So, if I show a picture of a 4e Essentials book hanging from a nail in an outhouse with the caption of '4e: So Thick! So Absorbent!'* then I am allowed to laugh?
Yes.
You also might want to explain to me how that isn't intended to insult 4e. But you're still allowed to laugh if you find it funny.
Sure.How about a dragon flying over dung besmeared 4e players at a table with the caption: '4e Players: Better Targets Than Trolls!'?
Again, though, maybe explain to me how that's not insulting 4e players. Good luck.
Sure it does. I don't think anyone actually has the ability to officially declare something funny, so clearly whether or not something is funny is left to the individual. And I find it funny, so it's funny. Maybe it's not funny for you. Which is kind of a shame. Laughing is fun.For you to find it funny does not make it funny
Neither were you, unless you self-identify as an internet troll who spends his time regurgitating asinine complaints. If you do identify as one, then yeah, he was pooping on you. Take that.- you were not the one that the dragon was pooping on in effigy.
I should note that I'm also the sort of person who doesn't waste my time or energy getting offended by racial, gender-based, religious or age-based humor. And I think that, if you are the sort of person who gets offended by that stuff, maybe you might consider stopping.It is like a WASP saying that he doesn't know why some folks find ethnic jokes to be offensive.
We've unfortunately reached a point where the very idea of being offended has lost almost all its significance.
Maybe. Someone might consider himself an internet troll and still find that funny. I mean, an truly dedicated troll certainly would.It is only funny if you are not the one that the dragon is pooping on.
No, it wasn't.The ad was an insult, intended or otherwise.
Those people are free to explain away their attacks if they feel like it. But if they're at my expense, then by definition they're going to have a hard time doing that.And considering your own reaction to minor slights against 4e and 4e players I very much doubt that you would find such jokes, at your expense, amusing.
Absolutely. I do agree that WotC is guilty of overestimating the maturity of the tabletop gaming community. They should have seen this reaction coming a mile away.Someone at WotC should have thought things through.
