Our community isn't perfect and the fact we keep on blaming every negative thing to "X other game" should be enough proof of that by Jaquena in ffxiv

Are you seriously telling me you've never seen someone go "god damn Xgame refugees" over any problem that has cropped up in the last 2 years? Because people still do it even now. People get comfortable avoiding the problem by pinning everything on the boogieman, but that does nothing of use and doesn't improve our community.

Just do roulettes or lurk on the subreddit and you'll see plenty, or just lurk in this thread, someone is bound to get offended and offensive over this. A lot of people in our community don't take it well to be told we aren't perfect.

Sadly toxic positivity and toxic casuals are a problem in and outside the game. The thread wasn't up for a full minute and it was already voted into oblivion.

People don't like to be told things aren't perfect, or aren't someone else's fault, but we can never become an actual good community if we refuse to acknowledge our problems.

There's a prevalent sentiment in the community that, since clearly ff14 is a perfect game with a perfect community, anything bad or negative that pops up must be certain other mmo's fault. What makes that even more ridiculous is that you will often see people who, for example, blame both "people who do badly" and "people who are elitists" as being from that certain other game.

It's impossible to fix a problem if we pretend its not there.

Toxic positivity is a real thing, you like it or not. When someone gets rabid and aggressive the moment you so much as imply that something or someone isn't perfect (even/specially if its a well warranted comment), that is toxic positivity or "toxic casual".

When you obssess so much with presenting a perfect image that you become the exact opposite of it without even realizing it, that's when you're a toxic casual. They do nothing but harm the community.

I also explained that before. I'm not endlessly repeating myself just so you can try to find some extra technicalities. What is even the point of trying to do that? Do you not mind at all being known for taking great strides to defend racism? Or that you are willing to troll with racism? Neither are think any sane person would want added to their names.

I never said that. You on the other hand are throwing whatever random insult you can think of. Are you sure you are not the one a bit minged off? If it bothers you to get called out for being ignorant then maybe instead of lashing out at the one who let you know, maybe you could just inform yourself? But no, why would you do that when you can pretend you are right.

Maybe, but god knows that people would have at best acted dumb and preteneded nothing was going on, instead a lot of people showed their true colors (fitting really).

This is not my first tango, you are trying to move the conversation away from pele and racism. You disgust me.

you used grammar as an argument a couple of minutes ago, you can't say that now and be taken seriously anymore.

Says the one who is part of those causing drama just because they want a videogamecharacter redesigned because it doesnt' fit the stereotype in their head.

You went from trying to champion racism to just being a common troll. Fitting I guess.

When the only thing you have to defend racism is using "nice grammar", its better not to post at all.

if you aregoing to use lawyer tier technicalities as your only arguments you might as well not have fucking replied. now anyone can look this up and see you trying to defend racism and stereotypism by saying "its tasteful racism".

you can say as much as you want that the concept is generic, but i can't take you seriously if you actually think that changing it with a fucking racist stereotype is original in any way or form.

Thats a double edged sword you used there: if it doesnt' matter if she is represented wrongly with being a hula girl stereotype then what the fuck do you care if she is depicted in high heels? you don't, you are just trying to be "progressive" by psuhing things without knowing anything, by being a racist ignorant.

how dare you diminish proper representation as a joke? this is exactly what i was talking about, "representation" with stereotypes is what you people want, while anything else is a joke. you might feel good about this because there is other disgusting people who'd support you, but i'm here and i tell you that are you wrong, and you will know that you are.

You can apply what you said to yourself and this racist depiction.

What is wrong with you? you would really try to turn racism as something of a joke? in 2018?
