PS: you don't understand the point of the comparison

pspspspsps

you're trying to justify the shit people do on here as "well everyone else does it"

I understand the point completely, and I think even the most basic sense of self-reflection would make you realize how utterly mental you sound for making it

I'm not justifying anything. I'm telling you your solution is stupid. Because it is true that where you find competition you'll find what you like to define as toxicity

also real sports != the internet in terms of vernacular, so please don't argue semantics between those two realms

last post because lord god it's like painful to my brain

except for all the places you don't have people screaming slurs into your ear, I guess

...you're the one who made the comparison? I'm the one who pointed out how silly it was?

??????

I've literally just said "don't say slurs and put a tag into your name if you want". jesus christ, how is this the response of all things

why does the frag system still exist or why can't you see who's + and - fragging you yet

tbh i was hoping this thread was about panic :(

the basis of what I'm saying is that most people don't have fun when people around them are being rude, and most people play comp for fun.

that's it dude. you can talk all you want about every other comp community and honestly none of that matters.

what we can do about it is actually moderate forums. hold people accountable for their behavior and their behavior improves.

I promise you that if TFTV didn't exist the community would be friendlier because we wouldn't feel so fucking righteous about hating on people for idiotic reasons

uhm ok

didn't realize one canadian man encompassed the whole tftv community.

[02:43:05] <oPlaiD`> yo it's me samuel gaming god lingles where the fuck are u faggots at
[02:43:13] <oPlaiD`> i need my dick sucked
[02:43:14] <oPlaiD`> stat

i was just highlighting random words in that sentence and linking things, the placement is irrelevant. what i'm just referring to the kind of shitposting that he does where he tries to be funny by ironically mocking everything, and also how people tend to approve of it

How else can you show those subopen players that your ironic shit talk is more important than theirs?

How are people any more dicks in this game than any other community? You're acting like TF2's community is significantly more toxic than any other community, whether it be gaming or not. Like clockwork said, "i can't fathom how even one of you truthfully believes that toxicity is affecting this game's playerbase." TF2 really isn't any more toxic than other communities.

You say the TF2 community is so toxic towards how we treat people, but you're the one that always has a sarcastic remarks to people you don't like in order to mock them.

I also hope you realize the only people that trash talk you with intention are those who find it funny how you take every word on the internet so literal.

get that bullshit out of here and let's talk about the masterpiece that is a fever you can't sweat out

smobo show proof of one person that genuinely quit playing competitive tf2 because of gyggly or CHAT IN A PUB and ill eat my fucking shoe

Are you really this dumb. Really. Pls, is this a troll account.

You can't even follow your own line of thought. Get this idiot out of here.

hi

I only came back here because I hoped that the best community member this place has ever seen wanting out would get you to figure out how much needs changing, because I love this game but I cannot stand being near competitive's community for more than five minutes without someone beating the slur that I hear all the time, the one that's turned me into a fucking mental wreck because I'm afraid I'll be beaten and broken until I can't function anymore, and every time I would try to talk against it the only response was doubling down

call me an idiot for feeling hopeful, I guess

honestly, super nice communities are always the shittiest and most boring. it's like living in the suburbs.

I remember when TFTV didn't exist, we had gotfrag. Are you sure you could of survived those days?

I was under the impression that people stopped playing games because they no longer find them fun. To say that people would leave a game because of a few assholes is strange to me, because in that case, the person in question probably didn't even like the game that much anyway.

If you're turned off by "toxic" behavior in online videogames, then you're pretty much gonna spend the rest of your life offline. Every game has assholes.

Absolutely every single online game you will ever play could have this same exact conversation. I personally think the fact that we're HAVING this conversation is concrete proof that we are an intelligent community who is constantly willing to make changes, even if they're not necessary(in this case).

8th graders thinking they're too cool to hang with 7th graders

this entire thread needs to be firebombed

To bounce off this I bet you could find people that STARTED to play because of ggglygy, shits fucking golden

I never said people quit playing competitive because of chat in a pub, but do you really think shit talk has never bothered anyone or contributed to people leaving? because Stabby just left the community partly because of the disrespect he got from the comp community.

I still don't think that any other community is relevant here. I'm talking about our community and how we can improve it. (that is, holding people accountable for poor behavior).

I was mocking your post, not you. I really don't have a problem with you, you were just posing a really poor argument. You really don't know me at all if you think I'm toxic and treat people poorly. Go try to find the instances of me insulting people for anything other than them being rude or needlessly aggressive. There are a few and I still haven't forgiven myself for them.

are you implying your sarcastic aggression to every ugc and tftv forum post isn't rude and toxic?

ill call u an idiot because i dont even kno wat the fuck im reading lol

We've come full circle. This is it boys.

No because smobo is the symbol of purity and justice as he goes out of his way in order to help newer players see the light so nothing he says is rude or toxic!

Excluding this thread, how much sarcastic aggression do I really post? Seriously. You're insulting me for stuff that isn't even true.

Yeah, that's totally what I'm saying.
