Because I like to prove I’m a horrible son of a bitch that at the very least has some sort of social filter in public, here’s something else I said during the same conversation about the whole thing.
*I’d like to take this moment to make myself look bad and devalue everything I’ve ever said by stating that, while playing Little Big Planet, I made a sackperson that had giant glasses, a baseball helmet and a red and white striped tank-top and short-shorts. Every instance I got while playing with my wife, I would either have him crying while furiously touching himself (you’d HAVE to see it) or smacking my wife’s sackperson around. I named him Whacky.
In my defense, it was damn funny, and I cried for 10 minutes straight from laughing so hard.*
There. Now you can all say I’m a bad person and that nothing I say has any merit instead of digging around for this first.

The sweetest revenge is success. Let’s aim to become the model citizens of competitive gaming and take the first steps on path everyone else will follow.
How about we don’t rewrite the rules of our culture because some angry white knight nerd on a glorified blog wrote a story about us being scumbags without actually knowing the first thing about us?
The term ‘white knight’ is used waaaay too much, to the point that it’s kind of becoming meaningless.
Like it or not, the story that started all this was a pretty egregious and unacceptable situation.
Even so, all that there is going for this is that ‘thats how it’s always been’. I’m a fan of changing the things that are wrong, making the community better for everyone.
