How can you categorize people playing on server? Black, white, asian? no, there is no visible colour of your real skin in the game. Maybe having a girlfriend/boyfriend or not? No, we don't see it either. Maybe nationality? No, it is enough to know foreign languages and most of players do know at least one (generally english). Age? We neither see it. It is just fucking perfect world. Noone will see who you are. There is no possibility to get categorized into anything (apart from skills) in video game.
So can you categorize players? Yes ! U can just insult them (i am not talking about jokes guys), call them noobs, fags, hunt them and finally make them noobs. You can't tell him, u fuckin nigga ! u really don't know if that words have any real backing, but you can just "noob" him. Diss him. Video games are just a mirror of our minds. We're anonymous, we can't we noob? It is harmless, ye?
You really can categorize people into this better and worse, it's just what I meant. I am not talking about slavery, hundreds years of racism etc. I told u to look at origins (you used roots, honestly i don't know what does it mean
does tree has roots?). All that racism, nazism, fascism, came from categorizing. I don't equal noob = racism = nazism
No no no. I just wanted u to look at this, that it is coded in minds, better, worse. It is good that video games don't give wide opportunity to do these bad things, but what it would be like, when u couldn't get out of the game?
Have you heard about Professor Philip Zimbardo's "Stanford prison experiment"?
Nowadays noobing is totally harmless, but for me, we ("most famous words on the internet")'re again victims of bad way of thinking. Thats all not about real harms but way and bad direction. History's again. Human sin.
If everyone used noob, i would let it go. It would be still insult, but at least fuckin equal insulters
I'm sorry about saying that's end for me, but... just that wasn't on motives of this discussion.
Looong story.

Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.
