This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: oggsmash;1052839I am too old to think I should do or endorse it, but I would have LOVED for this matt guy to want to engage me in a fight over my feelings towards Sarkesian.  Odd that he decided instead to just run up and assault the guy though.  I would have handled it a bit differently than Jeremy did though,  but to each his own.

Like I said we handle things like this differently.  I wouldn't be that shocked if most men under 40 have never been in a single fight their entire lives.

When I was working corrections and serving as a supervisor and assistant trainer for my facility, I was surprised by how few of my new hires had ever been in a fight before, and this is among a group of young men that are full of swagger.

Quote from: tenbones;1053042You mean ten-string combos that end with a double-shoryuken isn't real?

Well, if the assaulter was a Namco fighter, that would explain the broken window, as he likely already entered a preset combo before Hambly shifted to the side plane... :p

Well that's a good thing, no? If people have managed to avoid fighting until 40+ then they must be doing something right.

If you've never gotten into a scuffle as a kid, you probably never actually had any friends, much less went outside.

Well, that's the thing isn't it... A kid's 'scuffle' is not exactly a street fight or a brawl. Kids bash each other all the time... You're supposed to know better when you are and adult.

Nowadays many of them just have such fights on social media.

Precisely. You get into fights when you're a kid and figure that stuff out. Adults who have never been in any sort of confrontation have zero clue about how to deal with the situation. Hence all the road rage incidents, Facebook/Twitter bullying, bullshit callouts in bars where dudes get sucker punched, etc.

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

From my observations 95% of adults cannot fight their way out of a paper bag. Because it's a lost skill... Average people just don't need to be able to fight. Anyone can be sucker punched if they don't understand the attack ritual.

People who win fights tend to be highly aggressive, punch first and then just continue attacking capitalizing on their momentum. It's the classic mugger or a gratuitous attacker's MO. it's very hard to deal with it if you don't understand modern violence or the 'three second fighter' as legendary doorman Geoff Thompson called it.

Yeah, I'm advocating for NOT having fights in a civilized society; when you're younger, you figure out that starting shit with the wrong people usually ends up with you getting your ass kicked. Also, this is why carrying is a good idea...never know when some lunatic will decide randomly assault someone.
