On the subject of Toxicity/Community Check-in (TWG)

With all due respect YoshL, you are prime example number 1 of this mindset. Your toxicity before was... yikes.
Now? Very pleasant, would play with again, and it's this exact mindset that I think contributed to that for you.

Yeah no offense taken, I recognize where I was and the kind of player/playstyle that defined me back then. I'm saying what i'm saying from that lens, from that kind of post-shift towards just trying to be a more empathetic/compassionate human being in more things that I do. As a result, tbh I haven't really had the want to play TWG because of still being somewhat locked into feeling like i can't get my point across unless some sort of hyperbole sticks into the posts haha

honestly in the end, none of us are dumb in this twg community. be considerate, use common sense, apply nuance to your reasoning instead of overgeneralizing.

Re: On the subject of Toxicity/Community Check-in (TWG)

This argument holds no water tbh because Subaru and I have interacted a lot outside of TWG, so he would know my tone and my sense of humor by now if you're pushing a point of me bullying a newer player.

i don't think you're bullying him-- think everyone here loves subaru too much for that lol-- but from post game i got a sense that even he wants to take a break

Can we just make this TWG 198: Toxic Or Not?

You're that type of guy though, who is genuine and doesn't throw jabs. Not everyone has that personality. Some people express themselves differently, more forcefully, with more "jabs" than you would throw. Some people have that fiery personality type. and that's not wrong it's just different

I mean, I feel like I can be pretty sassy at times, but I do try to not go too overboard. The one time I did was the most recent Turbo I played where I exploded on FFA and had to simmer for several hours afterwards due to how heated I was.
I will personally say I went overboard in that moment, but that's just me.

And I'm not saying that fiery personalities aren't good, but it's like that post Charu made. You can get the same point across without having to resort to personal jabs.

Re: On the subject of Toxicity/Community Check-in (TWG)

i think we know shadow's intent but it's still much, at least in my opinion. not even everyone here thinks it's too much though so you don't gotta bash everyone like that

but most of the posts were directed at subaru who first of all is newer and second is also younger than most of us

This argument holds no water tbh because Subaru and I have interacted a lot outside of TWG, so he would know my tone and my sense of humor by now if you're pushing a point of me bullying a newer player.

Yea

How hard is it to actually be like, somewhat genuine and just -say- things without the need to throw a ton of swearing or personal jabs into it. You may not think we need to, but maybe it's something bigger than that.

the real pity is that you're saying stuff like this outside of a twg thread.

you may still be living in the internet age of toxicity and cynicism being king, but there's something nice about being able to show people respect and kindness.

I think after collecting my thoughts, the clearest thing that I can say is - why does your TWG play and identity need to be based off of insulting and offending people, in a game of problem solving

You're fucking kidding right?

Is everyone here five? Two? How old is everyone? Maybe fresh out?

That's what it feels like.

How can no one read those posts and understand the amount of intentionally blowing it out of proportion for effect those posts are? It's not toxic, it's hyperbole.

I thought reading between the lines was a game mechanic, apparently everyone here is shockingly shit at it.

An actual pity imho.

You know what his tone is like.
I know what his tone is like.
Raeko, roundbox, sunfan, etc. They all know what his tone is like.

Now what about those who don't. Those who are newer to the game, or to the community. Are they going to see his posts and think, "hmm, I bet you he's saying this with a chuckle, a smile, and with a slight sense of sarcasm."
Probably not. And, whether you like it or not, that's what's going to keep this community alive.

Serious talk. How hard is it to actually be like, somewhat genuine and just -say- things without the need to throw a ton of swearing or personal jabs into it. You may not think we need to, but maybe it's something bigger than that.

Re: On the subject of Toxicity/Community Check-in (TWG)

adam requested replacement, I did not force replace him, just for the record

Fair enough. Wasn't meaning to misrepresent anything in my post.
He was still agreed upon as being too much by the community.

I think that lewdy's posts there, even though they're obviously not seriously meant, would violate what I would want to move forward with
I know the intent behind words matters as well, but that can't undermine the impact of the typed words themselves

Can you tell us what you mean by "move forward with"? It's still a bit vague.
