The Like/Hate Thread

[Belle Hibiki]

What the hell is that for an attitude? Mercenaries butchering innocent people in public executions is a-ok for you because someone bought them as a product?

No, you fucking idiot.

My point is that, like hunger and war, hacking is almost inevitable.

That doesn't mean you don't get angry about slaughter in war, or the fact that there is hunger, but I don't come in here every time something goes wrong in the world to say 'man, I hate war.'

It's assumed.

Do you honestly think think I'm saying killing innocent people in public executions (which, by the way, had nothing to do with anything I said) is okay?

Oh hey, another thing I hate: fucking false equivalence.

When I think about the dudes that do the hacking, these are probably guys that work like 12+ hour days, doing incredibly mindless, repetitive jobs generating e-currency through hacking so that they can scrape together some yens. They probably go home late, alone, to some shitty apartment/hole in the wall/basement, and do what they can to eat and rest before they sleep so that they can wake up the next day and do the same thing.

It's hard for me to hate such people - even if they inconvenience me. It's not as if it's personal, so while I may get angry at them - and while I may not like them - I don't hate them. Especially when the only reason they exist is because WoW Users keep buying gold.

e: And again, the only reason why you get hacked is generally because you fucked up and clicked something obviously suspicious or answered one of those phishing e-mails, aren't running a virus-guard, don't have your username saved in the top box (keyloggers can't record what you never type!)...
