Why is everyone so overly offended by everything ?

[Nuriyokan]

Some guy got mad at me and started cursing me out because I beat him in a game. He said I did a fatality on him after winning the set. Its mortal kombat that's what you're supposed to do. He then told me to " cope " ...........

It's like you can't do anything anymore, or say anything anymore without people feeling personally attacked. If i win in a game they get mad. If i lose in a game and they win they're mad because of how they ALMOST loss. This is just a game example but I'm sure you guys know how far it goes . I mean everything is now offensive .

" pineapple don't go on pizza "
" sugar don't go on grits or spaghetti "

People will literally argue over any and everything and I was proven this very fact via a post that had 4 million viewers on it. The post was a picture of a stick and a rock and it said " this is a picture of both a stick and a rock " .

People yelled and got offended saying its a twig / stone.

You get my point but what gives ? What happened to society ?

[Caldari Ghost]

people who are "well-adjusted" to modern western society all seem to be suffering from trauma of one sort or another. Everyone is paranoid and quick to defend their ego when it isnt even being attacked. Most people cant tell the difference between healthy self esteem and arrogance or narcissism, and cant tell the difference between wanting to play and wanting attention.

I think it boils down to most people being raised by families that forgot how to be families, aka secular families. You dont see this kind of broken behavior in christian communities. Or in areas outside of western cities.

Its like that quote "it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society" . Well western urbanites from what ive seen live in literal hell. Id feel sorry for them if they didnt try to put down everyone who doesnt think and act like them, trying to paint those who had a healthy normal upbringing as being traumatized themselves somehow

Lol i just cannot fathom initiating a argument the reward at the end of one is a headache

[Talby]

The culture of hate is now called "democracy" because liberal news media said it is since 2016, and their voters gladly complied. Welcome to 1939 Germany...

[Suffy]

That's defensive

lol i don't know how things are where you live but where i live christians are you're most hypocritical and craziest people. They pretend to be the most perfect people when it comes to representing church folk but when they get out of church its a whole new ball game. This one christian girl I know would always shout loud and proud how she always gets straight A's and is saving herself for marriage .

Then straight from the " horse's " mouth she told me about how often she would secretly sleep with random guys . Another christian guy we went to college with secretly ran his own cult and people ended up getting hurt. A ton of christian people I grew up with cheated on spouses , stole money , and anything else you can think of under the sun. I'm not religious however I know the afterlife exist . I'm just not indoctrinated via a religion... the school system is another story. we're all indoctrinated under that .

One christian guy told me i was going to hell and was going to burn if i didn't join his church and had the balls to lie and say god told him this . I just look at him and i said " I wonder what god will say about this when you see him " He then gave me a really nervous look and he walked off but that look was as if he knew he was wrong for lying about it.

Christian people in the west put on a front to be so holy but if you meet these people when the pastor isn't around you are in for a treat ! I don't judge people for their religion however you have at least two types of christians I'm aware of. 1. ) The regular person who goes to church and grew up in a religious home . 2.) The insane people who'd actually cause harm to others because they believe the book is telling them to rid the demons out of people . Like the ones who kidnapped people and tortured them as a way to chase out the sin .

so in short christian communities at least in the west are just as ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up as the rest of society .

Well, it's rather complicated... oh, you have more.

Fighting games get... emotional.

Try to imagine being me. You lose 80% of the time. In all fighting games. Can you empathize? Can you understand how horrible that feels? Can you understand what it is like to live with that level of failure day after day?

I will never understand why my opponents can do huge combos and block everything. It makes no sense to me. I press the buttons. I know all the moves. I get stomped. Every time.

Yeah, winners raging at you is the worst. It's bad enough I lost. But you want to rub it in my face? Get a life.

It's gotta be the right combo. Ya gotta have ham with that pineapple.

You have to ignore stuff like that. The person that created the thread knew it would attract trolls. They did it for that specific reason.

