  Correction: It's come to my attention that the person falsely accused of getting with a reviewer for a better game review, Zoe Quinn, came out as non-binary after the events of Gamergate, and now uses they/them pronouns rather than the she/her pronouns used in this video. At the time, they were perceived as a woman, which means that sources on the subject while it was still ongoing used she/her pronouns, and I didn't investigate further.

  You know that there was a serious problem when there’s a schoolwide assembly on being nice to each other and then another assembly about it immediately after.

  “it was nice playing with you earlier” is so much more positive than gg, and helps clarify that you actually feel happy about the match<br><br>i never even considered how saturated “gg” has become and i’m glad this has been brought up for many reasons :]

  Rotting always spreads when it&apos;s not addressed. It&apos;s better to talk about it when the amount of people who do it is small, because the alternative is letting it simmer and spread until it starts getting out of hand or heated- that&apos;s when it becomes a big issue and that should be prevented. <br><br>I never get why people go against addressing bad behavior, small group or big, because how is it ever bad to work towards a safer and nicer community? And hey, if you&apos;re not doing the thing that&apos;s addressed, you&apos;re not being targeted so why care that it&apos;s being talked about?

  Splatoon streamers: &quot;This is how I&apos;d like to be treated. Please and thank you.&quot;<br><br>Some person: &quot;No, I&apos;ll treat you how I want. Now make content for me and play games with me.&quot;<br><br>🤦

  I’ve never understood the crowd of people who, when told something is either offensive or insensitive in some form, proceed to hold their ground on it instead of just moving on :/

  As an autistic person, my brain hurts. It sucks that a thing I was taught to be polite and have good sportsmanship all of my life from sports to online games now has to have more rules that confuse me. I’ve only gone to someone’s chat to say “gg” if I know them and they know me. I did it once with Vic (who doesn’t know me) but we were on the same team and even though we lost, I say “I was fun to play with you! ggs!” and now I’m self conscious that idk if I came off as genuine or not. I understand that people can use manners to mask rudeness, but it’s just frustrating to watch this video as someone who has trouble with the complexities of social interaction. Message heard, though. If that’s what people want, I just won’t do it at all.

  &quot;sensitivity is not weakness&quot; THANK YOU. as someone who&apos;s fairly sensitive it&apos;s really satisfying hearing that..<br><br>i really like these life-lesson videos, they&apos;re really well done! i hope these can reach a wider audience than just the splatoon community tbh<br><br>edit: okay, reading these comments, i&apos;m not sure if you were just Unclear about the specific difference of &quot;saying gg to the popular streamer after a random solo q match&quot; versus &quot;a casual gg to ur friends&quot;. or if the comments just didn&apos;t watch the full video.<br><br>i thought it was clear enough, but a lot of the comments seem to just be saying &quot;what, saying gg is bad now?&quot; which is definitely not the point
