The mods need to put a stop to passive agressive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[Amaterasu]

Too many people are too comfortable in the knowledge that they can be incedibly passive aggressive as long as they aren't directly targeting someone.

And yes, I realize this would mean that the mods would crack down on me. I don't care, so long as punishments were handed out equally meaning there aren't people who get reported and away with it. I'd welcome it.

But passive aggression is just the tool of someone who wants to be openly aggressive, but for whatever reason, can't and so they wrap it up in faux politeness and/or plausible deniability. And just because someone isn't explictly being an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ doesn't mean they aren't being an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Steam should really put a stop to the rampant passive aggression.

Nice awards.

I haven't given any in this thread.

So, again, what did I lie about?

Oh I see, you're the type of liar that doubles down on the lie. I'm talking specifically about the time someone gave you a jester explicitly insulting you, asked if jesters could be used to insult, and you gaslit yourself because you couldn't bare the indignity of saying that they were right and went off pretending like it never happened.

So you're admitting to giving jesters with the intent to insult? But somehow I am the liar because I didn't notice the jester(I turned off notifications about awards) and don't see them as an insult?

Weird.

The problem with the jester is that you guys seem to be resigned to the idea you can't do anything about being blatantly insulted so you engaged in total denial that you have been and shrug off the insult as 'free points' in a form of copium, tbh.

feel free to act like a user and not a systematic instigator that aligns with the company and not the user base.

nobody on the steam forums should really be in any type of favor for steam, but more in favor of the users base and what users seek.

example free games, larger discounts, better support, less passive aggressive systematic abuse.

its pretty obvious to understand that anyone supporting a broken system is either incompetent or working with the system to cover up its broken process and scheming.

i don't consider people incompetent its rude, so rather the idea they are working with the broken system comes to mind.

As in giving Jesters while claiming they are an insult.

Hold up. You can turn off notifications about awards?

He's probably meaning the 31 jesters you have given, for some reasons.

It's even more convoluted than that.

Somehow I am a liar because I said that the jester is just an award after someone(guess who) gave one of my comments one as an attempt to insult me.

So even though I wasn't insulted and I still see it as an award, I'm a liar because of the intent of the person who gave the award.

You really don't have to engage every single bad actor on this forum. Just a reminder that none of them are Valve employees. If he is trying to say nonsense to provoke you to derail the thread, that is probably proof your original topic was on the nose and you should just ignore and make more posts about the original topic.

I'd get banned for naming and shaming, but passive aggression is a problem all around. Yes, even I am guilty of it

Everyone gets banned for naming and shaming therefore you are not alone.

Never said anyone else wouldn't.

Steam recently got a class action lawsuit that was pretty funny. Antitrust laws, so yeah, they aren't angels.

Act like a user? As in using multiple alts to post while not being an actual customer.

This only makes sense IF you see the award as an insult. I see it as free points. The ones who see it like an insult (You) and give them away like candies seem to think that other people need to feel insulted. Otherwise, what is the point? The whole "ha you're mad"...

Guess what? People can thank you for free points. It doesn't make them upset.

How do you "attempt" to insult someone, what the hell is that world you're living in? There's no attempt, you either were insulted or you weren't, there's literally no attempting when it comes to an insult. If you're going to keep this up and talk down to me about dishonesty, you really are a funny man.

I had deleted that post because I was wrong, apparently... I didn't want to leave a post that was obviously wrong in nature. He went off to attack the jesters you had received, not given. It's even weirder from that perspective. But yes, he throws quite wild accusations.

Odd comment since you tell other posters what is or is not in the Discussion Rules and Guidelines plus Online Conduct.
