It is YOUR responsibility to not get offended by flamers.
It is NOT MY responsibility to protect your fragile, insecure little feelings.
Maybe one day Riot will realise this and the whole community will be better for it. Instead, Rito decides to grow a community of oversensitive wusses just for the sake of etiquette.
It is YOUR responsibility to manage your attitude and the things you say to others.
It is NOT YOUR TEAMMATES responsibility to deal with your instability.
Maybe one day you will realize this and the whole community will be better for it. Instead, you decide to push off your own frustrations on your teammates just for the sake of shifting blame.
Is this what stupid sounds like?
Ah, you seem to be mistaken. I am not offended by you, or anything you can possibly say. Being offended is stupid in general. I am annoyed by you and don't want to play games with you for an extended period of time.
You can't hurt my feelings, you don't hold that power over me. You can only get on my nerves, I won't even remember you in a couple of days.
See. You are making a mistake here.
No one is offended by you. They are annoyed. You are not some hero battling the safe space liberals.
You are a yappy dog. A little yappy dog. People are trying to play and every time they make a mistake you start yapping as loudly as you can. And no one can concentrate or play.
It's annoying. And Riot removes annoying yappy dogs.
You are given the responsibility when you sign up to play to not be a jerk to other members of the community. You don't have to go out of your way to protect peoples' feelings, but it also won't be tolerated if you go out of your way to hurt peoples' feelings.
Nope. It's your responsibility to behave with civility. If you can't do that then don't act surprised when Riot bans your accounts.
You are sort of correct that neither is your responsibility -- you do not have to protect someone's feelings, and everyone can benefit from learning to control their emotions better.
However, is it not OUR responsibility to protect you from the consequences of your actions, which have been clearly laid out by Riot. It is not OUR responsibility to cater to your inability to behave in a civilized fashion by saying that you're free to say whatever you want without consequence. It is not our responsibility to sit quietly by and listen to every form of abuse you wish to spew forth.
Whether we're offended or not is immaterial. Personally? I find most flamers kind of adorable, since I can brush it off easily and that tends to frustrate them. That still doesn't mean I want them as part of my community.
The amount of people who fall prey to your shitposts is really pathetic... lolboards filled with sunfish just waiting to bite the bait no matter how many times the same one is dropped
The biggest issue is that while you think the community would be better if everyone were less sensitive, I can imagine your ideal world being a bunch of raging turdblossoms filling up chat with death threats and suicide requests. At that point it's not a matter of me being sensitive. It's a matter of how god damn annoying it would be to see 4 ragers on my team trying to make each other feel like absolute shit. How is telling someone to kill themselves logical competitive banter? If they die, they'll be afk.... I think what you need to realize is, instead of people being too sensitive, maybe mental health issues have been on the rise such as to create a norm for that kind of annoying behavior. It's like your asking everyone to live in dumpsters with flies and maggots all over and when we ask for a cleaner living space you call us sensitive. I have my own interpretation of what sensitive is, and to me it's logical. If someone is trying to upset me because they don't want me to be happy in life, I have a right to rid myself of them. Simple.
When toxic dickheads complain about getting banned <3
Classic double standard toxic players. Playing the blame game when they themselves cannot accept their own mistakes and responsibilities. This when the community start laughing at you back instead of backing you up.
