This term is so fucking stupid. If you play like shit expect to be told you are playing like shit.

If you act like an ass, be prepared to be punished for being an ass.

Telling someone they are playing like shit when they are playing like shit is being an ass? Stating facts is being an ass?

Yes. There is a good chance they know they are playing like shit. Someone constantly harping on them about it won't help.

Yes, stating facts can make you an ass. Telling someone who they are obese "you are a fat ass." Unless you are friends with them and they are okay with that kind of joking, you would be considered an ass.

Being brutally honest is about honesty, not brutality.

Telling someone they are playing bad is pointing out the obvious. It's unnecessary, which makes you an ass for doing it.

That it does, though people who follow the news won't find this revelation surprising. People are assholes.

So there is literally only one true way of stating facts and that's insulting someone?

He's saying "state facts" (with the quotes), using the term in the way the OP does. Meaning being an asshole to people.

"Stating facts" is the fucking stupid term.

Try "stating facts" about clients to their face, see if you get any business. Try "stating facts" about your classmates, see how they treat you. "State facts" about your coworkers, and act all surprised when you're sent to HR or similar. "State facts" about your teammates in physical sports and see how long you get to stay on the team.

Fact is, the shit you say to your teammates when they fuck up is stuff that you're only saying because you're on the other side of a computer screen. You're saying shit, behind the shield of anonymity, with the explicit purpose of upsetting your fellow players. That's textbook toxicity.

Sorry, not sorry for not tolerating other players wasting my time by playing like mental midgets. If that makes me toxic, cool.

I've removed the insult from this post, as you seem frustrated right now and I'd rather give you a chance to calm down a bit. Further insults at players will not be tolerated on the boards.

Look at how you are reacting to people "stating facts" about you being an ass....

HalcyonDweller8 votes

That attitude is really stupid. You know how people react to being told they are playing like shit, and you know that it usually results in more arguing and more worse plays.

You should find a better way to make them listen, especially if you know what they need to do to play better.

Taking anger out on them won't help anything, and while you will get the catharsis of telling them off, it will make you a lot more likely to lose the match.

If you want to know my tips and tricks for manipulating bad teammates I'm more than willing to share, but I'm not going to waste time typing about them if you aren't interested in learning them.

I wish I could find that graphic. But being brutally honest is more about making you feel better than actually caring about the other person.
