Just a strange, uneasy feeling
Aug. 31st, 2012 05:20 pmI have two days of the seiyuu meme that I have to do, but I'm blogging about something else.
I define "rant" as criticism with extreme emotion. I'm not that angry today though, but I'm just ....bloated?
I'm surprised that it's Friday; nothing happened last night, but I felt like something needed to get out of my system.
I guess it started on Plurk where I was introducing myself to those who recently added me to their friend list. As I did, my roleplaying game history crossed my mind. When you're young, you can develop faster, but you don't have much to stand on. Not much knowledge and comprehension. Online, I started off in D&D; years later, I entered text-based play-by-post games. The majority of my RPing was online; but, I enjoyed writing before that.
And it was just a terrible experience. The beginnings were terrible; chatroom was terrible.

All of this was inspired by some uneasy thought I had last night. We should prevent "psychological scars". Why do you think people grow up as jerks because they learn that from others. They end up unforgiving, and assume that payback and showing off your chest is better than anything.
I really have a trigger for pompousness. For arrogance. If I want to thank those guys from the online RP games for something, that is to learn not behave the same way.
But this isn't restricted to just "gaming", but communities as a whole. Maybe that's why I was bothered last night because I received too many online abuse. Fighting for my defense, the result doesn't end up in my favor.
Now I believe that I can't debate or think out of the box, that I can't express my thoughts safely, that my words are too confusing, that I have little logic, and that I can't fix any of it.
Or maybe I just hate to lose, and being told that I'm wrong, virtually all the time.
When I say the words "maybe" and "but" too much, it shows a lot of uncertainty.
What is right and wrong?
