Seriously getting driven over the edge by passive aggressive comment headers.
- I'm so sorry this tag is so late please forgive me uguuuu
It's been three days. Seriously, what did you think I was going to do? Quick Ma, break out the shotgun one of those wankers is making me wait for tags again. This one is infinitely worse if I took longer than that to tag them.
- I hope this is okay if it's not I can totally delete
If you write a comment like this I think you're either one of those players who is ~oh my god so intimidated~ by everyone or a big name wanker. If I don't want to play with you in a meme I'll just not tag you, I don't need the pouty comment header. If you do it in a game, you're not exactly leaving me much choice but to pretend it's okay. What am I going to say? No, fuck off, how dare you tag me?
- Uguu I hope I'm doing this in the right place!11One
I just have no response for that one. I don't know, could you maybe read, pm me and ask, or curb your enthusiasm long enough to see what everyone else is doing?
And by the way I really don't need you to apologize every time you edit a comment for spelling. Spelling errors is a thing that happens.
Bonus points if anyone using any of the above calls themselves a loser or an idiot or mentions something totally irrelevant like them needing to go to sleep or grocery shopping. Shock! Horror! The person I'm role playing with has a life! Life will never be the same again!
Those aren't passive aggressive and I've only ever seen and used the first two in ways that actually mean what they say
Someone who says they're sorry a tag is late means that they're actually sorry a tag is late they're not trying to make a jibe at you
And the second one? People have to ask that often when they play villains and or use weird fonts and yeah sometimes the answer is no a person is not okay with it and that is fine
That's why that question is there in the first place, it's not an indirect attack on you
Seriously, you can be bugged by these things but they aren't PA
I admit I was a bit kneejerk about it to start with, but I said 'passive aggressive' because the last three examples I've had of this were (both of them the first two examples). It turned into damn I just hate comment headers altogether and I got off topic a little bit. I also got into implying that they're never used legitimately, which of course they are, I've used them that way myself. So that's not what I meant at all.
If I say I hate yellow flowers, I mean I hate yellow flowers. I hate it when headers are used in an evasive, aggressive manner. I just made it sound like I hated all comment headers. Sorry about that.
Re: Uguu I hope I'm doing this in the right place oh welp
how is it pa to ask if a particular tag setup is ok or if it's ok that they're tagging with a particular character?
people are just being polite and asking bro.
let me guess, you're one of those absurdly oversensitive types who thinks every emoticon is pa too instead of someone trying to make it clear they're joking around or conveying their mood because text can be easy to misunderstand sometimes, ie the way everyone on the internet everywhere uses emoticons.

You do realize you're the one being passive aggressive, right? Not the people who do the things you're complaining about. Those people are just trying to be courteous.
