GameRager: I take it you don't like to do so(by your choice of underlining)? o.0

If so, why bother posting? :|

AWG43: Well, I didn't say that. I just agreed with you that only some people like to stay on topic. And what I would like is this thread to be locked already, but who cares right? :)

I also liked some post here, especially "role-playing a victim" stories and the continuation of them with "how I understand you :)" These stories was goddamn hilarious (i am not sure if I picked the right word though).
1. Why have it locked? If someone doesn't like a topic they should just ignore it right?

2. I hope this last bit isn't about who I think it's about. o.0

AWG43: Try to contact Ashleee or JudasIscariot. I hope I can post their usernames here since I can't rich you through private conversation. Judas works with stickies most of the time (as far as I know) but I'm sure he can help you with locking your thread.

BreOl72: Want to take a guess, which two blues I have contacted? ;D
I'm surprised they haven't contacted you yet. Whenever I have reported spam on the forums they have usually cleaned it up right quick.

BreOl72: This one might be easier than you think... ;)

Bingo! That's one of them...now - don't waste your lucky streak on guessing the second name - go and buy yourself a lottery ticket...

BreOl72: Hello,
Sorry to disturb you, but I wanted to ask, if you could delete or at least lock this thread of mine: gog.com/forum/general/slightly_disappointed_about_v_being_depicted_as_a_male_figure_in_the_collectors_edit ion ... apparently, most people misunderstood the intention behind it, and the whole thread took a course in a direction, that I never intended it to take.
Thank you in advance. Much appreciated!
BreOl72
But surely all those low rated posts indicate it was *you* who misunderstood, right Bre? ;p

LootHunter: How do you add icons to your forum "title"/signature? Like checkbox mark you have.
Pretty simple, actually.

Go to some place like emojipedia, find an emoji that strikes your fancy (like this thinking face emoji


edit: lol, posting the thinking face emoji actually cut off the rest of my post... Great forum software you got there, gog! A+++++++++ Would buy again!

Anyway, you find an emoji that strikes your fancy and simply copypaste that into your forum title. It either shows up correctly or it won't. If it doesn't, just go find another one. Have fun!

If this was my thread I'd want it deloused with Zyklon B, and then nuked. Just to be safe.

I have a policy of not responding to people that I have identified as trolls. So - don't wonder if you'll never receive a further reply from me after this last comment.

Have a nice day.

I've got your back on this bud and can attest to the righteousness of your statement, as well as the depravity of the individual harassing you.

That reminds me of the aliens films....Nuke it from orbit/etc.

GameRager: Not to sound callous/mean....but please don't use appeals to emotion(even if bad personal stories) to try and win a debate.

Also what does the last bit of part 1 mean? That you think women being sexy leads to assault?
That's the trouble, I like having a chat online but everyone else seems intent on winning a debate. It's not an emotional appeal, just the reason why I don't "embrace my sexiness". I have faced things like this if I dress more womanly, if I dress in baggy clothes I don't.

avatar
LootHunter: I mean exactly what YOU mean. You asked - how many male characters are there who are only there for women to ogle?
Now I'm asking you - how many women are interested in such characters.
I have no idea what most women are attracted to but why does every character in a game need to be sexually attractive to someone to be a valid part of the game?

Of course I agree and I never said otherwise. Just that I personally don't like certain things.

HappyPunkPotato: Hi OP, sorry for helping to derail your thread!
The derailing of the thread is not so much the problem.
Heck, I have derailed other people's threads in the past, too.
It's more the direction that the derailed thread has taken.

I'd like to live in a world where women and children feel safe and secure. And I don't think it'd be all that difficult to achieve.

AWG43: Edit: trying to snip a post. How do you snip a post, by the way.
You just delete the text between the quotes and type snip or ... in its place.

1. I'm sorry then if I assumed something I shouldn't have. It just seems(like with you seeing other people wanting debates and to win) that many like to rely on emotional details/info to win such debates more easily online and it's those people i'm wary of(and when I see people posting emotional tales during back and forth I tend to assume they might be pulling such, but I now get that that wasn't the case with you).

I am also sorry you have faced such issues, btw.

2. Not who you replied to but: They don't have to be sexy but it appeals to many people and can even be used as a valid tool in showcasing a character/world setting if done right/in the right game/genre/etc.

One could easily also ask why have people shoot or fight in some games? Or why have action of any sort in some games? It appeals to people and sells product and also sometimes helps make a story/world more immersive to some(if done right).

3. While fronz is very crude/crass I do hope you reported it at the very least.

4. And that is a fair stance to have.

What direction? People discussing the pandering being done in media on behalf of various groups or just the general derailing topics being shot back and forth?

If it's the former then one would have assumed that such a topic would've garnered people discussing that topic in a more general/broader sense at the very least.
