[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47646148]what? that's kinda what everyone is doing here. throwing witty punches at eachother. I'm trying to point out the hypocrisy here. im not throwing words in other people's mouths, where have I done that?[/QUOTE] It would help then, if you knew the context of why he was getting "flamed" He's had more calm and rational discussions than he deserves, while throwing shit in my face. Why the FUCK should I continue to extend my hand, over and over again, only to be spat at, over and over again?
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47646153]i don't think i was ever defending dr critic, i didn't even know he existed[/QUOTE] Wait, did you mean Snake7? If you mean him, well now you're just talking nonsense.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47646140]you flaming him pretty much proves him right; the stereotype for both sides is literally flaming the other side until someone cries[/QUOTE] I don't think I really understand what flaming is. Explain it to me, please.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47646153]i don't think i was ever defending dr critic, i didn't even know he existed[/QUOTE] So it's okay for some people to get told to shove it? Why? I'm just going to point out YOUR hypocrisy here.
[QUOTE=AaronM202;47646159]Wait, did you mean Snake7? If you mean him, well now you're just talking nonsense.[/QUOTE] he's talking about unidentifiedflyingtard
[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;47646172]he's talking about unidentifiedflyingtard[/QUOTE] Oh, oh oh oh. Woops, i must've missed that.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;47646167]So it's okay for some people to get told to shove it? Why? I'm just going to point out YOUR hypocrisy here.[/QUOTE] i didn't even know if he existed, and by the sounds of it you guys already dealt with him. [QUOTE=Van-man;47646147]someone's trying to take the highground without a valid argument.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Zang-Pog;47646150]Are you dodging what I said just to spew more garbage about stuff that has nothing to do with the thread? [I]Classic[/I][/QUOTE] like this is a prime example of what happens in these threads you're not really convincing people to join any movement or believe what you say with these kinds of "witty" comebacks "what your saying is garbage" "look he's taking the highground without an argument! THIS IS CLASSIC" like can people just be chill when talking about videogames
So, flyingtard is in the green with you because he STARTED HIS CONVERSATION HERE WITH "You guys are deluded and don't care about the truth". SO somehow, in your mind, he's the guy that's been offended here? [editline]2nd May 2015[/editline] He's the guy who got flamed right away? Maybe, just maybe Roflburger, it's because he entered this thread angry, flaming, and full of assumptions that he wouldn't change? I love SH's hateboner for GG, give everyone, and anything else the benefit of the doubt while complaining about every aspect of GG's behaviour.

Alright, well I'd just like to apologise. Honestly yes, you are entitled to discuss this even if it comes off as furious and perhaps over-passionate. I do just get somewhat annoyed to see all this nasty shit going back and forth over something I don't associate the same level of importance with. I'll leave now.

i cant remember what being anti-gg even means now [editline]2nd May 2015[/editline] or what gamergate has even become

So when he comes in here, and his first words to us(After having done this EXACT same thing so many times before) are straight up insults and flames, not clever witty flames, just "You guys are fucking deluded". Don't get all pissy with us when we see someone repeating their behaviour of jumping in, flaming, running away as they have for 6 or 7 months now. We've engaged with him in a non hostile way. He still spits in our faces over it. So what are we to do? Continually act nice about it? It isn't "ever so slightly disagreeing" with us. It's outright calling us names and degrading us for something we care about. People get to flame us freely, and have people defend them. When we do so much as respond, we get people like you acting like we're destroying their voices for defending ourselves. It's one sided and that much is obvious to me.

[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;47646204]I'm chill when I talk about videogames, though this has nothing to do with the games and it's about the people behind them. I'll talk to you all day about games and how much I like them, I just tend to get my panties in a bunch when people aren't being exactly fair towards others[/QUOTE] and that's the problem here, what is "fair" seems to be pretty subjective around here. you'll get the same treatment as someone who came into this thread screaming "gamergate is full of misogynistic neckbeards" if you say "I don't really like gamergate" i remember coming in one of these, saying that I don't support gamergate or anti-gamergate. apparently i think it's full of misogynists even though i don't ever remember saying that. like honestly both movements turned into something that cannot be repaired to it's actual meaning I agree that games journalism is trash and needs to improve it's quality. I agree that some games are pretty fucking creepy when it comes to dealing with women. I don't agree with Anita's methods of spreading awareness for feminism.

I just think flaming back solves nothing and makes you guys look really bad.
i just looked through all the responses to UFT, and while some were maybe a bit harsh they weren't really flaming. i mean, he even apologized for being a bit assy about it and it was accepted pretty quickly. did flaming get downgraded or something? or did i miss a few posts.
Yeah people keep saying everyone is flaming everyone and I still don't understand who is doing the flaming or if flaming is actually happening.

I see serious hypocrisy about this and I'm just pointing it out. I'm overly frustrated this morning so my post quality has probably dropped because of that, but in any case, I just feel you're giving the benefit of the doubt to people who regularly act like we're the devil incarnate.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47646305]idk is my definition of flaming wrong or something? someone who gets heated over something and voices it, is flaming.[/QUOTE] That ain't flaming, flaming is intentionally [I]PROVOKING[/I] such responses, often with purposefully controversial posts.

Usually, that leads me nowhere as I'm just told I'm a hateful person at some level and ignored. How do you communicate with people who don't want to listen to you? Ignore them? That's not communication though.
i'vs always thought flaming was something like "alright you fucking piece of shit" ect
[QUOTE=Van-man;47646322]That ain't flaming, flaming is intentionally [I]PROVOKING[/I] such responses, often with purposefully controversial posts.[/QUOTE] im going to have to say that people are still flaming even with that definition apparently you guys told this guy 50 times that he was wrong or something? and you know you can't convince him so you do it anyways with provocative responses?

[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;47646340]That's trolling, flaming is calling somebody an asshole or something like that[/QUOTE] Ahh, fuck it, I've been messing up the definition of things lately. Ol' bad habit of mine.

Fuck this gamergate shit is annoying

[QUOTE=Araknid;47646359]Fuck this gamergate shit is annoying[/QUOTE] Then fuck off and avoid these threads. Is that flaming?
[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;47646368]i dunno, i've gotten banned for flaming before for telling people to eat shit but never for when i was heatedly arguing[/QUOTE] because it's not as severe, facepunch moderating is subjective and they know that it would be dumb to ban someone for having a heated argument because there wouldn't be a sh
