I get frustrated watching someone be bad at platformer games I've played, but on the other hand, I haven't played Cuphead so for all I know the controls could just feel like dogshit and that guy just couldn't make the moves work for him. It did escalate from "haha look at this guy failing at platforming" to "I want to actually murder this guy" really quickly though. Also related TB of course went on an Old Man Yelling At Cloud rant about it which somehow relates to the left calling the right nazis??

He's acting SO surprised about all of this. "What? I posted video of an un-released game being played badly and people are upset? HUUUUH?" Like if you're a "games journalist" maybe pay attention to things that happen in games journalism??

This guy wrote a 500 word diatribe on "youtube comments were mean to me" Like grow the hell up, dude. Of course they were! Its loving youtube! Was this guy born yesterday? Its 2017! Who still reads youtube comments! This guys is just making himself out as a victim in any way possible to cover his shame. "Waaaah; the internet was so mean!" If youtube comments ruin your day, you really shouldn't have a job involved in the internet. Or anything public.

Endorph posted:why are you stanning for people that sent racist death threats to a guy for being bad at a video game Hey if you actually read the article 'death threats' were never even mentioned. Its just a guy who posted a bad youtube video and overreacted that people called him bad at videogames. Grow up. There's one tweet saying "i'm gonna smash you in the face" and goons say that poo poo all the time. Zero death threats mentioned in the entire article. You made that poo poo up jabroni.

we live in a society that is increasingly connected by the internet and is increasingly linking the internet to real life. the internet isn't some fake dimension where nothing happens anymore, it is real life. presidential elections, wars, the decisions of high-ranking government officials, murder, are all influenced and in some cases even caused by things that happen on the internet. most people use their real name and real photograph to represent themselves on the internet. there are a ton of jobs that require directly engaging with the internet, including that guy's. you can't just 'walk away' from twitter death threats when part of your job description is being active on the internet.Zaphod42 posted:Hey if you actually read the article 'death threats' were never even mentioned. quote:I should kill myself.

idk... i'm a hermit even online so i barely watch the content producers i actually do like/know, but part of me feels as if... why get so worked up about dumb internet people whose actions aren't affecting your livelihoods? they don't know you exist, and you sure as hell don't know them in person. what have they done to slight you personally? yeah, quote his screed about having an iq of 256 or whatever 'cause it's funny, but beyond that, who gives a poo poo? some people get so worked up you'd think angry internet man broke into their house, kidnapped their dog, and made a video about that in the end my opinion of internet celebrities and all they do is, ultimately,

No poo poo, but the internet is also full of trolls and just because somebody said something mean to you on twitter doesn't mean you need to call the FBI. The vast majority of the time it isn't even being posted in earnest, its just trolling. You can ignore people giving you poo poo on twitter, and you have to. Nobody responds to every angry post on twitter, or youtube. There's no time. So you choose to engage with a few and ignore the rest, which is just silly. I never said death threats were cool, stop putting words in my mouth. That's total bullshit. I'm absolutely against violence. If you get serious credible death threats then you have to contact the police. But you can criticize the video or the journalist without making death threats and that is totally fair to do. If you post a video on youtube expect people to tell you that you're awful. Expect it. If his article was "I got some death threats and that's not cool" then yeah we agree. But it goes way past that.

even if you ignore the dumb threats you get on twitter, getting hundreds of messages about how you're worthless/should kill yourself mixed in with some racism is not nice. it is bad. it makes you feel bad. no matter how you try to say 'laugh it off' or 'ignore it,' you still have to acknowledge the fact that you are getting hundreds of those messages, which is bad. and you say 'call the cops' like the cops actually do anything about anything like this no matter how bad it gets. what is even your point here? 'everyone should be getting death threats?' 'being yelled at on the internet for literally nothing is extremely cool?' how does it go 'way past that?' dude just regrets giving the gamergate types more ammo to feed off of that'll probably be funneled into ruining some woman's life.

I forget which video game site had it, but it was pretty sobering to look at their "Guide to Video Game Twitter" from 2010 and comparing it to one from this year. Back then it was all "Here are some fun accounts to follow with funny jokes  " and now half of it is devoted to self-defense in dealing with trolls, harassment, doxxing, and maintaining psychological stability
