Nothing is going to change

almost 10 years

It's sad to have to say this, but even though we lost a great player recently, the whole EM community is not going to change who they are because he has left us. We may preach "Let's change the community", but let's just put it out here right now that we are not going to change. Some of us will still be rude, whether it's in game or out of game, some of us will be welcoming, and some of us will not. It's going to happen. We're scum people okay? No one is good and no one is bad. (Except for banned users. They're bad.) We all are just stuck. That just really makes sense in this situation. We are stuck in a phase that is so hard to grow out of and change. But if people think it is worth a shot to try, then go right ahead. Best of luck to all of you who are going to try to "change their ways.", I will be cheering you on.

EDIT: to make a long story short, I am not blaming the EM community for Josh's death because it was not our fault. He was our friend and he taught us many things. I'm just saying that in order to change a community, we need to change ourselves first. Nothingg is going to change if we don't try ourselves.

or we could cry abuse at people who put forward the barest suggestion that we might be at fault, i guess.

ya that's peta's post. and maybe itg shouldn't have made that post in that other thread, but on the other hand maybe itg is feeling the abuse he gets on here. maybe this thread isn't that at all, but one person's personal despair

it's reductionist and insulting to act like this site's community was the cause of Josh's issues


It doesn't even qualify as reductionist. It's just wrong.

gary's note had literally nothing to do with EM as a toxic userbase. if anything, he was commending the community for allowing him to find some of his best friends. it was a place of relief and consolation for him, somewhere he could turn to that wouldn't cause him harm.




i didn't say it did. the tone of this thread tho, just as is the tone of gary's note, is self-correction.

can u imagine how much guilt certain people must be feeling now? or people in general who had their own similar problems, their own hangups about who they are?
