Ahhhh it's weirdly beautiful mate. This whole exchange is like one big illustration on irony and (ironically) you end your point by illustrating just how little you understood my posts.
It really is satisfying. But if you want to teach me something and show me why it would be ironic to insult you in a post which was designed specifically to insult you then I'm all ears :) x
Paralympians asked to not compete vs modders asked to be faster there is no analogy here ๐๐๐๐ Or did you reduce both examples to getting criticized so you think it counts as analogy? truly 11 year old mind ๐๐๐๐
The analogy is that someone insulting people trying their hardest while doing nothing of importance themselves are worse than the supposed injustice they point out in the first place.
In this scenario, the volunteer modders are the paralympians, and you're the douchebag criticising them for contributing something to the world despite having nothing productive to show themself.
Hope I helped :) x
"Their hardest" literally a hobby most likely not their hardest and it is a job for the paralympians, so not an analogy on both fronts, "nothing of importance" having a job to buy food and stay alive is more important than a videogame mod. Fake everything and you get an analogy, congrats.
Exactly, literally a hobby and not a job, people contributing time they absolutely don't need to in order to create something for others to enjoy.
And you're criticising them because they're taking too long. Taking too long with their unpaid voluntary work for a product lots of people will enjoy.
Seeing it yet? :) x
Nooo its a hobby u cant type LMAO or I'll compare you to disrespecting paralympians ๐๐๐๐ I literally predicted u would reduce both events to criticism, now I bothered to explain it too
Seeing it yet? :) x
It's not simple criticism though is it mate? It's criticising people who are contributing to the world while offering nothing yourself. That's the whole point which has already been pretty clearly explained.
If we take it back to your original comment you're literally criticising the amount of free work someone chooses to do. I'd hoped you might see the analogy but it seems like we're past that point so let's call it a day.
Good luck though mate, maybe think about it a bit more when you don't feel like it's a battle with an anonymous Internet person and can look more objectively at the points made :) x
