As we all can see, our sandbox much resembles a playground. In our elementary playground two cool kids have emerged as well as their hordes of lackeys. The victims are the uncool, miners and people who partake in PVE

-Followers of James 315 and Mitanni
-Kids trying to play by themselves

I'm curious as to what the lackeys, followers think of this arrangement. By follower I mean people in the goons and in anyway sympathetic to them

I'm curious because I'm willing to bet this is a role-reversal for many of the nerds in this equation.

Are you feeling enjoyment battling or even overcoming past subjugation as a child?

Do you ever feel like less of a man by letting another man tell you what to do, i.e. fill out votes for you, give you text to recite, act how he tells you to act?

I'm curious because when I was a silly child I told betas what to do much in this same fashion, I learned from it and grew up. Seeing it now as an adult and seeing men being uterrly dominated by other men in the exact same way give a sick twist to it. Please answer honestly.

While I'm not part of the group you wish to receive an answer from, I feel compelled to provide my feeling on the matter:

If they want to act how they wish, as long as it's within the rules of the game, then they should be allowed to do as they please(which I've always stated).

Now, them being allowed to do as they please, I still feel you're allowed to arrive at whatever conclusion you may feel as an adequate reason for them choosing to act as they do.

I mean, who am I to try and control how you think? Who am I to try and control how you play?

You do what you want, they do what they want. You think what you want, they think what they want.

That's the beauty of the sandbox. Making your choices because you're allowed to, and seeing how those choices impact and influence the interaction of everyone else.

This is the exact respose I expected, which should tell you something in regards to what I said.

I would just like to know how you as an individual feel when you recite it

I dunno man how does it feel to be the kind of person who calls people "betas" unironically?

I am by no means a 'Goon sympathizer', what ever that is. But I can sure tell you one thing, they add spice to the game.



I like spice.

All animals can be submissive, you may be choosing to do it

I'm not judging

By betas I mean both the willing and ignorant submissives

Submissive to what and how?

Like sex stuff?

I don't see what that has to do with EVE

OP needs to more clearly demonstrate her argument instead of skipping past all the clarification with results nobody is sure how she arrived at.

Not necessarily sexual, people can show submission in a group towards a dominant person in an effort to make themselves more attractive though. But if you're getting a visceral sexual reaction to it, then possibly? I'd like to know certainly

What spokesman am I spending my time shilling for? The elusive high-sec agents?

Who are you speaking for?

Think about that.

Nerf goons :D And I speak for no one, I speak for myself.

Anyone who has to play follow the leader is weak IMO
