ResoluteRock Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Totally off topic, but is the original poster's avatar a drawing of a human centipede? ? On topic, I agree with @Lan Stee. I've seen some less-than-civil discourse in various threads on the Last of Us 2 on this site. Most of the offending posts were deleted. Maybe it's been more civil here than on other sites, but the discussion usually tends to drift from civility into madness. EDIT: the original poster deleted the human centipede avatar ?

Popular Post DrBloodmoney Posted July 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2020 Well, not for nothing, and maybe the discourse here has been Somewhat less horrible than in other places, but It’s still not great. I have still avoided commenting on any of the threads discussing the game, as it just doesn't seem worth the vitriol - particularly since I really liked the game, and am a big fan of Abby as a character. I love this site, and have been here for years, but sometimes, joining in with a particularly lightning-rod-esque conversation just isn’t worth the hit. I love a good discussion, but when any reasoned responses are guaranteed to come mixed in with a firehose full of sewage, I lose my appetite. But to all reasonable folks who are braving the wilds of the threads, God Bless you, and thank you for your service! xx 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alayaes Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 It's not unlikely to assume that a large percentage of gamers act immature because, well, they're still children. Being baffled by immaturity in the gaming community is almost like going to high school and wondering why so many people act childish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizurke2003 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 It seems the discourse here is at least better than what I've seen in other places. I guess that's a positive even though it hasn't been perfect here either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't take away an advanced player's personal challenge but also allows others who severely struggle with games (i.e. individuals with disabilities or my 75 year old father, who's new to gaming and struggles with twin joysticks but is also a completionist) a fighting chance. No shade, just my hot take on accessibility in gaming. Respect the opinion, just can’t help but feel that trophies should be of a set difficulty for everyone. And sure these are, everyone can put on all the accessibility features and make it a super easy platinum, I just hope a drive for these needed accessibility features doesn’t lead to all trophies also having to be “accessible”. Difficulty related trophies should still be a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you should be, unless you are over 60 and haven't been using internet for long. Shitposting? You already have to be quite messed in the head and very immature to come up with those posts. Its psycho. Edited July 9, 2020 by Beyondthegrave07 Removed quote, off topic discussion 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the overreaction. It kinda reminds me of a quote from Handsome Jack: "Everyone thinks they're the hero of their own story." From a lot of people's point of view (including my own), Hitler was an evil man. It's really a matter of perspective though. To Hitler and the people who followed him, they probably thought that he was the good guy. Everyone's got a different point of view. Also, comparing Abby to Hitler in that one thread seems weird. One is a digital character that only bruised people's opinions on a beloved game franchise, and the other is a man who slaughtered millions of people to bring his distorted views of the world to fruition. Also, I think this thread has demonstrated that discourse hasn't been as civil as people think on this site. Look at how it's devolving ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juzota Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Ah, yes. I can see the maturity in this topic alone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthegrave07 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) The reason why the trophy hunting community is so "mature" about this? Spoiler You're welcome. I appreciate the positive thread, but it went downhill pretty quick with a bunch of senseless back and forth and off topic discussion so I'm locking this down. @Fr_0zt, if you want to discuss your strike, PM the mod and try to come to some sort of understanding. Let's not do it in public and derail topics. Edited July 9, 2020 by Beyondthegrave07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
