 but even if I were using his latest DMC4 clip (which is around 20 RTs and 50 likes, nonetheless made by "regular DMC players"), it would still prove that he is  valued  and  noticed , and saying "people don't care at all" would still be wrong. If you mean  this one , I am pretty damn certain that it would get like 2 times or more if Kyo or Turtle posted something like this. "But what if these 130+ people really knew about Lloyd's behavior?" They would have a poor awareness and empathy. I am not even saying Lloyd shouldn't get the same visibility as punishment, but as a sign of not considering irrelevant his wrongdoing. If someone does something wrong, the most moral act would be to try to correct such actions, educate him, etc. Acting like if nothing has changed in his behavior is less universable, as it makes a positive change even less likely. Because most experienced players reaches the 100 likes every time where one might barely ge...

You provided as counter example one of the best combos, if not the best combo of Lloyd with 136 likes to prove he is valued and noticed , from one of those periods where he was behaving well (or at least not fucking up). But in general, the most of his stuff doesn't get nearly the same amount of retweets and likes as other prominent and good players (keeping in mind Lloyd's level and base amount of followers, before his nonsense was more public). That is  just from what some western players and memebers in the community in general know, which is far from everything. And understanding community as usual players/members. Not every DMC meme-addict (or creator), lore theorist, etc. Obviously, usually prominent and/or reputable players have more followers. This means that if out of a sudden Turtle, you and others completely stopped supporting me because of X reasons, the core of my visibility would be badly damaged, because the rest of my foll...

The Misunderstood Greatness of DMC.

Some weeks ago a tweet from Feyntan caught many people's attention: While I can understand how such tweets may sound pretentious to some people and even upset them, it's still not a good excuse for condescending and nonsensical comments like this one: What's actually wrong with this type of comments, besides the passive-aggressive tone and trying to discredit some people calling them  weeb ? The mere fact that DMC and Platinum are somehow in the same or similar category spoils it to a certain degree in this case. Such people  don't really understand what makes DMC great , and  assume   that it's only or mainly because of  how it looks . But what really makes DMC good isn't just  looking cool  and the visuals. We don't play DMC for years just because of its flashiness. We could be perfectly just watching action movies or combo videos from FGs or other games. They are a big factor, but it's mainly the interaction betw...

Introduction. We definitely weren't using  deserve  in the same way and I understood  warrant  differently the first time (I edited my reply like 1 hour after posting it though). However, if you mean  justified  morally, I could only agree with you if we were talking about some type of totally unavoidable reflex, which it isn't; and/or it was the most efficient response, where I have serious doubts. I consider that we may have significantly different versions of the word  hate  too. I am going to at least clarify that, if we make a rough dichotomy of  hate  as  Feeling Only  vs  Feeling and Behavior related to it  (like hating and not doing anything or just explaining your criticism/analysis of the game vs hating and insulting, for example), I consider the second one properly wrong. The first too, but in a less drastic way, and mainly as (probably) not the most useful feeling for oneself...

Normas Sociales.

Nota: Este texto no insinúa que las normas sociales sean negativas de por sí, sino que, a pesar de la posibilidad de llegar a ser conscientes de su carácter constructivo, en la mayoría de casos las personas no aprovechan la flexibilidad de nuestro diseñor para cuestionar sus constructos. Introducción. Desde que nacemos interactuamos interindividualmente en las diferentes subsociedades en las que nos movemos. Desde nuestra madre hasta nuestro grupo de amigos, toda combinación de 2 ó más personas podría ser un subgrupo social, subsociedad, grupo social u otro tipo de unidad social (según cómo las delimitemos). Las unidades se pueden combinar, separar, etc. En cada una, mediante un i nteraccionismo simbólico se transmiten, construyen y reconstruyen normas, y éstas, a su vez, construyen y reconstruyen a las personas. Se usaría el término  símbolos sociales (concretamente los imperantes por defecto según el contexto social-histórico en el que se haya ...
