The High Elf Love Thread 🥰

[Guzzle-barthilas]

I know the mods said antis should stick to the existing helf threads but it’s spam for antis to post in existing helf threads bro.

[Itlatn-illidan]

The only logical course is to not post.

[Fyorsing-sargeras]

Of course the whole argument has a very obvious hole: Obviously none of you have quit over the failure to implement high elves so how could your opinions deserve consideration?

It’s only an obvious hole if you assumed that I was of the mind that our discussion here, or our opinions, has any bearing on what Blizzard does or doesn’t do – which I’m not.

I’d argue that 10,000 people writing in the same reason for them quitting at the account cancellation page is probably worth more to Blizzard than 100,000 people, begrudgingly subscribed, complaining on the forums.

an environment in which a person encounters only beliefs or opinions that coincide with their own, so that their existing views are reinforced and alternative ideas are not considered.

The whole definition is the whole definition, you can’t cherry-pick pieces of it and then pretend like it is applicable – in order for something to be an echo chamber, as per your own provided definition, the environment must be one in which a person encounters only beliefs or opinions that coincide with their own.

That isn’t happening here.

It was pointed out you wanted an echo chamber, and instead of showing how it was the opposite, you doubled down on it. .

And, again, what I proposed isn’t an echo chamber even utilizing the dictionary definition that you provided. I’d suggest learning how to fully comprehend a concept, in this case echo chambers, before speaking to it.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

That isn’t happening here.

The claim made was the desire for an echo chamber, not the existence of one.

[Itlatn-illidan]

The whole definition is the whole definition, you can’t cherry-pick pieces of it

You’re right, the whole definition is the whole definition, and the whole definition refers to a desire for only those where the existing view is reinforced. Which is what you wanted, when you said I only want to talk about this, and others should not talk about it.

That isn’t happening here.

nu uh, uh huh, nu uh, uh huh.

Whatevs dude.
You think you’re not trying to request one, but you are, and if you’re in denial then nothing can be done to change it.

And, again, what I proposed isn’t an echo chamber

Based on the dictionary definition I provided, you are indeed proposing one.
I only want to discuss how HE can be implemented..
Yeah…echo chamber.

Seriously, this is a case of just being in denial, not a case of interpretation. It is either that, or you have no idea how to properly articulate yourself.

[Kylorendori-lightbringer]

Hey, look who’s 120!

I love Korrak’s version of AV, loooooooooooooove it.

[Murgatroyd-lightbringer (Murgatroyd)]

If I, or anybody else, chooses to simply ignore any commentary that isn’t aimed towards the discussion of how playable High Elves might become playable (and, instead, are focused listing why they shouldn’t be)… that’s my prerogative.

Of course it’s your prerogative. But ignoring - which again you have every right to do - everyone with a dissenting opinion seems pretty echo-y to me.

[Itlatn-illidan]

She isn’t silencing anyone though, so its not an echo chamber.
Its just an environment where she will only ever entertain those of like minds!

[Guzzle-barthilas]

Of course it’s your prerogative. But ignoring - which again you have every right to do - everyone with a dissenting opinion seems pretty echo-y to me.

I’m not sure if there’s a technical term for it, but I’d always understood people who refuse to acknowledge views that disagree with their own as wearing blinders.

Which is ironic considering the Alliance’s horse ptsd.

The claim made was the desire for an echo chamber, not the existence of one.

You’ll have to point out any post that I made, last night, in which I expressed a desire to see any and all opposing views censored.

I’ve been rather candid in what I desire, which is the freedom (socially, more than anything) to actively ignore attempts by those who are against playable HE’s to undermine any discussion I’m participating in. That isn’t censorship, that isn’t an echo chamber, it’s a person utilizing their freedom of association to actively navigate away from toxic commentary.

Which is what you wanted, when you said I only want to talk about this, and others should not talk about it .

I didn’t once suggest you shouldn’t talk about anything, in fact, here’s numerous quotes:

I’m unashamed about my lack of interest in discussing whether or not playable High Elves are justifiable. They exist, they’re justified.

Absolutely! When you’re ready to talk about which variety of HE that Blizzard should derive playable HE’s from, and not whether they should implement playable HE’s are all, we’ll oppose each other all the live long day.

There isn’t any rule that indicates I’m obligated to indulge your commentary, especially when it falls well outside of the range of what I’m interested in talking about. Sorry, not sorry.

• I don’t want an echo chamber, which is why I’m not in the Discord.
• I don’t believe you’re violating any rules, which is why I don’t flag you.
• I do believe that I’ve got every right to ignore you when you’re being silly, and I will most certainly make use of that right when necessary.

You’re allowed to discuss whatever you’d like, I’m allowed to choose whether I ignore it or not. It’s as simple as that.

[Somuchsass-dalaran]

Ignoring dissenting opinions is hardly adult.

[Itlatn-illidan]

Oh look, that is a suggestion.
“I won’t discuss anything that is not supporting my playable HE’s.”

Continue arguing and saying that isn’t what you intend, even though its what you intend, but that isn’t what you intend.

This is a pointless discussion where you have no desire to acknowledge what you pushed forward so. I’ll ignore it from here and just point it out everytime you go “I am ignoring you.”

Ignoring dissenting opinions is hardly adult.

Depends on circumstances.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

Disagree,the USSR didn’t appreciate dissenting voices and that was about the most adult nation in history.

[Fyorsing-sargeras]

Oh well.

[Somuchsass-dalaran]

Well sure, if someones screaming in your face racial epithets and how XYZ is inferior, yeah feel free to ignore them. Were having or rather trying to have a civilized discussion on a subject and i don’t feel this has anything to do with dependant circumstances.

[Somuchsass-dalaran]

Then why would anyone take you seriously?

[Lorithyn-agamaggan (Lorithyn)]

I like civilized discussions, those are the best. I’m quite glad that High Elf threads aren’t echo chambers, they’d die out otherwise

[Somuchsass-dalaran]

Sorry, went over my head i can’t tell what you are trying to say.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

Come on, the greatest hero is the working man, primary foodstuff is the turnip, the flag has a hammer on it, like 90% of the population lives in the same design of house as everyone else?

That’s an almost offensively grown up nation.

[Somuchsass-dalaran]

my humor/sarcasm detector is down i can’t tell if ur messing with me agreeing with me or what. I only have decaf to work with today. Apologies.
