OOC Discussion

[QUOTE="Suzuki Mine]
Ehh, that kinda stuff I can understand, but I've also read the generalizing of a community based on personal experiences in MOBA communities, and while that's cool and all, some of the strong wording used kiiinda makes me feel like I might get judged.
Now, when it comes to the examination of what makes a hero, as well as the actions of individuals who are renown for their humanitarian deeds is something I'm totes fine with~

[/QUOTE]
You said it right, It's a community. Which means it' s a certain mentality, shared by a bunch of other people, that most likely, is stuck at our own culture somewhere and takes form at the aggressive and strong behaviors of said game communities.


It's not a single individual that started it, and if it was, most certainly it wasn't you so, I don't see a point in judging one person for the doing of many.


I may be generalizing but, like in all communities fandoms and such, we have a variate types of people inside the package. Hell, even My Little Pony that is supposed to teach friendship and acceptance has assholes!!


I don't have anything against LoL players or other MOBA players and we can all still be friends, right? :D


Nothing to worry from me~


I'm so philosophical today OMG

@CloudyBlueDay Shout out for good role playing! I know there is a button for that, but that was perfect, from my perspective, and they don't have a button for that. I have been teaching for just over two decades, and I feel like I know that girl. Well done.
Now my challenge is to be Aaron and not me. I am h-h-h-hyuuuugely extroverted, and I have a way of meeting that attack, but Aaron is not me, and he needs to meet it as an introvert. I don't know what that feels like though, only what it looks like from outside. I am open to tips if there are any intros in the house. Got some good tips from @Bag o Fruit


For now, I am going by how a black hole responds to attacks: it doesn't, it just absorbs them! :D


(mind you, if it absorbs enough material to form an accretion disk, watch out! Deathstar style x ray beams is just the start...)

Oh my! Thank you so much! What a compliment =D Alexis, is in fact, the opposite of me IRL, haha. I am definetly almost the teacher's pet. But I'm also homeschooled, so uh.. take that as you will. But I also loved your response(s) -- I love Aaron's analysis's of everything. If he told Alexis what he'd thought of her at first glance it would leave her so stunned she wouldn't be able to talk. Which is rare.


also i had like 70 notifs from this when i woke up THANKS GUYS screw you

You're silly~
 
@Giyari Great first post! Really nice contrast with Alexis. Confession time, I had to noodle around on google a bit to get my philosophers names straightened out. Kant did think more or less just what you said, boiled down to a comic book sound bite, Rousseau was one of his influences, and believed that people were born good but corrupted by the world, which is more or less exactly what Aaron sees in Alexis.


I have said it before, but let me say it again, I am really really pleased to be part of this RP. Such talent and enthusiasm!


Or as @Swoob might say: "Fuck, you guys!"
 
Well, to be fair, also questions of high 'comic book' philosophy, such as what makes heroes heroes and villains villains. :D
 
@Gus I honestly couldn't even have told you if that was Kant or not, haha! I was just going with like, Heroes help those in need, they give their time and strength to others so that they can live in safety and security. Villains are selfish and don't think about others, so they just do what they want to benefit themselves!


Of course, this begs the question of freedom fighters and civil war... who's a hero? Does it depends on what side's being oppressed? Or is it just perspective?


And hell yeah! this RP group should be pretty solid :D

Ah, I totes meant to make a comment on this subject!


As a character of mine has said on a couple of occasions in the past: "We aren't 'eroes 'cause we think 'r say we are. 'Eroes 're born in th' eyes o' another."

YES! that was in my head too, when I wrote the original question: what is the difference between a freedom fighter and a terrorist? Largely perspective.


Edit: of course attacking civilian targets is often brought up as a key difference, but usually with the intrinsic hypocrisy of assuming that all civilian casualties by the 'good side' are just 'collateral damage' Which is why I love that this class exists for supers, and that it IMMEDIATELY got super philosophical.

And perspectives are so much fun to debate.
 
@Gus 'helping a person with a handicap'? You mean, 'disabling an alternately-abled person'. Shame on you!

Except that I am not sure what would happen, my inner 'puck' hovered my mouse over the 'report' button on your post for being insensitive to my intense insensitivity. I resisted. I want credit for resisting the urge. :D
 
Also it isn't ok to say terrorist anymore. The proper term is 'negative social stability enhancement technician.'
