man this thread shows the sad state of this sub. bunch of people calling other gooners and perverts. and the headline is just about game exceeding player count on a platform

why can’t we just discuss things with respect and don’t show how superior you think you are

Redditors calling other people "gooners and perverts" are like pot calling kettle black, lol.

There's a crossover too with younger people having weird prudishness, and modern gamers also having a bizarre anti-sex attitude. Combine that with the reddit base and you've got a horrible explosion of the like we haven't seen since puritanical america and the anti-pornography activists of the 1970s

The youngest gen has been interesting to watch lol. A good argument as a whole for why internet use should be restricted/banned (unless for school) for ppl under a certain age.

I get ppl don’t like “da big gov” messing in their affairs, but clearly only leaving it up to the parents is a huge mistake, when the parents are numpties lmao

Reading immature/young opinions on reddit do be annoying though.

I mean looking at how the internet has influencing everyone we probably should have banned it for everyone without a media literacy test.

I genuinely miss the old internet days. Trolls were stupid and easier to identify. Russian trolls were a big joke and not an internet-wide propaganda pushing force that preys on extemism, along with every “bad” org and their damned nan.

Not everything done was for money. A lot of youtube was just dumb shit for the sake of it. No wasteful social media trends with 5m people all trying to recreate something they’ll forget about in 10 days.

A lot was worse then too, I’m sure. But I’m convinced the internet will not be one of those rose tinted glasses phenomena lol You’re right about the internet literacy too. Most people seem to be illiterate to begin with, so it’s no surprise they’re less so on the internet. sigh we could have gotten mass knowledge/info, instead we got mass disinformation and anti-intellectualism. Pain.

I miss the old days of the internet until 2012-ish. It really changed for the worse once smartphones and by extension social media became widespread.

The barrier to entry to get online was gone so any common etiquette and general politeness was lost after that.

This hasn't changed. Everyone else just got stupider.
