Rezzy Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Here's a good general rule of thumb: don't make lighthearted jabs with people you don't know because not everyone will react or feel the same way you do :/ I try to go by the Golden Rule, and treat others how I want to be treated. I generally don't mind people making fun of my name or me in general, but I suppose it may bother others. The only things that irk me are people mocking my kids or calling me a liar. I uh think that's a bit strict tbh I think as long as you learn from your mistake that's fine enough. As long as you genuinely show that you are sorry and won't try to do that again I'd say that's good enough for anybody. That's what second chances are for. Making jokes is a part of many people's nature, too much so that I'd say that's overboard to try make them restrain it that much. Especially since there is usually no harm meant out of those kinds of jokes. What I would say is thing to look out for is to not continue that kind of teasing after the person has already made an angry post about it. It's possible Rezzy didn't realize that he was being so serious, but it might have been good to play it safe (at least, I guess anybody who genuinely cared should do so because I know there are those "LOL TROOOOOOOOOOLLZZZZZZZ XDDDDDD" out there) ike's still a baby though I never try to goad people intentionally. If anything, I worry too much about offending people and making them dislike me. this wasn't even a jab, let alone a lighthearted one, what the hell? lol all of my unironic getting mad on an internet forum was directed at aag, the other two folks just caught backblasts. it's the convergence of four irrepressible truths: (1) my name has been ike for at least as long as i've been here, which is some years (2) 'ike fights for his friends' is a tired meme (3) jokes are funny with context (4) the reality of the ultimate bourgeois mindset, where the contexts and experiences of the self outweigh those of the other what conclusions can one draw from these four pieces of data? given that (4) is near-universally true for this forum, being as it is a hive of bourgeoisie scum, and that (2) is true as well, being as memes, like minions, are simultaneously hilarious to the decadent and completely lacking in humor value, it's easy to conclude that not only do people often make a comparison to fire emblem ike xD when i use my name on this forum, but that it's highly likely to be a meme; ergo, that. exact. sentence*. there is a vanishingly small chance that, in my long tenure on this forum, i've not heard that exact phrase used as soon as somebody sees my name, so a logical addition to the evidence is that (5) i have heard this before a lot. with the addition of (5) we can rule out immediately that anybody saying it to me is in fact being original; however, the existence of (4) says that a non-trivial amount of time they think they are. then, consider (3) - referring to the case, what context was there to the joke? none, it was just a catch phrase spouted automatically with no value whatsoever. the only link possible was "he said 'ike'" - a link which is embellished by the bourgeois mindset until the meme becomes more than a catch phrase; bazinga itself becomes a joke, as long as you're in on it. a sixth truth we can pull from the pool of universal truths to tie this all up in a nice package is A = A; in other words (6) memes are bad. now we're talking about a meme, which has been applied to me many times with no provocation besides "he said ike", which is often said from a place of bourgeois mindset - the teller thinking that, perhaps, they could be the first to have said it, or at least among the first few, that perhaps the joke is not long dead. the only final conclusions to be drawn are thus: either (7a) i am, myself, fully bourgeois and find this hilarious, (7b) i have learned to just shut up and deal with this thing i dislike, (7c) thread evidence, plus every other goddamn time this has happened, points pretty obviously to (7c). i have proven that i am, in fact, a baby. qed. * the runner up is asking me how soren is doing, if you're curious I apologize for my part in this. Okay, but have you considered changing your name? That would probably help decrease the amount of "Fight for my friends" jokes that are directed towards you. Changing his birth name might be a bit extreme for that. Plus it's a cool name. I remember thinking of Eisenhower every time I heard it, before PoR came out.

Sunwoo Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I don't like it when people I don't know or aren't very familiar with start acting like we're close buddies and throw out joking jabs, is all I'm saying. Not everyone is like that, some people are better at taking a joke or just going with the flow, but if I don't know you all that well and you're suddenly acting like we're good buddies I'm going to dislike you. I think too many people (including me at times) tend to forget that not everyone's personality is like yours and something you'd be fine with is off-limits to them. Awareness of that is not a bad thing. Kind of like how some people may be just fine with giving out personal information about themselves online, while other people really would rather you not ask them anything that can be remotely personal. And just because you'd be fine with people asking you about rather personal things does not mean other people are fine with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezzy Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) I love how Ike keeps editing my post to use "Soren" when I keep using their JP name "Senerio". Is Senerio a real name? It sounds sort of like how Raine and Genis Sage were Refill and Genius Sage in Tales of Symphonia.

I try not to be too assuming with people, but a little good natured teasing every once in a while helps make it feel like a community, rather than an impersonal scholastic meet. I actually enjoy a friendly poke in my direction, since it makes it feel like I belong, rather than just being some outsider. The Golden Rule is nice because although 10% of the time people may differ on how they'd like to be treated, 90% of the time it works.

Freohr Datia Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 What's funny, Rey, is that you're talking as if you're the only person who knows what it's like to know more than one language But people who know more than one language tend to be considerate and try to talk to people in the language that they understand (including the localized names that they're used to) It's common sense and basic decency =b Like you're being bullied by a person who is fluent in two languages and has learned bits and pieces of several others on top of that including japanese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Fre, I'm just shitposting. This is an fftf thread. I refer to them as Soren when Ike isn't in the thread. The fact that Ike posts every time I refer to something in Japanese is an annoyance he can't ban me for. Same in the Pokémon GO thread, etc. If I actually wanted to talk using JP names, I'd go in the FE4 thread and talk to TE or Neal.

Twice is entertainment enough anyway. As long as I'm not actually doing any warnable offenses or doing any harm to a member, I just do it to be silly and annoying. I mean, I've done that in the hacking threads way back when. I'm sure you've also taken shots at me without quoting. It's also too much effort and I've stopped caring at this point. It's shitposting after all. Edited August 25, 2016 by shadowofchaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
