What I mean is that I have had people take me seriously when IMO I'm clearly joking. -Get sat on -Ya lil shit -Smd
Even though I'm just kidding, how easy is it to cross the line? I don't ever say anything personal/offensive unless it's very obviously a joke with a :p face or some sht, I'm legit not a smack talker so what would you think if I just PWN'd you in lane and said "get sat on ya lil shit"
Nothing, but both offend the weak society equally.
The thing about the internet is that other people have no clue where you're coming from with your words. If you think there's a good chance someone will take it the wrong way, just don't say it.
As I get older, I find that it's best to just not say anything.
when IMO
Which they don't know of.
Well, talking smack I find is just mindlessly saying anything like a taunt, often without care for grammar, much like your examples. So I can understand why your buddies feel that way, especially since you were using phrases that are meant to offend people.
honestly i'll talk smack about their champ and how they played but generally avoid any attacks.
I mean, the rare comment like any of the three you said won't get you punished. Commonly the difference between smack talk (which is permitted) and flaming/harassment is the frequency of the comments. If you're constantly calling people a little shit, or telling them to get shat on, then it's harassment.
Think of it this way: If someone says that it really offends them, you should probably stop.
Example: I've lost count on how many times I've been called autistic on my climb to 30. I do have a young family member who is autistic and also gets picked on a bit because of that, so when someone uses autism as an insult, it's a very personal insult to me. I've told people to stop it multiple times, and they continue, except they're even worse because they know it incited a response from me. That's when it becomes verbal abuse and harassment.
There's joking, and then there's being a jerk. I was once that kind of person, and after growing up and experiencing life a while, I learned that if I didn't have anything nice to say, I probably shouldn't say it. It's that old adage that kids were told in preschool-kindergarten. I personally didn't learn that words do influence others' decisions and was a complete jackass and a douchebag towards everyone until I went to college and learned that.
