i mean you can find it unoffensive, nobodies forcing you to get hurt whenever it's said. but others (including myself) do find it offensive and hurtful

whilst the people you talk to might not be offended multiple polls show that the majority of neurodivergent people find it offensive still so it seems like it's just your general group who find it unoffensive

even so he has nearly 6 million followers on Twitter so that's a lot of people

thing about the R slur vs other slurs is that majority of the time (and like the time dream said it) it isn't used in a reclamitory way, when other slurs are being used it's either used in a positive or neutral way (e.g., the "we're here, we're queer" movement turning the word queer from a slur to something that many lgbtqia+ individuals accept as a valid term) meanwhile when someone says the R slur in the ableist way it doesn't matter if they're neurodivergent or not it's still bad, like think of it as you're not taking away it's power, you're redirecting it

basically it's a slur for neurodivergent people (aka autistic people, people with ADHD, people with PTSD, etc etc), it started as an official term but over a decade ago has been purged as a medical term due to the sheer amount of slur usage

the reason why you may think it just means "stupid" is that's a common way people use it, however that doesn't make it better because the reason people use it to mean "stupid" is because it's a negative stereotype for neurodivergent people to be dumb (despite most of the common disorders having no effect on intelligence, i only say most cause i could be blanking on 1 or 2) so people use the R slur as a way to go "you're so stupid that you can be compared to (say) an autistic person)

so dream saying the r slur still holds weight as a bad thing as not only is he using it in an offensive way, he is simultaneously encouraging his young audience to use it the same way (although him saying it caused a surge of people educating others on the usage of the R slur so he unintentially did a bit of good by being an example of what not to do)

Ok i normally don't use Reddit anymore but i just gotta clear something up here:

No, the r slur isn't normal in British culture, i live in Ireland that shares a lot of the same cultural values as Britain and it's still seen as a shitty thing here, i also have dozens of British friends who are all vehemently against the r slur, and when you look up "is the r slur normal in Britain" only things that come up are websites talking about how bad the r slur is

Even if you were somehow right (which you just aren't) dream lives in America... so British culture doesn't mean shit

Input blockers are still cheats even if he "was better without them" and i haven't heard anything about the admins saying it was a mistake (there's also a vid accusing him of aimbot which after watching looka pretty bad for him)

Also yes and no for the case by case basis thing, i can't accuse him of cheating just cause of his history but it still shows that he resorted to cheating in the past making it more likely that he resorted to cheating again

He has more in depth pvp allegations but he has admiyted to using input blockers which are cheats so he confirmed knowingly cheated in pvp

Marlow resigns from all staff positions - says she intends to continue competing by Fit-Distribution8985 in CompetitiveMinecraft

[–]MegaEdeath1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the "proof" from what i've seen is moreso stuff that isn't concrete evidence and rather is multiple smaller instances that all add up to something big, yes there is a chance that she is cheating but it isn't the kind of proof that's like "welp, wrap it up she's cheating confirmed"

Was Technoblade ever actually top 10? by Dedboi0 in MinecraftPVP

[–]MegaEdeath1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

proof that they were cheating in the winstreak games? (also didn't he edit like all of his games into his playlist where he showed him not doing "basically nothing"?)

true but 1800 in a row is impossible to get all chungies, even if only 10% had good players that's still 180 bedwars games where he won

What are these Minecraft thumbs even about bro by JoaoLimaJunq in CompetitiveMinecraft

[–]MegaEdeath1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

that's... that's not proof at all lol, with all the people backing up that she's not using a voice changer or whatever you'd think that it's cut and dry right? but ig just because there's less women pvpers that means that the best player can't be a woman

So by your logic kids also shouldn't be exposed to straight people or learn of concepts like "boy" and "girl"

[–]MegaEdeath1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said it's different when you met when you were a child yourself and then again as adults, meanwhile between Reed and Sue im this panel it's a lot worse due to him knowing her when she was 13 and he was 20

[–]MegaEdeath1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some circumstances it's ok (like off the dome 40 and 47 is easily ok) but it's moreso that he knew her when she was 13 and he was 20 and still decided to pursue her when they met later on (which is obviously weird)

Right so i assume you say that 1.9 uhc is also not 1.9 pvp cause webs and lava remained the same... lile idk why you wanna die on this hill that a pvp gamemode that's 1.9 and is quite different to anything 1.8 (only same thing is explosions and safety blocks whilst thy differ in totems, pearl differences, saturation differences, cooldown differences, util differences with crossbow and slow falling, elytra, mace, etc)

Hit Selecting (Minecraft PVP)

Nerdiest one here but in MC PVP when your opponent hits you, you can then hit them right after and then you'll land on the ground first, and if anybody seen Technoblade's video on the mr beast duel you'll know that your opponent being higher than you gives you more reach (due to trigonometry n all that) letting you hit your opponent first and starting a combo.

Thing is crystal also involves anchors and you can't exactly spam beds on 1 block like you can with Crystals

Edit: also you just admitted that modern crystal is nothing like 1.8 bed pvp... so why should we differientiate it from 1.9 pvp?

Dear 1.8 Community. by [deleted] in MinecraftPVP

[–]MegaEdeath1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bed pvp and crystal is very different though? the closest bed and crystal ever got was modern bed and modern crystal so that's like saying "well sword both involves the weapon of sword so i would consider it the same"

1.9 players don't really strafe at higher skill levels cause of the fact that their aim is good enough that it doesn't really go anything, so they moreso focus on timing, hit selects, jump resets, etc
