tl:dr you seem like a cry baby

Lol you post a thread saying -blam!- you to everyone. Then wonder why people treat you poorly. -blam!-ing retard.

Writes a full blown novel elaborately telling everyone to go -blam!- themselves... [spoiler]and WE are the douche bags[/spoiler]

OP posts huge rant calling everyone douchebags. Wonders why everyone treats him like a douchebag.

Wall of text TL;DR : you're a whiner, that's why people aren't nice to you.

If you are sensitive then stay off the internet. You can't control what others say.

Because it's the internet... The place where dicks can be dicks with no danger of being punched in the face.

hi

I can completely sympathise. As a relatively recent Viator to online social spaces, I was surprised and disgusted by the amount of nastiness displayed by what seems to be a majority. So I did some research. The main factors involved in this sort of behaviour are apparently anonymity and immaturity. The relative anonymity of communication via the Internet has two main effects on people using it. First it removes the fear of consequence and the feeling of responsibility from the user. Most people wouldn't behave like this in real life because of the pressure of social conformity, and because it may earn them a punch in the face. Second, it dehumanises other users, making them not so much actual people, but something more like a character in a video game. Immaturity is obvious. Younger people are more likely to display this sort of behaviour. Not all young people do, and older people do as well, but the majority of people acting like this are likely to be teenaged or younger. Most people tend to grow out of this sort of thing as they get older. Those who don't are often emotionally immature. Also be aware that comments on the forum aren't a true representation of the community as a whole. The people who make positive comments in online social spaces are less likely to do so if they feel others have already offered the same opinion. Their input is generally just to help or offer an opinion. The people who make negative comments are more often doing so in an effort to be 'amusing' (if only to themselves), or to elicit a response. Because of this, it is generally irrelevant if the same comment or opinion has already been offered, they will add their own opinion anyway. I would also add that older, more mature people, who are more likely to offer positive or constructive input are less likely to comment in online social spaces. This is because they are generally less comfortable with this type of communication, and because they are less likely to feel the need to share their own opinion with others. In closing, to be clear; I am not claiming that all young people behave this way, nor that only young people do. There are plenty of young people who do not act like this, and plenty of older people who do. If you are not one of the offensive users, please do not be offended, I am not talking about you. If you are one of these people, please do not be offended, I meant no offence, and am merely repeating information obtained from other sources. Feel free to do your own research into the subject, or offer your own reasons for such behaviour if you feel you are misunderstood.

It's not just the forum. They are a douche in real life.

Sounds like you're letting internet people get to you.

Destiny is one game in a stack of games that sits next to my TV. The games I really get into--Borderlands, Elder Scrolls, Fallout for example--I visit their forums/Reddit/etc. There is no doubt that Bungie's forums are the worst for trolls, bad form, etc. They really need to get a grasp on fixing it.

It's the internet man. You will run into a huge amount of dicks in any forum anywhere you go. The worst part? Alot of these guys aren't dicks in real life, they just act like that over the Internet for whatever reason, because they can. The best thing to do is to not acknowledge them and move on, don't take the bait. Otherwise you'll just end up pissed off in a yelling match with someone who's having fun with it.

I like tacos

#1 rule of the Destiny forum community: Be prepared to argue. The majority think they know better.