The trolls are the same. They are like "this person created a thread to troll. LET'S DO THIS!"

The worst type of person seeks out people they hate and makes fun of them.

hmm... another repost

yes, it took the better part of 25 years to get good. almost all of which was spent eating dirt, as described. it took close to 20 to start thinking I could actually get good, and another 5 years of obsessive daily practice to get there. then I became average.

30 years of practice and I'm still not actually any good yet.

I've dominated people; I've made them feel like nothing and like they'll never be good, because I am. I have seen lightning-fast swordsmen, and I have become one. and yet, I am not good. I'm bad, bordering on average. I don't even try to win, and when I do I am even worse at the game than I was before. I throw matches to chase a rainbow and I don't catch it. I don't even get close; it recedes further away as I run at it. nothing I do is any good, and nothing anyone else does is either. except maybe once or twice in hours of play, most of which is rote repetition of positional advantages with no thought or skill put to bear whatsoever. there's nothing to read; knowing their moves in advance is worthless. the game is dead, a pachinko machine dropping two balls into a cage. no prize comes out. you get nothing for your efforts, and children laugh at you for being so old and slow.

still, I have felt angels sing with my own hands. can you imagine such a thing, getting so far in such a journey? it can be quite rewarding, even once you feel weak and useless again.


I guess in regards to the topic, it's people's passions that make them give value to winning and losing. without passion they stop caring. the games are grey and lifeless. with it, they're lost in childish things. winning and losing. landing their taunt combo. killing them with the butt-stomp after an aesthetic 1v1 match demonstrating perfect technical control and an absolute zone of control in your territory.

maybe I just don't think those ideas are valuable anymore. they seem like barriers to 'true skill,' rather than signs of it. they don't actually get good; they just look at how they pwn and say to others the good is the result, not the journey. they will always be good. they will never play like bad noobs that got spanked in ways they don't even understand happening, let alone perceive anymore. they are perfect, Enlightened. their garden waters itself.

until they meet someone who is seemingly born and bred to be a specific counter to everything they've ever done, as if algorithmically designed to make them playing the game impossible. then they'll have to face what a noob they really are.

I feel like I’m living in a world made of cardboard. Trying my best not to break something; to break someone.

u forgot those who break themselves

[WhiteKitt]

they aren't really offended they just need more stuff to fake being something to hide the fact that they are half-animals

most people are just half-animals not humans and they try to hide that since childhood even if they don't actively know it ( how could they; they are animals )

no joke

[abcd]

most of what you do is memorize stuff. movesets. frame advantages. flow patterns. the specific responses a specific person makes. etc. like matching pairs in a card game. if you can't find the 3 of peaches, and you repeatedly cannot find it over and over, you start to feel dumb.

and if it's someone showing you that you don't know where the peaches are, you start to feel like this person is attacking your intelligence somehow.

like you're trying to beat this guy up and he keeps flashing a card and then kicks your butt. frustrating.

Then why beat yourself up? 30 years?! You think that's a reasonable amount of time to learn a game?

What does this even have to do with the topic of being offended?

You are good? You are bad? I don't understand. This is far from the OP's topic. I have no idea what you are talking about.

I guess you and I are very different. Because I can't understand any of your points.

Can I crush people so hard (in fighting games) that they send me rage-induced messages afterwards? For sure.

I can't take pride in that. I can't feel good about it.

Thank you for everything you've said. You've given me a lot to think about. Let's get back on the topic.

[Cinnamoon_dragon]

Well... I wouldn't want to deceive myself and say that I'm always right and others are just overreacting to my messages. Our brains are very subjective in things that concern personal self-esteem. However, sometimes there are clear cases when your only fault is that you simply talked to the wrong person.

[Xero_Daxter]

We should bring back name shaming. You know… give them a little incentive to try harder. Especially at work. My boss always says “Someone *beep*ed up but I can’t say any names”.
