please address points 2 and 3 at your earliest convenience thank you. I would love to talk about the plausibility of historical jesus because the fad of messianic cults in ancient jerusalem during that time is a really cool phenomena but engaging in that discussion will just give you another thing to focus on instead of trying to understand what people are actually saying.

Sometimes it is soothing to the soul to engage with the bait. It heals me. Its not every day we get an active thread on this website and if nobody else is going to try and reason with the psycho for the sake of getting another page or two out of him well then I have to be that guy.

For a third time:

1. They don't hate Jesus, they don't believe in Jesus.
   
2. You can't really hate a thing you don't believe in, so they must be expressing something different than what they are saying literally.
   
3. Are you on the spectrum?

Think really hard, like really try your best to imagine that there are people who do not believe god is real. Then read my last post again. If you cannot see that it is not a change of topic and in fact answers your question directly that's on you man idk

you seem to really be conflating people who do not believe in jesus saying they hate him to upset you with them hating a real messiah figure and your inability to understand why other people may not follow the same belief system as you is embarrassing. Most of the stuff coming at you in this thread is the equivalent of a bunch of guys calling bigfoot gay and you having a metldown trying to rub your two brain cells together to understand why they feel that way about bigfoot. They don't believe in him so don't have feelings about the guy and anything they have to say about him exists within the very real context of what the bigfooters have been up to because those guys are real.

Guy who physically cannot imagine how other people wouldn't believe in gay bigfoot is very funny, and hence we continue to talk about how bigfoot throats it so sweet and so tender

Of course not man but I'd be pretty upset if you kept showing up in threads about the video game Team Fortress 2 asking me why I dont love your brother afterwards. Might even make fun of you a little about it. Do it enough and I might hate you.

I'll be the idiot to engage with the bait in good faith. People in general who profess to hate Jesus are usually doing so as a way to express their discontent with christians and christian organizations that have done them or their loved ones significant long term harm. Personally I find blaspheming in ways that make people like you uncomfortable to be a way of taking some power back over an ideology that has fucked me up in ways I'll never fully understand and is making my country into a place that my friends and loved ones cannot exist in without being systematically discriminated against.

I don't have an issue with christians as a whole. Having faith is a beautiful thing. My issue is specifically with anyone asking dumbass questions like yours. "Why do tf2 players hate Jesus" is the kind of evangelical bullshit you would only ask if you are either consciously ignoring the harm that is done in his name or you agree with it. I automatically assume you are the latter.

devil told me to, promised i'd be good at fiddle

Yeah a quick little skim through trends.tf makes this pretty clear imo. There might even be enough evidence there to actually prove it but I doubt anyone gives a shit. There's room for me to be wrong but putting the logs played by both accounts next to each other (especially the early 2018 and 2022-2023 periods) is quite damning.

Funny bonus thing is that claps has almost 460 hours of logs played with robotnik/aimer.

I do not have a reliable source but I believe people were saying that was a drp alt which would track. I half remember similar accusations for that guy but its been so long I could just be talking out of my ass.

Been turning my office into a test lab both for work and for fun projects. I have been making cables, writing up documentation and listening to 40k slop audiobooks. Living my best life.

There was a NA player named mute who didn't talk and claimed to be mute back during like ESEA era. They used binds for a bunch of stuff and had binds for mumble text chat as well and would ask that you turn on TTS in mumble during pugs.

Dunno if they were actually mute.

Every TF2 player I talk to swears they'll never play this game and yet the number of boomers on my friends list playing it is steadily doubling every 3 months. The game is good and fun.

The movement system is maybe a little polarizing but I do think that a lot of people who are complaining about it haven't spent any real time with it. If you are consistently instant dashing, wall jumping and corner boosting you can fly around the map in a really fluid and satisfying way that reminds me a lot of getting decent at rocket jumping for the first time.

This is definitely a common experience. I have had to quite explicitly draw boundaries with newbies I've coached in the past and in once case outright stop mentoring a minor who would not stop making raunchy and flirtatious jokes. I'm generally a friendly jokey guy with people I've mentored but have learned to tone that down a bit as its sometimes taken as an invitation for a more personal relationship than I'd be comfortable with. The crass/ flirtatious jokes seem to be a big part of these younger clique's sense of humor and nobody before me had really explained to them why it wasn't a good idea to behave that way with strangers online.

I've had to have a conversation around these lines with every team or player I've coached and I think its been valuable to the newbies every time. I also had to learn for myself how to draw these boundaries early and set a good example for younger players. A formal resource would have definitely set me up for success. Standardizing something like this in an organization like TF2CC sounds like a really good idea. If the goal is to get people into the scene teaching them how to safely be a part of an online community should be a part of that.
