I’m calm as shit man. Relaxing on a Sunday. It’s just that I’m not wrong. He is self-entitled. He wants game developers to spend their money publishing DVDs for the one-off collectors – nevermind the environment, nevermind that they’re going to be downloading day 1 updates the size of the game anyway, nevermind all of the ridiculous arguments about “oh poor me, they won’t let me easily copy and distribute their product to my friends”. Nope – “I’m a collector, and game developers are awful people for not giving me my CD and this should be illegal and society should make laws to satisfy my collector quirk.”
Are you fucking for real. Go back and read this fuckin’ thread, dude, that’s what people are fucking saying. “Make laws against this”.
That’s self-entitlement defined. It’s not a charge, it’s an observation made by an adult living in a society of law regarding another publicly made comment. I offered scrutiny from the apparently rare perspective of being a grown up.
And this is very much a childish argument. Like whining your dinner at the restaurant didn’t come in a colorful box with a toy inside, or that the book you have to read has no pictures in it. They’re not even complaining about the product, they’re complaining about the package it’s delivered in. Literally the same as saying “that meal is gonna suck because it didn’t come in a McDonalds box”. Six year olds think like that.
Gamers are the most entitled group of brats on the planet and this is just one tiny example it. Literally demanding useless plastic trash, not even a toy or anything you look at - no, just a useless blu-ray disc that the hardware all but ignores anyway.
And again - I’m calm as shit. Don’t make the mistake of thinking a few paragraphs means I’m angry. That’s just being lazy, you can read. Hell, you can even read criticism. And if you can’t, get the hell off social media.
“i am very chill” you then proceed to write what is basically a screed doubling down–this isn’t ban worthy but it is a bit silly, please do a little bit of self-reflection here about how this comes off right now
It’s pretty fucking immature (and gaslighty) to respond to valid criticism with “chill out bro”.
Go ahead and ban me, you don’t need to make passive-aggressive threats. You can just power-trip away. Don’t forget to leave a comment that reads “user was banned” so everyone knows how calm and collected you are with your ban hammer.
And I’ll say it again. *Deep breath, peaceful mind, thoughtful spirit*: That user is an entitled child who made a stupid argument.
I know I shouldn’t feed the trolls, but that’s not what gaslighting is and it’s fairly disrespectful to those who have actually experienced that kind of abuse to just throw the term around because someone disagreed with you and asked you to calm down.
When someone says a thing and you deliberately interpret anger where there was none (especially after they’ve said it, “I’m not angry”) and insist they “calm down” rather than addressing any valid criticism or complaint they actually bring up, that’s quite gaslighty. It’s intentionally presenting a false reality and insisting I adhere to it “or he’s just wild, he won’t calm down”.
Or “he’s just a troll not worthy of consideration” as you put it. Which is definitively dehumanizing as well, but you don’t see me whining about it. It is ironic though. Me calling childish arguments childish, whoa! You calling someone a troll, that’s perfectly reasonable. You calm down.
It’s not strictly the same as gaslighting but that’s why I said “gaslighty”. But go off about the hypothetical strangers I belittled, please, whatever gets you going down there.
