#319 Fat shaming in Off Topic
smakersIf anything, by the very definition of the word, you are being bigoted toward me by constantly displaying your intolerance of my beliefs and opinions. This is the very point I attempted to make in my first post: that many (I would even venture to say most) of the people fighting for rights in the LGBT community are incredibly hypocritical because they want the world to be tolerant, accepting, and welcoming of their opinions, but they are simultaneously vehemently intolerant of anyone who does not tolerate, accept, and welcome their opinions.

Welcome to the world of cis white male grief. Get used to it, it doesn't go away.

#272 Fat shaming in Off Topic

To clarify what should have been said since the dawn of time:
Gay- Epigenetic trait with no mental health implications
Trans- Questionably epigenetic (nothing has been investigated about it) but likely psychological and, as long as it's addressed no long term damage is done. (there are notably high depression rates in trans individuals, even post op)

Drunk- Addiction issue; long term effects are a mixed bag of results. liver/kidney problems for sure
Fat- Addiction issue, although socio-economic factors placate a fair amount of fat-stats and definitely do not assist the people struggling already; no positives, at all. (other then datasstho)

#15 Textbooks in Off Topic

If they wrote the textbook, tell them to fuck off.
That's my one absolute pet peeve from college. Odds are, it's a corner case book that does little to nothing for your education. My religion professor wrote a book about the crusades, a well documented and well researched topic that added FUCKING NOTHING to the curriculum of this course. I promptly told him I'm not buying it because it does nothing for the course. He was mad.
I aced that course (one of like 3 before i dropped out)

Justifyedwafflebdingohow can you call being fat un-desirable and disgusting when you pretend to be a girl
I'm pretty sure that I'm beautiful L0L dont have to pretend mate
smakersYou can't really compare being LGBT with obesity. If it really upsets people to be made fun of when they're obese, they can lose weight. If you're gay or whatever, there is shit all you can do about people making fun of you, thus there is a cause to fight for.

Also, I don't expect people to treat me as an equal. I have come to accept that in todays society, however normal and cis I may look and sound, if someone finds out about me being transgender they will most likely be a little put off. I'm not bothered. There's nothing I can change about it.
But if I could, I know that I would do anything and everything I could to do so

You act as if losing all the weight is so easy.

You act like it's difficult. Diet, excercise, perhaps a metabolic from a doctor (if the person actually has a thyroid problem) and some time and dedication, most people stop being fat.

#13 Fat shaming in Off Topic

There's definitely a difference between those that are obese and those that are fat. Fat is a genetic predisposition that can be helped with diet and excercise and . . . you know, some self control.
Obesity usually due to some weird psych-jive that's really just

excuses, excuses, excuses, excuses

and should be treated as such. If somebody keeps drinking to near death every night, you call them out on it and hopefully they change. But if somebody is fat because of some bullshit reason they come up with, it's suddenly wrong?

Yeah, fuck that, lose weight.

#240 ESEA Quick Fix Ruling in TF2 General Discussion
2sy_morphiendDrPloxoBut listening to babies cry about how it's OP is just pandering to idiots.
http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/11455-an-explanation

If it is so clearly not broken can you please refute my points made.

For the most part, I agree. But the problem isn't really the quickfix, like you said. It's definitely strong, but so are invulnerability and crits. Since both of those run on a different methodology, it's difficult to balance them with the QF.

The stalemates here aren't necessarily the quick fix's fault, but moreso from over-arching gameplay imbalances (let's be honest here, defensive classes in this game are way more powerful than the offensive capabilities of anything else) that when combined with the quick fix can make the game pretty painful to play and spectate

Quickfix's strength is fast heals and mobility. This enables more offensive strength, which is good for the game since, at the moment, we run 2 soldiers and 2 scouts on a team. Perhaps a demo/heavy/engie nerf would be nice, but they're meant to be strong damage classes so you can push out after a solid defense. Perhaps something as simple as swapping demo and roamer for flanks is the right solution, I have no clue in all honesty, but I do know that offensive classes get a little more love with this medigun.

External to this, the quick fix med leash has made the roamer more or less a crap shoot in any outdoor situation as you are able to jump your medic away (think shades of MGE's gayest strats) and easily clean up the bomb. It certainly makes off-classing more viable, but only because it made bombing less so. (I think it also looks like a joke and reflects poorly on a game trying to be taken seriously as genuinely competitive, but this is purely my opinion.)

Roamer is usually a crapshoot with those kinds of bombs. Since a solid bomb is more timing than trying to 1v1 a pocket. Meds have always been able to surf rockets, and nobody minded that. The option of a med just getting out of the way because of a mis-timed bomb has always been there.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but it seems like 99% of the fallout comes from a boring finals match. We all seemed to love viaduct. Nobody minded any of the other matches, up until lan.

#236 ESEA Quick Fix Ruling in TF2 General Discussion

WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT FUCKING LAN!?
We're talking about a ban that SHOULD have happened during the season, but didn't and NOW they change their minds about it.

Brad said it in . . . I forgot who's stream, but we're like Open level with the quick-fix.

How about ESEA bans anybody that stays on heavy for more than 3 minutes in a ma- WAIT it's on the attacking team to push last. How about we get rid of gul- not enough good maps to play. AH YES WE'LL GET RID OF THE MOBILITY OF TF2, THAT WILL BE SPECTATOR FRIENDLY.

It got picked up because of how strong it was with a strong pocket. Not because it's strong with heavy (Uber/kritz heavy>QF heavy btw; .9 seconds until the heavy dies at literally on top of each other and all bullets hit with uber, .7 with the QF) but because mobility is the only reason we run soldier pockets. LAN was definitely boring, and Gully was a terrible pick by whoever the fuck picked it. But listening to babies cry about how it's OP is just pandering to idiots.

#227 ESEA Quick Fix Ruling in TF2 General Discussion
brownstoneIf we take out the quickfix for one season, with everything else being constant (i.e., same amount of prize money, same maps...) then we can determine whether or not it was the quickfix's fault for the stalemates. Taking away one variable and keeping everything else as a controlled variable to run a "experiment" has always been the proper (scientific) approach to determine how one variable affects another.

If S15 LAN turns out to be as stalematey as it was this LAN without the quickfix then why not let it back in? However, if it's absence does seem to improve the pacing of the game then I don't see why it should be unbanned (unless there is a proper nerf that is...).

Because the QF meta isn't going to change if it isn't used. So you'd have another season of uber/kritz, but then the development phase again.

#223 ESEA Quick Fix Ruling in TF2 General Discussion

So wait, you allow a weapon to be used this after a massive change; contrary to previous experience with the exclusion of the Equalizer, and then ban the weapon immediately after LAN, despite the numerous season that Invite captains have picked the banned weapons to little or no complaints from the player base.
Makes sense.

Put it to the invite captains to pick.
