As an aside…. and sorry for not being up-to-date with forum-speak but:

1) “white knight” is the new “fanboi”?
2) What does QQ mean?

Thanks.

QQ. The old game Warcraft II, to exit you hit alt+q+q. So, If someone is rage quitting a PvP match because they are losing, that how they leave the game. People started making jokes about that, “oh, he qq’d” (he raged quit). Then the meaning spread from rage quit to being angry and complaining then to complaining and whining.

Dang, beat me to it. A lot of people think it’s about some crying emoticon but it really isn’t.

Lol. Some of you are being so hyperdefensive about this thread, claiming that any opposition is equivalent to misogyny or being lesser human beings.

We don’t need you to remind us how noble OP’s intentions were. Even the trolliest threads in this forum are generally posted with good intentions. The discussion here is mainly whether or not the execution and publicity of the topic will create a net positive.

If people got aggressive here, it was probably because the OP attempted to stand on moral high ground with a list that might have been overreaching.

But please, go ahead and generalize all objections as ad hominem attempts to discredit the OP and his “noble” desires. Be the very thing OP wants these forums to have less of.

I look at it this way: If the thread, and topic, doesn’t apply to you, why would anyone get upset? If it does apply to you, well then, one might lash out with an argument based on semantics.

You must be new to the Internet. Welcome! XD

(laugh) I sometimes forget that logic tends to go out the window when entering the Internet. At least . . . for some.
