--- Quote from: Schwalbe on September 16, 2015, 05:02:56 pm ---Some lvl 18 guy asked questions about Vet Mode.
1: So, it's a new game mode?
Sch: No, more like an apartheid.
--- End quote ---
i'm sorry but this is not okay, if you're not in favour of that mode i can understand that,
but using a construct that was used by invadors to shame and dehumanise the country's own people based on the colour of their skin has no comparrison to be brought up here.
it's not an unfair seperation, it's to do with skill and time and effort and is completely voulentary.
please just take this crticism and don't try to counter argue why you can say whatever you want because it's the internet.
just try this one time.
thank you.
Schwalbe:
No problem - actually I was surprised no one was offended when I said that in the first place, I... would say 'excel' but this word fits Disaster more... in controversial humour.
To be clear - I know it's not right, just like many things in this fucking world. I try to laugh at it, but honestly - I might not be German, but still I'm efficient and lack sense of humour. ;)
Look at it like this - if you laugh at things like that it's good, because this way you make things like that look retarded, hence - if done right (I don't claim I do this right) - discourage others from copying this shitty behaviour.
And if you feel offended, triggered, anything - still good, shit like that must be opposed this way or another.
Those two paragraphs are general explanation as to "why", not about this particular situation. I just wanted it to be clear, I don't feel like triggering another shitstorm, ok? I have better things to do, like: practicing for my new band's rehearsal, or preparing the lesson of computer science for kiddos in high school I graduated from.
Also, I do know and understand what Veteran Mode is, and God, I'm so thankful for having opportunity to play with people who are most likely to know how to play when I'm to tired to cope with newbies.
Edit/PS: Thank you for not acting like an ass-hat and attempt to resolve things in civil and intelligent way.

I actually thought the apartheid joke was pretty funny.

The only reason people complain, is because no one is flying a Junker, but every ship sounds like a Junker! Lol
