you think this is toxic? honest question here. we as a community have calmed way the fuck down in relation to toxicity and aggression since people have routinely been called out and had to deal with consequences for their actions. look at wankgate. rules have been instituted. how often do namedrops even actually happen over there anymore. people come here to try to be spammy fucks and even that's getting turned down. the ~toxicity of rp has lessened dramatically from the epic site dropping/home calling/life ruining that used to happen before. we're getting older. the amount of fucks we have to give has dropped.
i never said there wasn't anything wrong with the entitled asshole behavior, but people are people. if you think at any point you can float through life or work or even a hobby without running into a fucking tool, you're highly mistaken. none of this has gone into anything regarding namecalling until people started getting mad that there was contradictions in the idea thread. frankly, i'm surprised as fuck people are this salty over it when even recently in a lot of game idea threads, ideas have been picked apart with more vitriol and salt than 'nah, this is too eudio.'
if you want to look at today's players as whiny and entitled, you clearly haven't been here long enough to know what those words actually mean in reference to rpers. if you have, check yourself, because 'hey, i don't like this' isn't anywhere on the same level as second or kayvin or lock or jenn or any other number of genuine wankers that throw epic shitfits and chase people out of a game for 'reserve sniping' or putting an app in legitimately before their buttbuddy or whatever other bullshit is actually entitled shitbaby behavior.
like i've been saying this whole time, do what you want. op can do what they want. everyone can do what they want. people will join or they won't. but pointing out that 'hey, people likely aren't going to join this because it's kind of just like eudio' isn't entitled titfitting. this degree of defensiveness is ridiculous. i mean, have fun not making games? do what you want. there's new sex games that open frequently. they just don't take off because they're either same old, run by wankers, or badly put together. your game isn't/wasn't guaranteed to succeed just because you were going to make it, so stop with the 'look at what you did. now everyone's suffering because of you'.
you know why games are dying? because mods put work and effort into things and people hang off to see how it does before joining, hence no one joining and the game failing, or the game doesn't appeal to a wider audience and it stays tiny and closes. so the mods blame the players (and in the first scenario, they have every right to), and we go in this roundabout blame circle that gets no one anywhere.
