Let's see. I decide to add goggles to avatars for a laugh. Something that is comparable to drawing moustaches on people's pictures. YES. IT'S NOTHING ELSE. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHERE THE DRAMA CAN APPEAR.

I didn't touch your identity, pride, organs, hairdo, or money. ONLY A BUNCH OF PIXELS REPRESENTING YOU THAT YOU COULD SIMPLY IGNORE. And even if someone changed them to anything else, YOU CAN REDO THEM. How do things get out of control this easily?

I mean. People making drama is ok. Fantastic for series and stuff. Now imagine a TV series about a guy who cries over his lost avatar in an internet forum. And he feels so bad he leaves the comunity. And many people thinking like him leave too.

IT'S AS RIDICULOUS AS THAT. AND GUESS WHO HAS TO FEEL RESPONSIBLE. Well, I do feel responsible for stuff I couldn't even control to begin with.

I'm not dissing the goggles by any chance, though. They only remind me how little control we have with the stuff we have around. And by that, I don't mean a mod changing a bunch of pixels.

Goggles aren't funny, they're serious business.

Alloy Wrote:Ah, I love people thinking in absolute.

You see, you think it's crappy. And that's all. Just because you think stuff is bad, doesn't mean it's bad for everyone.

Thinking like that is why people overreact to stuff in the first place, thinking a joke is a personal attack, thinking that the world thinks otherwise means it just sucks, and so on.

I have no problems with people thinking I'm an idiot, a sad loser, or a RHINO. Think whatever you want! I can't change that. But attacking others because they think otherwise (not your case, exactly) is simply silly, and the start of most of the wars, now that I'm at it.

See some people enjoying themselves? And you disagree with them? Why are you showing your discontent by expressing how silly or wrong they are exactly where it's taking place? Is it going to change anything on you (Besides your avatar)? Is it going to change anything not posting it? Well, let them be! Specially since it's not going to last long.

End of the rant, hopefully

EDIT: Wait, wasn't this on the pits of hell, in the first place? oh well...
