Before anything you say in here matters, you really need to go and google 'hyperbole'. It's not trivialising anything. Nothing at all. And no, I don't think lightly of crimes against children at all. Fortunately, one has not been committed here. Kthxbai.

I'm sorry you feel that way and I truely hope you are never in a situation which causes you to change your mind.

Take care.

There is no situation that could change my mind. None. Because nothing has been said here that does anything to belittle or denigrate any such situations. Again, your grasp on language and context is lacking, and that is entirely your own problem. As a result though, YOU are the one doing the denigration. You aren't just being a complete **** by suggesting that what the OP said means he thinks less of child abuse, but you are making a false equivalency as well.

This has nothing to do with how I feel though. It has everything to do with what I know, specifically about language. No offense has been given, or intended, in the OP's post. Frankly, I'm more offended by your suggestion that he or I might, by virtue of using and defending said hyperbole, think less of child abuse. Nah mate, you went full potato on that one. Go eat a lemon.

It never ceases to amaze me that in such a hard game that weeds out the weak from the strong, people go weak at the knees at a little bit of bad language. Of course I know what it was likely to be, but really...

PS I typed * four times just in case anyone decides to report me too...
Yep, no hope for you. Its got nothing to do with bad language. Are you that far detached from humanity?


Actually I had not even noticed that part, people use expressions like **** cage, jewing etc., that I just take the context and often don't pick up on it. Seriously in one sense I respect you for finding it offensive, but on the other part I don't because I don't think the person is saying in way shape or form that he believes it is right to **** children. I would suggest that you just decide not to like the player, but to go and report that sentence is a bit meh.

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

You are entitled to your opinion and I'm entilted to mine.

I don't think the topic of raping a child is a suitable one for jokes, hyperbole or anything else that takes away from the serious and life changing crime it is.

You think its ok (the joke, hyperbole). And I pity you for holding that opinion. But I will still call people out on the disgusting and disgrace way they trivialise it.

And thats part of problem, you have become de-sensitised to what should be a truely horrific thing to say. Thats why people who use phrases like you mentioned should be called out on it. Its trivialising truely disgraceful crimes and needs to stop.

That's not hyperbole. The context of the comments are that the OP is a numpty who apparently can't find the cap feedback thread and thinks posting a hysterical toxic topic in GD then telling people to kill themselves will a) fix his twatmobile b) not be locked and scrubbed by mods. There's even a chat channel on a 3rd party service people can go talk directly to Fozzie and Larrikin if need be - you'll forgive me for not linking it, cos I doubt the mods there would take kindly to someone wandering in then making remarks like this.

The forum rules are in place for a reason to try promote a basic standard of discussion so that actual constructive interaction can take place. If you can't abide by them, crawl back to whatever toxic hellhole you normally post in. Don't forget to B4R in a few months and give us all the life story about how being a wanker on the internet was just an expression of your unhappiness IRL (don't expect me to be around with a packet of tissues and a violin tho).

We're not all teenagers. The playerbase average age is high enough for plenty of people to be parents, and diverse enough for there to be people present who have seen first hand what a raped child looks like. You don't get to tell us what we can and cannot remark on as offensive. It's not being a SJW or whatever snivelling acronym is in vogue this week. It's called having a spine. I just spent a day dealing with people mourning recent deaths. I don't need to open up a gaming forum and see someone tell someone else to kill themselves over an imaginary spaceship. Not what I'm here for. Freedom of speech entitles all of us to comment as we see fit, including, 'GTFO my face with your attitude and stick your carrier up your backside, because whatever your point was I don't give a ****'.

Hoooo boy. Wow. I'm just gonna close this for a few rule violations.

Forum rules

2. Be respectful toward others at all times.

The purpose of the EVE Online forums is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas, and a venue for the discussion of EVE Online. Occasionally there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Forum users are expected to be courteous when disagreeing with others.

3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

8. Use of profanity is prohibited.

The use of profanity is prohibited on the EVE Online forums. This includes the partial masking of letters using numbers or alternate symbols, and any attempts at bypassing the profanity filter.

23. Post constructively.

Negative feedback can be very useful to further improve EVE Online provided that it is presented in a civil and factual manner. All users are encouraged to honestly express their feelings regarding EVE Online and how it can be improved. Posts that are non-constructive, insulting or in breach of the rules will be deleted regardless of how valid the ideas behind them may be. Users are also reminded that posting with a lack of content also constitutes non-constructive posting.

31. Abuse of CCP employees and ISD volunteers is prohibited.

CCP operate a zero tolerance policy on abuse of CCP employees and ISD volunteers. This includes but is not limited to personal attacks, trolling, “outing” of CCP employee or ISD volunteer player identities, and the use of any former player identities when referring to the aforementioned parties.

Our forums are designed to be a place where players and developers can exchange ideas in a polite and friendly manner for the betterment of EVE Online. Players who attack or abuse employees of CCP, or ISD volunteers, will be permanently banned from the EVE Online forums across all their accounts with no recourse, and may also be subject to action against their game accounts.

34. Posting of inappopriate content is prohibited.

The posting of pornography, discriminatory remarks which are sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive as well as excessive obscene or vulgar language, posts which discuss or illustrate illegal activity, or an instance of providing links to sites that contain any of the aforementioned is strictly prohibited on the EVE Online forums.
