Originally posted by MythLordOr, one could get to the root of why they feel depressed and angry, instead of funnelling all of that negative energy into KMC. The reason why rates of depression are going up and prescription drug companies are making a literal killing is because we've got a society of people who don't understand their own emotions, and when confronted with them turn to online forums to hurl abuse at strangers, take harmful, addictive prescriptions from their doctors, eat a shit-ton of terrible food, take illegal drugs, play a shit-ton of video games, and so on. All for one purpose; to make themselves feel better.
It's inherently impossible for every human being to be carefree and peaceful. An aggressive temperment is just a natural thing, and everyone at one stage or another will be angered by something.Better to verbally fence and insult each other jokingly on a forum where nobody's gonna care about your special, emotional needs, than the alternative to snap at someone IRL.
I have chronic depression, and I am still pretty numb to anything Zoltan says since I don't care, Deronn says because I understand he's joking, or Quanchi says because he's an idiot.
If we're seriously just gonna start getting so overly sensitive on a forum like KMC, go to Tumblr then. I don't like it that a hobby has to include idiots screaming at me, but oh well... that's life. Nobody's going to specifically tip-toe around your poor, little, lost, broken-wristed soul.
It's either letting it all out on here for the sake of banter, or getting screamed at by your mom and punched by your dad cuz you snapped at them like a brat. Pick one. 👆
Negativity doesn't come from out of the blue; every time you call someone an idiot you're compensating for something.
