Carebear....ROFL!!

i wonder you r starting another chapter of flame warb:shocked

I think you're too optimistic, saying that everyone that acts evil have bad backgrounds. Some people are just naturally evil and feed off the misery of others. You make it sound as if everyone was born an angel or something.

ZOMG!! U ARE A CAREBEAR

This is a response that many kind and caring people get these days is many games. Let it make it very clear to you all that the more human u are , the more kind and caring you will be. The more balanced your life, the more compassionate you will be.

As in most of the cases the ones who are making fun of the caring people are usually kids who everybody makes fun of at school. Now they are unable to stand up for themselves in most cases maybe they are too fat or too skinny etc etc. So they come online , start acting like they are some gangsters and spread this hate in the game because they are so filled with hate that they radiate it everywhere they go. So if someone is acting in a caring way they will make fun of them and in a way discourage that person from acting in a caring way the next time. They are not allowing others to give what they themselves have been denied in real life, kindness.

Now you will say this a game who cares ? Well let me tell you real people with real emotions play this game and if you do your best to upset them with your hate filled actions then maybe some of them will get upset.http://www.truthscape.com/html/ts_TheTruthScapeSoapboxIssue1WordsCanKill.htm

My advice to you will be do not discourage people who do acts to caring and kindness. If possible do them yourself. Acting like a gangster online will not make you a better person in real life.

You can continue to blame others for your actions or you can take control of the way you behave. Let me tell you that hate is such a thing that it will eat you up from inside. If you have a problem in real life then simply take action to solve it in real life instead of just filling the world with hate.

Every thing you do in your life is a choice. Fat people can do daily brisk walking for 1 hour and control their eating habits , food does not accidentally enters your mouth. Skinny kids can build up strength. If you feel no one loves you then you can start by giving out love to others and i can assure you love will love back to you. If You had a painful past you can always remember that the past is over and that you can shape your future by the choices u make in the present moment. If you are in any abusive relationship then you can stand up for yourself and find better alternatives.

You will always have a choice in life. I hope you start to make choices that make you a better person.
Even when no one else is watching , you still are.

This is not an extension of real life.... this is a game, to be played in your spare time.

Being evil in a game is in NO WAY an indication of what a person acts like in real life, it may simply be a dynamic of the character they are trying to establish.... haven't you ever wanted to be the bad guy????

Also if you put too much emotional stock into what someone says or does to you in a game... not only are you a Carebare.... you're also an EMO, if one's feelings are so fragile, perhaps they should not be playing at all, perhaps they should seek emotional counseling.

All we need is some nut going off the deep end and going on a killing spree over what someone said to him in a game....... LOL!!!!

Friends don't let EMO friends play online games!!!!b:laugh

TBH, people dishing out the word carebear as an insult are idiots -- and same goes to those who take it as an insult. It's just a word, ffs, that can be easily brushed off. And to the people who call others that name or whatever...can't they think of anything else better? X'DD

Anywho, yeah, this place is nothing but a video game but, I will quote the OP on the one thing that is very, and always true:
"Well let me tell you real people with real emotions play this game..."

'Nuff said.

I am a "carebear". I care a lot about people around me (hence my "Seriously?" topic in S&V). It doesn't matter if someone repeats themselves to me, because I already know I care about people. When people call me a carebear I just say "Yeah, so what?" and that usually gets them to go somewhere else or start on some new insult.

By then I know they're just looking for a fight and I blacklist them (yay for PWI thinking ahead of time..) and go back to training my Veno. b:pleased

well from what i know and experienced
i have learned to let it be
they like to harass people and it does suck in a way
but well that is the choice they make
they choose to be a jerk
and it is our responsibility to ignore them lol
at least that is what i thought
especially when you are playing in pve server since they can't kill you
probably they will KS you or insult you using weird to dumb words
but for me a very ignorant person i could just say "whatever" and let it pass
and the last choice is to just play offline game where the jerks can be killed lol well most of the time

carebears are cute. i used to watch it when i was little. b:pleased

Let's all meditate and try to reconnect with the ever flowing harmony that is our sensitivity while chanting "I'm a carebare yes I am, I'm a carebare and so is Sam!"

