phuturephonk Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 ...Ok, what I'm about to say is going to come off as elitist and snobbish, but you know what!?, its gotta be said because I see a fascinating (and frightening) parallel with this subculture and another I frequent...I'd also like to say that I can do without the complaint posts about how long this post is.. If you choose not to read this in its entirety, yet still criticize, then you are just as much a part of the problem as the next fuckhead.. Lets begin....In my off time (read: any time I'm bored and in the house with nothing to do) I like to game online, eat twinkies, jerk off and snowball into my own mouth. Two of my favorite games in that subculture (online gaming IS a subculture with characters all its own...) are Half Life and Diablo II. I've been playing Half Life for about oh, god, it must be close to 5 years now, I've been nutting on joeg's back for jeez, about 2 years and sobbing quietly to myself, oh man, it seems like forever. I've also been playing it online for about the same amount of time and I've seen a massive change in the community as the prevalence of powerful multimedia computers has increased as opposed to it being a niche geek thing as it was in the past (not everyone could get Glide working perfectly on that old voodoo banshee, it took a bit of finagling..nowadays setting up an uber-gaming box is childsplay because of the horsepower these systems are packing..but I digress...)..Putting 10 geeks in an arena, arming them and then telling them to circle jerk is an interesting spectacle to watch. You'd get the standard issue profanity, your usual nut in the eye but for the most part it'd just be funny inside jokes about technology and other sillyness..At the end of the match everyone yelled good game and you did it again..at least until my mom called 'lights out' Around late 99 things started to change. I found that the gamers on Gamespy became younger and younger. Aimbots and TheHacker were becoming prevalent and you'd be lucky to be in a game with anyone over the age of 16.In Short, The children had arrived... which does NOT necessarily mean bad things..but children with no respect from the suburbs DOES..I swear to God, I almost choked on my cool ranh doritoes and passed the glowstick from my ass. JulieK...where are you?These kids became the major group...I'd log onto a server, start playin, no easy feat with lay's potatoe chips, baklava, and corn chips hanging from this phat mouth and people would have automatic scripts that would choose any one of serveral homophobic/racist/xenophobic slurs that would automatically be said after a kill was made..Eventually the text line (where you can read what people say) would just scroll fag after fag after nigger after fag..It was sad..I must admit I typed most them, and I felt bad.Then I started playing Diablo II on Battle.net which proved to be many times worse. See, in Diablo people actually have 'time' to talk, so you don't have bots that autoresponse to you dying.. You get to hear what these stupid little fucking kids have to say. Every second word out of their mouths was 'thats gay' ...'you're a fag' ...'this is my nigger stick, with a custom grip for beating niggers'...my shame spiral continued. I woke up this morning and THOUGHT it was the 21st century...How does this equate to nightlife?Well, party culture, although not entirely a new thing IS to American youth a novel concept..As the beats that we all listened to became more and more mainstream, the children and weekenders who just wanted to come in to see what it was all about increased exponentially...This caused the general population of party people to gravitate from the usual devotee..often an individual who had been drawn to the seemingly 'free' expression that the late night hours and music evoked to your garden variety undisciplined suburban child...5 years ago when I was partying I was surrounded by interesting people who all seemed to have an offbeat story..Many of them had been part of different social circles..some popular, some geeks, some jocks, some alienesque midgets with a crossdressing fetish... As time went on I saw the numbers of people who really didn't give a shit about the sense of community go up exponentially... I got hit for pills more times than I can count (and I still do in a typical night out) and I saw more OD's than I could possibly forget in a lifetime...Messageboard club subculture is no exception to this.. At first you have devotees, then it gravitates to trash as the broadness of involvement increases... I've met some great people from this board in late 01 and throughout 02...People that really do care about the scene and what its all about...Sad fact of the matter is, no matter how much we think we've progressed in this civilization, the majority of kids out there are still slightly racist, very homophobic idiots that live in a white washed universe...THOSE people are the ones who will come on this board and start shit....THOSE people are the ones who are surfacing and causing shit on CP, in effect destroying it for the community this board once was... Its just surprising to alot of the people in this thread who, like me, have gotten into this scene so long ago for acceptance where we couldn't find anywhere else.....It all comes back to the 80/20 rule, you violate that and it all goes to shit...Electronic Subculture has done so and is now feeling the effect... Hopefully as time goes on those proportions will come back into line.. I however, doubt it..Thats my 2 bucks, you don't like it, go fuck yourself...Cuz you know what? I'm right...-MikeyPh0nk __________________Julie K*:I miss my loafy.. . . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post is cra-----------zy. At first you were getting all into it and playing w/phutuephunk's 'd'--you being phuturephOnk and ranking 'yourself' out by talking about your video-game habit. Then you get all serious...and even if you were being a wise-ass, I agree with a lot of what you wrote about the scene.Originally posted by phuturephonk..It all comes back to the 80/20 rule, you violate that and it all goes to shit...Electronic Subculture has done so and is now feeling the effect... Hopefully as time goes on those proportions will come back into line.. I however, doubt it.. either you're phuturephunk, trying to be funny by creating your own parallel or you're someone else playing it as a bitch----which is prob. what it is. whatever...funny!!!!
