    I fucking hate this phrase. You have the choice to not participate and be a normal human instead of a sociopath.

    Hate the players because they perpetuate the game.

      It’s even more pathetic than that. They aren’t just expressing their will to play the game, they are asking for approval despite it. It’s similar to the “nothing personal” disclaimer which is usually followed by something with significant personal disruption.

      Most honestly expressed, they’d be, “I’m doing/about to do something that impacts you negatively, please don’t retaliate against me because I don’t like it when negative things happen to me.”

    What does this even mean in this context

      I’m pretty sure the saying goes, “don’t hate the player, hate the game.” Which implies that you shouldn’t be blaming the bad actors but the bad system that causes it to be that way.

        Which is asinine both here and in its original use. If there weren’t bad actors the system wouldn’t be broken. The players make the game.
