You use every buzzword or social justice topic on the left leaning policy’s bingo chart and call it “being a good person”. So call it whatever you want, your “Being a good person” policy, since you apparently are triggered by the term left leaning, is still political in nature. Your whole social justice stance is POLITICAL. Social justice period, is political. You are advocating for policy, that is POLITICAL. Do you think the term Politics is specific to only a country’s government? It’s governance period whether it’s blizzard governing their community or the Federal government in the United States.

Politics - the activities associated with the governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power.

You want to strip someone of their freedom, because you don’t like their humor or what they have to say. They don’t have your ideology so get rid of them, that’s you trying to exact power over them, “conform or be removed” mentality.

No such word as these, but no surprise here you can’t even get the use of other words correctly.

If you are being childish, I just call it like I see it. Don’t like it, block me.

Never seen this bingo card you are referring to but ok…if that is the bingo card people on the left use, then sounds like it is the card for me. I will be able to sleep well at night.

Not triggered at all. Your attempt to turn this on me is not working. Enjoy your “freedom” that you think you have (of which you don’t on Blizzard’s system). The Social Contract I suspect will catch up to you sooner or later and we’ll see you crying in the CS forum – I was suspended for no reason. I’ll bring popcorn.

Oh really?! Who would have thought?! clearly it flew over your head. For someone who has no humor I sure hope blizzard doesn’t let you moderate and dictate what is acceptable humor.

Thank you for agreeing with my point entirely, block, don’t remove freedom of expression. This however doesn’t make you any less of a hypocrite.

Again, Oh Really? Who would have thought?!

Deflect, Deflect, Deflect, Deny, and bring nothing of substance to any accusations or evidence presented. Next is the part where you walk away, and say it’s no longer worth your time I think? That is the typical order of things.

I love how you only quoted the things that triggered you and not everything that destroyed your arguments completely. Must be hard having to read them a second time to quote it.

“Don’t bring politics into this, meanwhile let me continue to be political”
“Let me stand up against racism, body shaming, and bullying while in this thread and other threads partake in it and try to bully others”

Massive Hypocrite.

Point out one quote where I body shamed someone, said a racist remark or bullying. I can’t wait to see how you get this all messed up.

Not once was I political. I made a response to you and someone else who brought it into the equation. Perhaps more education on reading comprehension is something to put on your bucket list.

Provide evidence.

You are the king of smoke and mirrors, and defer and deflect. I suspect you learned that from your (that’s right I’m going to introduce it now) FAR right leaning friends. You know the ones who are criminals or have space lasers. Typical playbook for them.

correct really.

I agree you are being childish but you have zero freedoms of expression no a private system and that is what the Social Contact is all about, but that I would assume is above your intelligence level to understand.

Provide something funny and I’ll laugh other than your inability to comprehend.

That was either bullying or anything else. I figured you’d pull out that kind of nonsense. If you are having a tantrum on the forums I’ll just point it out - nothing really other than truth must hurt.

Nothing political about that statement. If you are using a word incorrectly then you need more education on the use of words.

All of the rest of your statement is regurgitated garbage that I’ve already dismissed as smoke and mirror/defer and deflect nonsense.

bullied; bullying
to treat (someone) in a cruel, insulting, threatening, or aggressive fashion

I guess lets just take insulting off the definition so it can fit your own personal definition.
This way you can call people babies all you want and not have to label yourself as a bully and accept your other earned label of hypocrite.

Politics - the activities associated with the governance of a country or other area , especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power .

Welp I guess we will just change the definition of politics for you too and make it so it only references a country’s government.

If you having a tantrum then you are acting like a baby and having a tantrum…that is just the plain truth.

Now if I were to use body shaming terms or racial slurs or other forms of what you think should be protected under your freedoms along with stating they or you were having tantrums and acting like a baby then I would agree, but I didn’t so trying to fit that square peg into that round hole won’t work.

