Yes, and the antiganking community also has people with inappropriate names, who do and say inappropriate things. The difference here is that I am willing to acknowledge it, and say that I don’t condone it or agree with it - whereas the antigankers ONLY object to gankers, and they never ever ever criticize their own group.
Yes, that’s hypocrisy.
For the record, Shekel is Jewish in real-life, and his references are self-demeaning. In much the same way, Evan McClean (with Japanese ancestry) enjoys talking about “rice eaters”. It’s certainly off-colour humour. The other day I banned someone from my channels for outright neo-fascist statements. See, that’s the thing. I agree it’s inappropriate, I can criticize my own group of people - but can antigankers do the same?
We’ve seen essay after essay, in which the antigankers deflect and refuse to make any statement which might acknowledge toxic elements in their own community. I’m well aware that some of my people are immature, some of them are alcoholics, some of them I don’t even like. However, we don’t get that same honesty from the antigankers. They insist that they have some moral high ground, but they do not.
Neither of you do. You’re two groups doing your utmost to piss off people for fun.
I wholeheartedly acknowledge that the side you and yours oppose level way worse abuse at you, but then, you and yours deliberately try to spin them up to that level. The frothy rage flecked spittle is exactly what you want, because it amuses you.
Gankers might find it amusing if someone starts ranting and raving, but that is not the motivation for ganking, or the purpose of it. If nobody ever got upset, the gankers would not go away, and they would not stop ganking.
You’ve “seen the blog”, but somehow missed where this produces gleeful chortling and egging on?
You folks insult people’s intelligence as a primary hobby.
Yeah, James and his female avatars get the most vile ■■■■ slung that a enraged human can muster. Yes, it’s deplorable and a loss of their dignity.
And yes, you push the line until you get that response. You’ll dance on the microedge of the rules specifically to infuriate and annoy, so you can all laugh and have your blogs and SoundClouds.
And you know what? I’m all for it. The gankers always follow the rules, while they bait others to break them.
You’re not the ones doing wrong. Your victims are.
But FFS stop acting like no one else sees the game.
You don’t seem to have any problem making all manner of implications yourself…in a thread 90% of the substance of which consists of inane ’ all members of X are Y…’ retorts that would not be out of place in a school play yard. It would appear that far larger than the ganker or anti-ganker ‘communities’ is the ‘Members incapable of acting like anything other than school kids’ group.
Judging by this forum it has a very large membership.
