You sound fat

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

nah it was definitely moba-anons getting defensive and screeching about how ~everyone~ knows what ~moba~ means holy shit how do you not know any casual would know this as opposed to the other way around

like, i'm guessing you're a dude and that's fine, but women have to put up with this kind of second-guessing on their intelligence re: moving picture games all the time so it makes sense as to why that comment was being criticized

i'm not a dude. and people were defensive on both sides. tbh you're kind of being defensive right now by characterizing comments that were already stupid with hyperbole to make them look more stupid.

if you don't see it as being defensive, no amount of linked or quoted comments is gonna make you see it that way. you're set in your opinion.

look, I'm not trying to drag anyone here, I'm just making an observation. if everyone just chills out a little more (and yes, dude pointing out the moba thing needed to chill first) we can avoid crap like this. the point's been super lost by now, anyways.

anon who started all of this

I'm kind of ashamed of myself, to be frank. I didn't mean to start all this and I apologize for coming off as a dick.

look, i'm not saying you're "both sides are wrong" anon but i will say it's very convenient timing that you've come back to this thread when you have

the best thing to do is just walk away at this point. you were a dick, you've apologized, move on

again, you're talking generalities. give us a specific comment you see as defensive. i've not read the whole thread (because jesus what a clusterfuck) but from what i have read i've only seen defensiveness from the moba side. the worst you can say about the casuals is that they get too aggressive, but as other anon explained there's kind of a reason why people in this community would find such remarks ignorant and objectionable

i haven't been heavily involved in this thread, but i do agree with the basic assertions that (a) "moba" is a technical term not widely not outside the hardcore gaming community, and (b) moba communities are toxic sludge pits to be avoided by anyone that's not a literal dudebro caricature. you yourself even admit the initial moba dudebro "needed to chill", so is there anything you're really objecting to at this point?