Then we can all gather around the campfire and hold hands while singing Kum-bai-ya.

I just want to give all of you a really really really really great big hug!!!!

..................NOT!b:laugh

lol, thats not a carebear. Thats a hippie. A carebear is someone who helps others first and then themselves. Nothing wrong with that though.

If even after all of this, you decide not to PK, then yes you are a carebear. Its a label, a title, a little something that says even though this game allows PKing you somehow do not want to use that feature and cannot understand why others will.

Ha, right...just because features are there do not mean that it is intentional for every single person to use it. That's like saying since you have an FB at level 19, you are automatically supposed to do bosses or you're a carebear.

Really, it's just a feature...

what about during territory war, some people would sit there and not attack other guild. also on pve server, white name players would ***** about getting attack by other players.

While it is true the RPG part is role playing game. Not all role play. I act almost the same way in game as in real life.

I would probably fall under the carebear title, but being a donkey's butt isn't exactly my idea of a fun time in game. People insult other players, but people don't realize that not everyone is role playing. Feelings can be hurt whether or not someone intends it. Sarcasm isn't easily detected over the internet.

If you insult someone, you may be intending to insult their in game actions, but sometimes that would be the same as insulting the person itself in real life.

Well try to keep in mind that people are a product of there times. One generation will be different then the last in the many ways, as will that one from the previous, etc. If you go back only two generations (a generation is 25yrs btw), you'll notice the morals instilled in children were a lot different then today. "eat your vitamins, say your prayers, help old ladies across the street etc". Then you had the peace and love generation with "we are the world, we are the children. Give peace a chance."

A generation is 25years, but every 10years you will see a drastic change in behavior. The 70's and 80's were completely different. As were the 80's and 90's. And so on and so on. The recent generation is the "apathy, greed and everything is a joke" generation. Decensitized to violence completely, very little moral character because of the lack of moral foundation and finding humor in about every tragic facet of life.

Someone falls and breaks an arm? hahaha pwned. In a movie a woman is savagely beaten? pwned! hahaha. You've never seen this, en-mass, in any previous generations. It's a lack of moral fiber, and zero moral guidance. Anything parents might try to instill in children is negated the moment they step out of the house to there social circle.

Like i said, the current generation (25 and under) are the "we don't give a F" generation. Everything and anything is funny to them. If they saw you in a car accident in rl they would go "woa...damn that **** was wicked!", and you expect them to be any different in a videogame? Where theres even less real world control?

I'm part of this generation. I'm a psychology major currently and peoples behaviors and personalities has always fascinated me. Even the current one won't really last. The pendulum of societies morals swings in extremes. A few generations will be extremely conservative (see 1920 to 1950), then a few will be extremely liberal (see 1960-present). Usualy society tends to get more conservative after a war they win, and liberan after a war they lost. America's spiral to liberalism was perfectly placed with it's defeat in vietnam. Unpopular wars bread dissent, and dissent breeds liberalism. As opposed to world war II which was a "we rise against the evil that threatens the world and our children!". It's all a carefully placed product.

North-america is only going to get more liberal with it's views as time goes on. The iraq war is not a popular war and is breeding even more dissent. More dissent means more liberal attitudes of "i dont give a fuc!" and so on. Now dont get me wrong, liberal attitudes don't equate bad attitudes. But they do equate a more tolerant attitude towards behaviors that would outright be condemened, and punished, in conservative attitudes. Frankly i'm not either, i'm in the middle. Somethings i'm liberal on (marijuana), some things i'm conservative on (crime).

So what did i say with this wall-o-text? Basically, you cant expect someone of a different generation to act like you would. The main reason you need to grow old and die is because if you lived forever, you'd never addapt or understand a few generations removed from you, thus you wouldnt be able to fit into there world. You'd never understand the mentality, nor would it be yours, and you'd be useless to them. So don't try and understand this generation. They do what they do, say what they say, and you should take a page out of there book and just say "I dont give a damn" to what they do and move on. It's a game after all. We cant even fix societal behavior and you want to fix in-game behavior? Pick your battles, time and place b:bye
