I mean, so do most places on the internet
I'd rather it deal with toxic devs more tbh
I've got a better solution; Teach people how to handle others' salt & angers, or strengthen their selfesteems so they won't have to submit to digitalized slaunder (lols)

That's quite the colourful selection in general, though :v:

You can't solve toxicity. The more you try to remove it the more people will be toxic. [sp]and i dont blame them[/sp]

It's almost as if context means something :thinking:
Sure, i agree. for a start lets ban all the pcgamer journalists.

I know a lot of gay guys who'll refer to themselves that way a lot. I know it's still offensive to some other gay people but it's not like bigots are the only one who say it.

This clearly means they support offending homosexuals, since there's no way it's randomly chosen or done following an algorightm. Nice going PCGamer, didn't expect that from you.

The only time it's used in a semi-serious way was when the whole PC Master Race fad was all the rage on reddit back in 2013~ and even then I never once thought of shit like Nazis. Fuck, even when I first saw it, I knew it was some sort of inside joke. People really do go ridiculous lengths to get their fehfehs hurt eh

That said, if you have [I]zero[/I] context then 'master race' is probably going to be offensive to the average person. Then again, I'm German so I'm probably much more likely to draw the nazi association than most people from other countries [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff"]:hoff:[/URL]
I guess I was too busy living my life to notice that eggshells were being stepped on in <insert social web zone here>. But I can see how that would be newsworthy, since the world is full of chickens.
Damn some people are really fragile.
That makes as much sense as getting offended by a cereal box.
if you keep complaining then they know they can push your buttons and get a response, so they'll just do it worse in a case like this the best thing is to not take their bait, if everyone in the world realised this then they'd all just fuck off no one seems to realise that "don't feed the trolls" actually works, it just takes time
