TwoDee Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 It is perhaps the nature of the era and place of the internet that I came up in (to wit: Newgrounds, SomethingAwful, 4Chan, circa the early aughts) that I don't often make use of ignore functions, because the level of overt and visceral filth spewed by contemporary internet posters is fairly milquetoast compared to my own jaded baseline. I tend to take a very 'Thunderspy' attitude that there is no perfect means to absolve oneself of the responsibility of taking an active role in one's own self-care, which can include avoiding distressing interactions on the internet. Tragically, we cannot reasonably expect to never, ever have to deal with the malignant fuckwits who make up a not-insubstantial portion of the human species, especially not on cesspools like "General" chat channels and "Official Forums," and so good netiquette demands both a reasonably thick skin and a good gauge for when there's nothing to be gained from engagement. Aspirationally, would it be good to not be confronted with a Boschian hellscape of rhetorical vomit when entering any wide-audience internet forum? Certainly. But the Moderators here are doing about as well as we should expect volunteer tone police to do when confronted with the slavering tide of primal human Id that is opinions on the internet. That is to say, I highly endorse the use of proactive tools like the ignore function, despite making very little use of them. Unlike others in this thread, I will not intimate that maybe people on the internet will change their minds and become better so you should give them a chance. Those are not Vegas odds. If they were improving and growing as a person, they probably would be outside doing something worldly rather than getting in circular fights on an internet forum about an old MMO.

I think this sums it up nicely. I resonate with the highlighted portion. It's why I stopped being so well, argumentative. It's not benefiting me, the other individual, or well any others caught up in the argument. I wanted to pass along this tool so that others can maximize enjoyment of visiting these forums, cutting out the arguments and whatnot, and once they're done still have ample energy to focus on real world matters, or the actual game if they so choose. 1 Aspiring show writer through AE arcs and then eventually a script 😛 AE Arcs: Odd Stories-Arc ID: 57289| An anthology series focusing on some of your crazier stories that you'd save for either a drunken night at Pocket D or a mindwipe from your personal psychic.|The Pariahs: Magus Gray-Arc ID: 58682| Magus Gray enlists your help in getting to the bottom of who was behind the murder of the Winter Court.|

He's going to find out just how many players are displeased about this, and blocking is going to become a full-time job. I have no sympathy for a company that treats a voice actor like a fast food worker. Especially when that company is based in a country where voice acting is a highly-respected profession.

Pay and respect for workers in the industry in Japan, just like the manga mills, is pretty low, --especially-- if you're a woman.
Sanguinesun Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 2 minutes ago, Krimson said: The top 10 are pulling more than a million per year, including Kana Hanazawa. I'm speaking more of Kamiya's personal disdain of anything not Japanese. As I noted before, he does have an almost Japanese-Imperial-Flag-Waving-Black-Bus(if you're aware of that culture) dislike for non Japanese. Also this might be an insightful Hanazawa interview for you related to some of the practices of things in Japan.

Snarky Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 The only Japanese people I ever socialized with were at Dojos, and it was pretty casual while being strangely formal. The exception was a pal I had in my late teens. We hung out for almost two years together. He was a trouble maker from a good family....so they shipped him to America. We drank beer and did some street racing, and various strange substances as we found them. We were even stupid enough to drive to Compton to score weed. More than once. Basically I know almost nothing about the japanese culture. I asked him to teach me Japanese (we were in the same damn martial arts class) and he flatly refused. I believe what we might be seeing is pure greed disguised as "brand X nationalism" I think there is a lot of that in the world. When you are being a truly greedy shit a great way to distract people is wave a flag around.

There are of course many many JP folks who are not but many also dont realize how xenophobic they are. Edited October 18, 2022 by Sanguinesun 1
