Topic: "What's Upsetting You Right Now?"

I approve of the Sparkman mix.

[Protoman Blues]

I think the TopMan mix was the best one.

So, I left a very negative comment on RushJet1's "Mega Man 3 Remade" video.  I later decided to pop back in and grab a copy to post here as part of a rant.  Then I noticed I'd gotten a reply.

The reply itself was harmless enough.  Just a basic "calm the [tornado fang] down" put politely.  But then I noticed who it was that was doing the replying.

Matt.  [tornado fang]ing.  Wilson.

Now, I'm afraid he thinks I'm a jerk because of the strong words I used when critiquing RushJet1's work.  Specifically the part where I said "it has to be said."  Because it did have to be said.  Because I didn't see one [tornado fang]ing negative word being said about the project despite the fact it's absolutely horrendous. (I know I said it was good earlier, but that was before I actually listened to more than two songs.)

Oh, if you see him again tell him Kappa Mickey sucked!

(seriously that was one of the worst show I've ever seen)

I... I liked it.  ._.

[Sakura Leic]

I liked it, though I didn't see much of it.

[Joseph Collins]

Okay.  This is totally awesome.  Matt actually replied back, a little bit ago!  And he said he understood where I was coming from in my opinions!    I thanked him for his reply (it really made my night) and admitted that I may have come across rudely while I was just trying to be straight and to the point.  I then added that really, it was all just subjective.  "Like how I like Dragonball Evolution when everyone hates it."

Happy ending for me.

I dont understand how on most forums theres more guests than users online

So.

One friend is furious and depressed over circumstances beyond their control.
Another friend just got dumped and stabbed in the back by their significant other, probably after they “got what they wanted” out of them, and has suddenly changed their user page to something entirely unrelated and rather teenage girl-ish.  But it’s all just an act — a “roleplay”, apparently.  So it’s okay.

And I can’t seem to do a damn thing to help either of them.

…

Welp, I’m going to bed.

[Quickman]

I think at this point just offering to be an ear to listen is enough.  It is up to them whether or not they want to utilize it.

[Joseph Collins]

They didn't.  I know, in my head, the proper thing to do was take off and let them be.  So I did.

If they want to come to me, they're more than welcome, but I'm not going to actively offer a hand to them anymore.  Mostly the latter friend.  If that's how she wants to cope, that's fine.  I just don't want any part of her ridiculous fantasy -- particularly since she "character" she's playing is from a series I really have no interest in.  She's such a fangirl, sometimes...
Says the guy who's obsessively "shipping" roleplaying characters on Tumblr.

The internet has some bullshit going on. Everyone has some kind of victimization/entitlement complex.

That's probably because of the fact that many people use the internet as their method of venting on their problems.

...what?

I'm talking about people who act like the internet belongs to them, and when people happen to be talking about something/enjoying something they don't like, then they get all pissy.

Like atheists and religious people.

[Sakura Leic]

You're still on that?

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

You're still on that?

What? No. I find those people everywhere.

[Sakura Leic]

Okay just making sure.  But you know that sort of thing never stops whether online or offline.

It's a lot more common online. I suppose it's all the [tornado fang]ing children.

Oh. Okay. I misunderstood.
But you're right. The internet is full of people like this. Especially since they can get away with this behavior with little to no consequence.

[Sakura Leic]

It's the Internet, it's not supposed to be a place with sophisticated and understanding people.  It may seem like it's supposed to be but it's actually a hell hole filled to the brim with irrational people, like real life.  

The only difference here is that people are more honest and open with each other so the feel that they can get away with anything.  This leads to some people acting stupid and feeling like they own the place when they don't and people feel even more defensive when they are online because they feel they have the freedom to do whatever they want. People here are still very immature because they don't think that rules or etiquette apply on the Internet, but honestly people in real life can be just as bad.  The best thing you can do is just ignore it and let them learn their own.

Someone played the "I have [disorder]" card elsewhere, so I stepped in and told them that it was a cop-out and it doesn't entitle them to jack [parasitic bomb].

Pisses me off when people do that.

I have [disorder].

[Quickman]

Just make sure you don't use it as an excuse for poor behavior.   

[Mirby]

But it makes me [action]!