I can see you replying and I’m done with this conversation. You want to be always right and there is no sense trying to argue with someone who is not able to understand there are other views in the world other than theirs. Feel free to get the last word in since I know that is what you like to have, but I won’t be seeing it

:thread: :mute: :no_bell:

I could call you a wide range of insulting words right now that would all be factually true, It doesn’t change them from being directed and perceived as insults and thus making it bullying.

You can keep doing your… how did you call it “Smoke and mirrors” to tip toe around your own factually incorrect definition of these things, or continue to deflect for YOUR lack of comprehension of them if you want. You really won’t convince anyone and just keep digging your own hole. For someone who cares so much about Social Justice I find it surprisingly ironic that you care nothing for your own Social Credit.

More deflecting? But per usual, “I’ve been proven wrong and made to look a fool, instead of admitting I was wrong and my ideology is harmful to the community, I’m just done with this conversation.”

The irony of them posting the bullying definition when they themselves fall into it and they themselves were the instigator here.

Choice cuts.

The irony of you making this comment less than 3 minutes after Radalpho decided to not comment anymore.

I guess him insinuating that I’m a child and throwing a tantrum isn’t intended to be an insult? Guess If we ignore that anything that follows would be me instigating it? I guess having differing points is me instigating it? Guess I shouldn’t wear a skirt then or I’d be asking for it?

Secondly, The issue is he decided to start a crusade and advocate against bullying, racism, and body shaming by advocating for more blizzard involvement which makes him a Hypocrite since he also partakes in what he is advocating against.

All “Choice cuts” means to me is the future removal of chat from the game entirely. It doesn’t just stop with removing body shaming, racism, bullying. It keeps going to jokes you don’t find humorous, political takes you don’t like, using other languages than English, criticism or advice how to dps/heal/tank better, asking for mage food, a healer asking the tank to let them drink because how dare you tell him how to play the game, and eventually as stupid as spelling and grammar errors.

Just like in Final Fantasy where it started with jokes/humor/bullying/politics it then turned into you can’t criticize players for their errors so they don’t repeat them next pull, you can’t help someone with a quest because it spoils the quest for them, you can’t ask a player to use a defensive cooldown or healing cooldown on specific mechanics, you can’t give advice to anyone on how to play their class to preform better EVEN IF THEY ASK YOU FOR IT.

Point is Blizzard has a method to block people so you don’t have to deal with their communication. Use it and don’t turn a MMORPG into a game that feels like a single player game with advanced AI bots by advocating for more chat moderation like the Final Fantasy community did and state endlessly that they regret it.

You aren’t speaking from a place of virtue here considering how you made your entrance into this thread.

Pretty hypocritical to go off on someone about alleged actions while you sit here committing those same actions.

It meant the irony was delicious, like a choice cut of meat. Not whatever meaning you derived from it, which is a very very very very big departure from a normal inference.

Treat that chip on your shoulder friend. You’ll have a happier life.

Seems like you should have taken your own advice twice now.

“Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you” Since he wanted to insult/belittle, I figured that is the way he wanted to be treated so I returned it in kind.

Advocating for a community to have freedom of expression? Noting my concerns and worries of what could happen to the community if more moderation continues to build up? Trying to protect in-game communication? Those wouldn’t be Virtuous actions by nature?

The meaning anyone who read or took part in the thread would take, which constantly referred to his advocacy of the removal of choice and individual expression. It came off as you like-wise supporting the removal of player choice and expression.

How do you figure? What makes you think I take issue with communicating with either of you?

The people with at least half a brain knew it was useless window dressing because it would require resources (:moneybag::moneybag::moneybag:) to enforce and we all knew they weren’t going to dip into the yacht or settlement funds for that.

Don’t put too much stock into Radalpho, they/them loves to use strawmans and deflections.

What you speak is truth, but one little change. The left aren’t easily offended, they are EAGERLY offended.

“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”. Which is actually being used properly unlike your quote of “do unto others” which you’re twisting the meaning of to validate your own less than stellar behavior.
