You gotta be able to pull out your belief systems to test their value and accuracy. All i see in what you wrote is I BELIEVE THAT SAYING KYS TO SOMEONE IS WRONG AND IF ANYONE DOES IT THEY BELONG BANNED, IN JAIL OR FINED!. If you have a high iq, what I just said should hit you like a ton of bricks and you should be thinking. "Omg what if what i think is wrong, isn't actually wrong, and what if things are much more complex and deep than i think".
"How fucked up in the head are you people? Like, I just played a game where the guy had ">KYS" as his club tag and told me to jump off a bridge in game. Did I report him? Absolutely, and I'm hoping he gets permanently banned from the game."

Are you just projecting? everyone does it, and a lot. No, really, a lot more than you could guess. People project almost nonstop, some personalities more than others, also depending on the sort of stress being placed on that personality. So, maybe it's you that's fucked up in the head. What evidence would support that? Then you get super honest with yourself and look at all the pathology in your own behavior and thoughts.

A dude with kys as a tag, tells you to jump off a bridge, is he subconsciously entertaining the concept that dying may not be a bad thing? A lot of people play around with that idea in the back of their heads without even realizing it, then it comes out in jokes, art and expression almost blatantly sometimes, depending on the personality of the person expressing. All i'm doing here is assuming the person being judged, may know something I don't. After taking that position i come up with things like, maybe he's working out the concept in his subconscious, or maybe he has worked it out and doesn't think it's a big deal. To do this you have to have accepted the shadow in your own heart, or the potential for both good and evil in every human being. Once you've done that, someone acting in a way you don't like, doesn't effect you as much and you may actually come to appreciate different people and viewpoints.

Hoping he gets perm banned from the game, what does this desire say about you? You're saying that because you think something is wrong, that the person should be excluded from participating. Again arrogantly assuming that your idea of right and wrong is absolute. At this point if I caught myself saying things like this, i'd be ashamed of myself, because i'd rather know better than to be so arrogant.
Even though it's the internet and you are completely anonymous, this should never come out of your mouth. You are literally telling someone to give the greatest gift in existance and throw it away, all because you got upset or they didn't abide by your rules. If I'm gonna be real with you, I hope in sometime in the future the government will implement a system on the internet where it detects the use of this term of any degree, and gets the person fined or put in jail. There is absolutely no reason to promote the use of suicide on the internet, ever.

Are you projecting? it's interesting how all because you don't like the personal philosophy of someone else they should be excluded not only from playing, but also their freedom should be taken away, and or their hard earned money. I would argue one of the greatest gifts in existence is freedom, freedom of thought, expression and ideas.

You want the government to implement a system to observe the population online and dish out punishments to those who deviate from the demands of 1 person or group? uhhhhhhh.... Ever read 1984 by george orwell? It really is a bit nerving to see people like you express the deeply evil and destructive worldview of the tyrannical dictatorships and genocidal government systems, and at the same time as freely expressing that evil totalitarian mindset you wish to take away other people's freedoms. I don't wanna take away your rights or freedoms because of ideas you have, even if you're a totalitarian monster. I'll fight for your right to speak your truth. So long as you don't try to force others to adhere to those ideas.
Lastly i'll lay out really quick another way to look at the kys problem.
- Some people believe that dying isn't a bad thing.
- Some people believe that people of little value to them or their ideas should kill themselves. (this includes people one doesn't like)
- Some people believe that dying isnt a bad thing but are confused at their own fear of it and therefore toy with their fear using jokes, or insults and other ways of expression to help subconsciously work out the dissonance.
If we can all accept that the above people exist, then the question becomes. Is it right to threaten them with bans, jail time and fines in order to prevent them from expression their ideas or feelings?
I think not, if you don't want to hear or read certain things, ignore them, mute them and move on. This solution, is much less drastic than banning, jailing or fining the people who offend you. I think it takes a fucked up head, to think it's okay to jail, fine or even just ban someone for saying kys, or expressing their comfort with the concept. It's not up to any of us what can and can not be said, or thought.
