i'm just that "People are dying, Kim" meme at all of this.
like literally. people are literally dying right now. you can tell none of the big whiners on that thread live in areas that were affected by the recent rash of natural disasters because they'd hopefully have some semblance of perspective in that case.
I don't agree with everyone in that thread but this is a baffling take. Are people not allowed to be mad or upset at anything else if there's been a natural disaster recently? What are /you/ doing on the Dragon Salt & Whining comm, anon? Don't you know Hurricane Milton happened recently? /hj
which is why i'm not acting like FR burned my crops and delivered a plague unto my house over a slight change to a set of dragon pngs.
at no point did i say people couldn't be mad or upset. i did suggest that the people who are being aggressive towards the Devs or otherwise acting like This is The End of FR for them pretty obviously don't have anything actually serious going on in their lives.
Are all hobbies supposed to stop because something terrible is happening somewhere? What an absolutely inane take to think people can't be suffering because they're frustrated by an admittedly silly game. I hope you get some perspective, in the nicest way possible, and learn not to generalize based on assumptions.
lol get some perspective yourself. and maybe some reading comprehension because i didn't say any of that.
no where in my original response did i say people couldn't be frustrated. i just suggested that the "big whiners", the people in that thread who are acting like this is the end of the world. you know, like Kim Kardashian was in the origin of that meme? should maybe chill the fuck out.
"you can tell none of the big whiners on that thread live in areas that were affected by the recent rash of natural disasters because they'd hopefully have some semblance of perspective in that case."
"pretty obviously don't have anything actually serious going on in their lives."
I'm not sure what I misunderstood, because you're still doubling down on making assumptions of others based on pretty tame complaints in a thread dedicated to discussing the topic.
I agree some people seem overly combative on the topic but your attitude is nasty and cruel.
you can go through a natural disaster, be stressed out by that, and also be immensely stressed out that a game you play as an escape (from things like said natural disasters) made a change you didn't want for genes you may have spent RLC on at the same time, despite knowing that the game isn't the immediate issue to tackle. in fact, maybe this was a single straw that pushes things into a break BECAUSE their immediate surroundings are such a bleached hellscape, and a little nice thing is now no longer giving that joy it did; things build up over time, and small things never feel small when you're already in a really bad place.
people know there's suffering outside and what they have is more than some people have elsewhere. the only 'perspective' someone is gonna take away from this is that you're annoying for reminding people 'others have it worse, stop being upset'.
like, come on, dude. pain is relative. the world outside is constantly terrifying and awful and full of death and dying in a time when everything is too expensive to do anything about it. i have understanding that if someone is upset (even excessively!) that Pixel Dragon Don't Look Right Anymore :C, it's because that thing was important to them in some way, no matter how small that importance is.
do they need to dial it in? yes. but don't use the patronizing "there's starving kids in africa" statement, it doesn't do fuck all for the person who's upset but make them feel worse for being upset OR the starving kids in africa, and you're just annoying.
There's always a catastrophe somewhere. People being upset at a game doesn't mean their perspective is off.
If one lived in a hurricane area or whatnot, I can see being more angry in response to this because there is no one to direct that other anger at. The hurricane doesn't care. This is a viable direction that one can use to vent and know someone hears it. Even if sone of it is misdirected and over the top, the anger is not so shocking.
Hurricane Maria destroyed my home country and yet I still found time to bitch about Neopets as soon as I had internet access back then. People can care about multiple things at once. Even dumb things.
