Admittedly, it's entirely possible there will be people under twelve on this site, even if the internet is supposed to forbid it, but I understand what you're saying. Overall, I was just personally curious as to why it was posted up and such, since I'm not able to open videos myself for reasons I've explained. I've gotten all I needed to know.

I definitely perceive the line between a discussion and a flame war, and ultimately that's a line I watched get stepped over in the aforementioned thread in the arena forum, which, once again, I emphasize was not provoked by one of your "regulars" in the first place. I participate in arena battles more to experiment with new ideas I have in a simulation, per se, rather than for the sake of doing the battle itself. That doesn't mean I believe everyone who does it more for its own sake is toxic; in fact one of the "regulars" actually came into the thread near its conclusion and backed me up.

@Shoryu Magami

Well like I said honestly even if the Arena Culprit in question was a 'regular' youd still be well within your right to critisize his behavior, my issue was with comments about the arena being inherintely abrasive and toxic because they like to write about combat which is simply a pig ignorant statement. But its obviously also ignorant for anyone to attack you for suggesting a simulation alternative especially when you arent telling they cant continue battles the way they want to.

I posted the video because I found it funny, if anyone found themselves deeply offended by it, then they can talk to me and have a non-flame war discussion about it.

Well you are right about it being irrelevant to you, no one in video used your name.

If everyone on this site decides to automatically assume I'm referring to them then that's just paranoia; everyone has an issue with at least a few people here, I would imagine.

@Shoryu Magami

And this is where it all comes full circle, I agree with this, and the same logic must be applied to the video I posted, I'm of the opinion that no one over the age of 12 could really take that video as a personal attack on their broad appreciation of anime, but if someone IS paranoid enough to respond to it in that way then I can only resolve that through discussion.

I mentioned this in another thread but this is the difference between a conversation and a flame war.

@Pudding the girls in that game are hot

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

I hate it when people cant tell the difference between a Disagreement and Flame war.

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>
It'll only become an issue if I feel like I'm being disrespected. Like I said, I'd let other people's reactions determine it. No one's bothered yet, so there's no problem. I prefer to stay one step ahead of problems, which is why I sent my initial post to you in the first place about it; I was looking for someone to inform me of the content, not for an argument.

As it currently stands, my PC is unable to even save images without basically breaking down on me. Opening up a video to check for content is simply not an option at all for the time being.

@Shoryu Magami

And like I said, flamebait is subjective, just as I pointed out being somewhat irked by the characterisation of the arena as a community wasn't an issue for some people but it was issue for others. Also there is a lot of passive aggressive mentioning of 'certain people on this site' and 'some members on here' which could be interpreted as toxic (not by me, just giving examples). The best way to moderate drama is through intent not by content. If I mean it as a joke then its a joke, if someone doesnt appreciate the joke then they can let me know and I will react accordingly with an apology/explanation etc. If you encourage mature resolutions then drama will be resolved more often than not on its own.

@Ryoko what sort of RPs do you like?

<Insert Name; Will Edit Once Not Busy> {Hang-out Thread}

My presumption of him too, which is why putting up the video made no sense unless a) it was flame bait, or b) it's become commonplace for fans of something to insult the thing amongst each other for fun. I avoid communities in general so I wouldn't know, just like how I neither understand (nor care) about most of these memes and internet terms people keep tossing out around the site.

@Shoryu Magami

Well I wasnt insulting anything, it was a video of someone saying anime is trash in a self aware and humorous way. 'Toxic' and 'Flamebait' is fairly subjective when we move outside of the realm of direct insults. People can become enraged over lots of things said in this thread, but common sense dictactes we don't tiptoe all of our humor and honesty to fit everyone's needs. So far no one is stirred up, and there is no reason why it cant stay that way unless you want to turn this into an issue with me.

@Dynamo Frokane
*shrug* I don't particularly care one way or the other

@Shoryu Magami

Then there is nothing more to say on the matter.

@Dynamo Frokane
My browser isn't in a state where I can open links to videos (nor videos themselves sometimes) without resulting in me losing work, so I won't be clicking on that. On the other hand, I do hope you're not putting something up that could spark another fandom war; I'm frankly growing tired of that nonsense.

@Shoryu Magami

Its just a joke video, nothing about any specific anime. And if someone does take criticism of anime as a 'declaration of fandom war' then thats on thier insecurites, not me.
