The issue here is that I don't have an issue with being called a noob. Or astro noob.Originally Posted by BlinkEra
It's a group of players themselves who have issues with it. And if they have an issue with it, we ought to protect their interest and not do it the way we please.
Where have the crucial value of empathy gone in this community?
Its like religion. If you aren't a believer, then making comments on another's religion can cause the other to take it to issue. Similarly, calling someone an astro noob can make the other take it to offense.
We need to learn how to respect their decisions. Those players don't want to be called that. Why can't we just accord them the most basic of this respect? Or why can't we do something about it to protect them?
It's their right and freedom to take to issue with the word "astro noob" and we shall not infringe on it by letting it continue.
You can argue that it's the players right to say whatever they want or for players to joke, but it is not ethical and it is introducing negativity into the community. As I said earlier, what you interpret as a joke may not be the same as those those who are being called. They have the right to take such banter as an insult because it was really uncalled for.
Why can't we be empathetic? Have you lost your moral compass?
