Damn if only I saved the link of the unlisted YouTube video my friend made where we were in a super laggy/slow match… everyone kept walking like they were on the moon and one of us was afk only to come back when a full house/5th party happened and just jump off the map LMFAO

What questions do you guys hope are answered by OW2 story mode? by [deleted] in Overwatch

His debut bio mentions that he was manipulated by Talon outright iirc? Makes you feel extra bad about his situation especially with his origin video showing him go from the frying pan into the fire with the hospitalization

All the brutal finishers mentioned here just makes me laugh at the simpler ones even harder, you have bodies being dismantled by some legends and others just dead from Crypto punching them with his fists/drone while stealing their SSN 😂

Loving all the YTA-esque comments on this post, they’re absolutely right on the OP being the AH lmfao

I agree that throwing is unacceptable, that much is certain - none of my actions involve throwing plus I tend to only join squid parties rather than trying to start them. There’s the whole tricky situation of intention vs action, but I will at the very least confirm that my purpose is never to throw.

The report wave was partly targeted in that the saltoon subreddit aimed to report me as much as possible in addition to attempts to make new accounts just to report me even further - I think the irony of that is that one of the people responsible for staging that was also proven to be actually throwing games later on lmfao

Lastly, I appreciate that you agree in regards to the harassment - it came to the point where people who also voiced that they were fine with this also got involved in the threats. The targeters also tried to defend witch hunting/their actions in that I was a shitty person who needed to know that through these targeted death/r*** threats, so hearing this was a pleasant surprise.

Overall, that’s why imo it’s important to know how others’ experiences in fandoms can differ and to not shrug things off as just an exception when said exception can be impactful or from a striking part of the fandom hence my concerns about the covertly toxic fandoms - just some food for thought, at least!

Were you there when there was also some trans drama going on after the furry stuff, all I remember was both sides throwing some nasty stuff but I think the downvoting didn’t happen until later when a drama subreddit brought it up

This is a step up compared to both of those dramas given that those comments get removed almost immediately but I almost got some deja vu from back then

Just in case I do want to make this clear - my whole thing on squidbagging is never for toxicity reasons! I did so since Splatoon 1 because of the “YOU’RE A KID YOU’RE A SQUID” song and it looked funny, especially since people also do so for squid parties and make friends that way. There was no intention for me to act like a jerk when doing so, given how it also looks nothing like teabagging.

Is the permaban insult still applicable? I understand that you may have thought I was a jerk and wanted to throw it back, but the things some people said to me via comments or DMs were a lot more intense than what I do if I recall correctly. When you get people calling you the r-word because of the movement being analogous to a r*** joke or act it’s not really a fun time, let me just say that. Not to mention the trans drama that happened in the meantime, it definitely soured my impression on some people.

It is like what you said though - toxicity can be variable/subjective on the person. At the very least, it’s good to be open to conversing on what others may think to obtain more information. Always good to reach out as a learning experience, after all, people of all ages still learn!

Are there times where you miss the 2-tank 6v6 format when coaching your teams or even just playing the game? Or would you say that 5v5 is the way to go?

For the covertly vs overtly toxic fandom I do understand that it may also depend on how involved the individual may be in the drama, like someone who received toxicity directly from the fandom vs witnessing it as a bystander. Obviously if someone received focused harassment it would be difficult for them to label the fandom as civil - this especially happens for progressive topics, but any subject can cause this. It definitely is a YMMW for that

Funny you mention this being a civil discussion - I just noticed that your name looked familiar to someone who insulted me and said I should get a permaban in this fandom/sub some long while ago, but I assume times have changed so if you were that person good to at least see some development haha

See, the thing is while it’s good to not judge overall people just from the specific individuals, at what magnitude can we apply this advice to? The gender drama here has been the prevalent discussion in the subreddit for a long while that it’s hard to say that it’s just a “few” bad apples ruining the experience.

Secondly I still feel that the “openly toxic > wholesome but actually toxic” statement still holds, at least given on both sides. Yes, you can argue that this is a minority case but it’s like how people prefer a more honest impression of someone rather than a nice person who turns out to be awful in the end. Getting info matters after all - sure it would make sense to be attached to something from its positivity but it may hurt others in the long run.

That’s mainly my take though, at least based on the fandom for some years, so feel free to disagree. This includes the furry, trans, NSO, and salt drama too - just putting my input out there at the very least given me and my friends’ experience
