The fact that you interpret what he’s doing as bragging is why it’s so easy to assume the critique is rooted in jealousy.

All the guy did in that letter is mention that he was well off and ask when, or IF it was even appropriate to bring up while dating.

I’m not saying his approach is right, but I’m not going to respond to his letter with a ton of jealous vitriol just because he can afford steak and electricity at the same time.

Seriously.

It is at 23. The girls he’s after have been dating guys who probably have to budget a meal at Taco Bell.

He’s not being as nice as he could be, but he’s right. The girl in the first letter is just dumb as shit on multiple levels.

LOL!

Being intentionally antagonistic towards people who don’t agree with you or what you’re doing won’t change anything. You become the other extreme to their stupidity, while simultaneously providing them with more fodder, but who cares.

The “fat shaming” issue is an interesting one.

Being anti-SJW doesn’t mean you’re alt right. Believe it or not people of a very wide variety of belief systems hate you morons.

“If they’re already numerous (and if we’re talking significantly more than 5 people in a single comment section we’re talking about a non negligible minority here) then you change your tune completely”

For the dummies who can’t read between the lines, this doesn’t impact the games that “gamers” generally care about. This is just money likely ear-marked to support creation of games that provide very specific public services.

No, it is. Not specifically 5 people, obviously, that was just an illustration device, but they’re absolutely buckling to a VAST minority opinion.

Altering the way the product works is against the ToS, and they likely need to use mined proprietary assets to design functional hacks. Doing this on a large scale that affects Blizzard’s paying customers in a negative way costs Blizzard money, so they can legally seek damages.

It’s actually cheaper and more efficient to just buckle when you consider the risk.

You missed the point... You don’t get the entire community outraged; it’s just 5 people who post so frequently that it’s mainly their 5 opinions representing the community in a visible way. It’s easy for a handful of people to create the illusion that they represent everyone.

Power is about sounding like you’re the majority, not actually being the majority.

The idea is to just attack everyone who says something they don’t like, because they’re angry little snowflakes who never truly grasped the idea that the world doesn’t revolve around them.

Handling criticism by insulting the critic is a very “comedy” thing to do.

Are you saying that only a white man could have the emotional maturity to not lose his shit over the TAMEST JOKE ever told?
