Nikki Seven / LBR vs Reddit

[Kaslo]

Damned proud of that one. After a week (progression week, we had made it to A3S) of receiving nothing but abusive treatment from cancer girl, I decided enough was enough. I spoke to our raid leader, vented my grievances, and bit my tongue the entire time as not to spoil it for the group. At this point, I was set on leaving the group and was willing to take literally ANYTHING rather than continue on with that fucking cunt. So I post a recruitment thread, and who responds? Raid leader and Mrs. Cancer Cunt. I was cordial with Mr. Raid leader, informing him who I was, and it was left at that.

But no, not for Mrs. Cunt, she would get the full brunt of the pent up rage I had for her, in what you see above. This was the culmination of everything I didn't say, which others in the group DID say to her. So I crafted a fitting response, butts were naturally hurt, and she even tried to get me booted from my new raid team and FC (I'm still with that FC on my alt on Leviathan), and it is my understanding both raid group and FC told her to promptly fuck off. RYLZ had itself a bad reputation for mistreating members, or so I've heard. I can only speak for myself and my own experiences. What unfolded then was the raid/fc leader of Cancer Bitches group, leaving Leviathan for greener pastures, and RYLZ simply rotted. All of its members left, leaving her and her alt, who are still there to this day (or at least, last I checked a few months ago) frozen in time. Either she quit the game, or she choked on her chemo, don't know, don't care. Had some laughs at her expense, and at one time I was going to make a social LS named Brain Cancer to advertise in the PF but decided against it and settled on a search message reading "Cancer jokes are growing out of control" instead.

Eventually enough time passed to which I no longer cared, she was long gone, my group at the time as well as Leviathan FC simply laughed at the ordeal, blacklisting was had as both FC as well as raid group laughed at the notion of her demands, and I got on with the game. I continued to work with this new group for a few weeks, it fell apart due to replacements not working out and the raid leadership simply not wanting to continue looking for new recruits. Joined another group on Leviathan for A3S, and shortly and simultaneously joined my current group. Leviathan group fell apart, while the Sargatanas group I'm in now has managed an A3S clear this week.

I screenshot and circulated our conversation for those that cared, laughs were had and the sincere but jagged words got the point across. That point being affliction doesn't give you the right to be a cunt. It's one thing to call people this and that on a forum, such as in a flame war or whist having yourself a troll. But you raid with people, you interact live, you give respect until they give you a reason not to. I live my life by this. As well as treat others the way you'd expect they want to be treated. But the other side to that coin is take shit from no one. Stupidity and any measure of tyranny should never be tolerated. More befitting, it should (metaphorically) be drug out into the street, beaten, set ablaze and spat on.

Many, many in this community play the supposed role of the hero. We all save our digital downtrodden denziens, uphold justice, stand up for ourselves and what is simply right. Very few take any of those sorts of characteristics and put them into practice. For the dimwitted, no, I'm not talking about some delusion of living in a fantasy world. But how many simply nod along as not to spoil the status quo rather than turning around, standing up for what is right and true, exclaim they're mad as hell and not going to take it anymore, while then taking a steaming log of a shit directly into the mouth of the status quo, then kicking it in the jaw when you're finished? I doubt 1% give even a single fuck to tell anything like it is, afraid of disagreement, or stepping on toes, and giving too much of a fuck of what others think. This is the absolute most abhorrent of individual. Less a person, and every bit a sheep short of genetics, albeit complete with bleating in unison, lest the shear cut too close.

What you get with me is the rawest, nastiest, most honest, most unabashed teller of things AS THEY ARE, not what you'd like to hear, flaws and all, heartless to those who themselves give no shits to any measure of right and wrong. Yet I am the type that would give the shirt from my very back if you are the type of person to which life is unkind. People seem to focus on strong wording I've given in terms of criticism, yet my very advocacy for "...empathy, compassion, or wanting to help others with content..." gets not a single mention positive or not. I get it, people have a need for that gory entertainment akin to the Roman Colosseum that this circus has become. Metaphor, because there are stupids among us that need nuance spelled out for them if it isn't written on a 4th grade level.

Bottom line? I make no apologies for my words. If you're offended by words, you yourself are a pussy, a pussy deserving of brutal prison rape. Why? Partially natural selection of sorts, other parts the fact that if you're a candy ass that needs things sugar coated, then you aren't worth the very sperm and egg from whence you came (pun intentional). Strongly consider switching your sub to something more suitable, which cannot be overstated.

I am now confused and cannot be assed to read either side of this shit.

Please leave me a tl;dr for the morning with bullet points and pictures. Thanks.

That'd be great actually. This thread is insane...

[AlastorTGN]

I was actually on board with the original email and points on LBR, but after that last edge fest I now suddenly find myself agreeing with all the Post Count +1ers in this thread, erk.

To be fair Xone started this last one with a 3 month old screenshot. I think they're all losers at this point.

Still an admin/occasional contributor for Loud Atheism. Not very active since debating religion doesn't get very far and I'd rather play the game/spend time with family.

Kudos for finding 10+ year old pics. Back when my buddy was learning photography and asked me to take a few pics in his studio. J2Portraits.com if he's still around. He goes by Silver Studios as well. He's gotten a lot better last I checked, also does horror movie related things on occasion.

But as I alluded to before, I've got nothing to hide. Only honest sentiment to say. Never shy of a battle of words. Google deep enough and I'm sure you'll see that. This is not something new, is just FFXIV instead of politics/religion. If those sorts of things interest you, well, the LA Facebook page is wide open for that sort of thing.

This is great, don't let the downers get to you, keep spewing that hate.

People coming to BG to defend themselves is the best.

[Zetanio]

It's like a mini-Christmas every morning now.

BG is becoming great again.

[Grey Jorildyn]

Maybe we can move this to spam. Seems more appropriate there.

[Elcura]

It would be if people didn't pretend they were better than the drama. Like 2-3 people actually trying to fan the flames what sad times.

I haven't played FFXIV in a really long time. It's hard to pour gasoline on it when you are so far out of the loop.

Game sucks anyway.

I got banned from the spam section. =(

Grey just upset people like me, request is obviously being ignored.

I can't read that post without thinking about this old gem for some reason.

That was the first thing I thought of when the LBR host Who Is Definitely A Real Girl was posting about how she has too much of a life to clear A3S.

BRB playing with my own tits in da club!

The insult has no bearing on the argument, even if used as a red herring, for the argument still stands on its own merits.

Your problem is that your arguments have very little merit, but you try to disguise that in a furious storm of garbage word salad. You appear to believe that your takes are so scorching hot that no one will notice they are flimsy as hell. For example...

raid group 1: "we had to replace you because you were underperforming"
raid group 2: "There are a lot of things wrong with this group. Too many to name."
raid group 3: you left because (in your words) you were "performing poorly"

Guess what the common denominator in all of your failed raid groups is?

When you have a tiny morsel of meat for an argument, drowning it in hot sauce does not make it more filling.

You don't understand. The mods don't read every single comment in every single thread every single day. Shit mods gonna shit.

And holy shit, I didn't realize those pics were of him lol. I thought there were like, "haha this post reminds me of the people in these pics" so thanks for clearing it up for me at least lol
