CloseI don't care. a lot of you act utterly ridiculous about this subject and I'd like to make this known while I have the opportunity.
e: like. you act like you're moving on now, but if this is just gonna happen again in three weeks then what's the point? I need to know you're actually letting go.

We're all utterly ridiculous. This thread is like a rejected Monty Python bit with no audience. We just throw pies at each other, yell spam and call it a day.
It's home.

The thing about humanity is we don't just let things go. We let things go when those things let us go. The only time an inanimate thing lets us go is when we die. You can beat around the bush about progression and such, but some things are going to stick forever.

to a lot of people it ain't anymore, because behaviour like that made them leave
Just earlier tonight, I was thinking about leaving (having a lot to do with game design). Nobody would've missed me because I'm such an outrageous shitstain on this society, but I was actually thinking about calling it a day. Then I decided not to.
If people leave because this place is bigoted, that's something we can address. If people are leaving because the "What are you thinking about right now?" thread is the most popular hot spot this side of Mercury, the only course of action is to shut down this whole subforum and demand that everyone adhere strictly to actual discussion. In the grand scheme of things, do you really want for that to happen? Because what that would result in is people starting hundreds of directionless threads whenever they have even the slightest inclination to start up a discussion about what they did that day.
Seek help, Cor. And I'm not saying that in a funny or diminishing way, I mean that seriously, you need to work out the issues within yourself.

uh, me heartie, I'm talking specifically about the extremely toxic behaviour that was exhibited around Pom, and which obviously persists to this day.
not some imaginary grudge against this thread that you made up.

I was talking about the reasons behind someone believing that a game isn't good, which is a different issue.
it's been three years and the dev has moved on to things which this community will never see
the time to speak in fake-objective terms about the quality of the game has passed
it's time to let go

I find that insulting. Don't speak to me in this manner. My family has a long history of mental illness and I feel you're dishonoring that with this flippant response.

What are we going to do? It's like gun control, it's already in the hands of the people and it can't be taken back now. Pom Gets Wi-Fi was created, Pewdiepie played it, it accumulated buzz and over one hundred thousand downloads and people feel a certain way about that. The only way to stop that is to thought police everyone or wipe away one of the things causing people to feel badly about the matter. Pom has the right to exist and people have a right to feel however they want about stuff. It's just resulted in a toxic spat for this community, and now we're going in circles.

yeah I'm gonna say that implying someone is mentally ill because they're saying poorly-considered things on the internet is maybe not great
idk if that was exactly your intention but like, that's the subtext and the origin of the phrase you're using so it might be a good time to break the habit

I feel as if people telling others to seek help in a supposed non malicious way is just like religious people telling non believers that they'll pray for them, there's semblance of good intentions with an unpleasant undertone to it.

Yes, this. You can claim to "speak in love", but that doesn't dismiss the hurtful things you say.
I'm not implying anyone is mentally ill, and if the phrase seemed like it, than yeah, I apologize.
But implying that you must be mentally ill to get some sort of help (whether it's through another person or self help and reflection) through shit that you're struggling with is equally insulting and sort of patronizing.
If someone has an actual mental illness that's causing them to lash out, then yes, they should also seek help if they haven't already.

Please don't turn this on me because you made a misstep with your words. When you've got a history of people talking to you a certain way, some things stick out and you've only got your experiences to use as a lens with which to decipher what they're meaning to say. This is one of those moments. I took what you had to say as an implication that I'm mentally ill and unfit for discussion.

That's not what I'm doing. In fact, I'll say it again. Seek help. You're acting like a total tool, and if that's the result of mental illness, then yeah, that brings extra context to the situation (which you should seek help for if you haven't), and if you don't have a mental illness, but you're a grown ass adult acting like a dick on the internet with a sound mind, then yes, you should still look for some kind of help to get through that.

I choose to do you a service by not making accusations or insults based on your person. I think I should expect the same. But let's stop this before this becomes a discussion on erasure, because that's a whole bucket of worms I don't feel needs to be opened.
Let's go back to talking about pigeons or whatever.

ubon, would you interject? I'm not feeling welcome right now. I'm honestly shaking and I feel like I should step away for a bit.
