Hello and welcome. I want to talk about drama on gamejolt and those who comply with it (including myself).
It has been a growing problem on gamejolt where something along the lines of this happens, guy joins gamejolt, he hates everybody, he says something shitty only a dick would say, and the person who he was shit talking gets offended or upset, everybody then teams up like a group of gankers in dark souls 3 and slaps the hell out of them with things. If you are aware of this type of repetitive scenario, then you know it's a problem.
I have been part of gamejolt drama involving multiple different people, I was the person who "teams up like a group of gankers in dark souls 3". I know the last bit of drama I addressed was hardly even a month ago but I realize that I should not be doing that type of thing and I will give you some reasons to also realize it's not good to worry about gamejolt drama.
1: It is not your problem, if somebody is getting shit talked on gamejolt it is not our problems, the guy can have them reported or they can simply do something called a "block" which is a very usefull feature on gamejolt that you should try sometime.
2: It is not worth your time. When you go out of your way to type 50 paragraphs of complaints to a single person that you HAVE NEVER SEEN IN REAL LIFE (unless you have), then that is just a waste of your time and energy.
3: It is you playing into their hands. You may wonder, "how?", well when a person gets onto gamejolt just to start drama, they probably have had 50 other accounts and came back because they are petty 17 year olds who are not finished with "buisness" so when you type that 50 paragraph response, you are playing into their hands.
and finally: Gamejolt is not for this type of shit. I say this because Gamejolt is a place to have fun, it is a place to enjoy yourself. And when you add on to drama on Gamejolt, it was not just the person who started it ruining Gamejolt, it's YOU too. YOU can make the difference in whether YOU add on to drama. Nobody else makes that decision for you. You can so choose whether the drama on Gamejolt dies or not. And it is the fact that we hear one thing about somebody and we all come and fly by and try and cancel this guy by being worse than what they were.
Us being worse to a person who was bad is not lowering the amount of bad people on Gamejolt, it's increasing it. Because when we verbally abuse a person who said something like "Shitass sucks!" or "Crapface can suck it!" or something the lines of shit talking, telling the person to go fuck off and to die and shit like that is NOT right.
Let us all together make Gamejolt a better place by simply rejecting drama and being respectful to one-another. We can avoid and reject drama by simply saying "Ok" or "cool" or you can just simply ignore them.
Just report, block, and move on!
