Victim blaming, never gets old on the Eve forums, that was a very wordy one too. ---

How was this victim blaming? We’re all victims here haha. I was, atleast trying, to be neutral. Maybe it’s my English for it not being my first language. I don’t know. Though i admit there’s nothing neutral at the end saying it’s usually the losing side in high-security space but the general idea of the post is neutral right. Right? ---

> [@Monte\_Franzese](#): > > Most often when player vs player combat happens in high-security space. The losing side is very very toxic about losing and they rarely listen. It was that. > [@Monte\_Franzese](#): > > It’s also actually studied that the younger the player is, the more this toxicity manifests itself when you’re not dealing in a actual human to human interaction enviorment. This part was actually a good point though and I do agree with teaching people and tips in a friendly manner. I have seen too many gankers wind up their victims to see it the way you do, but I guess that is my experience. ---

Yes it kind of was a bit have to admit haha. Both parties can indeed equally be very problematic with the delivery of communications afterwards. ---

As a long time enemy of many gank group , I have noticed over time how they talk to me in chat . At first it was very toxic and abusive but I was never toxic back . I remember one time chatting to one well known large gankers and he invited me to there chat channel , saying his guys will probably kill him for bringing me here, very stand off ISH at first but the chat went well and they often say hi even now . Remember gankers can get a very toxic response right away from there victims as you can see in Aiko’s blog so they to become wary of talking to strangers. Of course my non toxic approach back fired a bit on me , why hunting gankers in our ag fleet we jumped into there home sys and I got greeted with hello Gith from several gankers. Mind you they still took the piss but the banter was more light hearted. This did bring into question weather I was a spy or not from other ag members. I’ve enjoyed me time fighting gankers and working the sys to be more effective. Hope to get back to it soon. But even I still enjoy extracting salt from a butt hurt ganker ---
