You're a bitch.

I don't care if people like you get mad. I say "gg" because it means I appreciate your presence and the competition we shared. I don't look down on you if you were shit and I steamrolled you. If I got steamrolled then even if I'm mad, I humble myself and acknowledge that it was a good game; time that I chose to share with you in spirited competition.

It changed when people were snide and insulting about it. Shit like "gg no re" or "gg ez" are douchey shit for pubstompers.


The way I figure, at least nowadays, if you actually felt it was a good game, you'd type "good game" out in full, or at least say more than just "gg"

I mean, let's be honest, your time isn't so important that typing more than 2 letters is going to impede on anything. At this point in time, gg is at best patronizing as fuck.

"good game" is like a firm handshake after a match and genuine respect between two players.
"gg" is the equivalent of two peewee baseball teams lining up with their obligatory half-assed low fives saying "good game" but not really meaning it either because they lost and were upset about it or won and were little shits about it.

I haven't played many online games since brood war but I always said gg before surrendering or in response to an opponent's gg. In other games I just say gg after it's over, win or lose. It's more of a formality than anything. If it's an actual really good game I might elaborate a bit more or say "great game" or something.

I also say "gl hf" during the countdown, hopefully that doesn't offend anyone.

Recently in overwatch i have only ever said gg once in the 750+ games i have played because it went for 18
minutes on kin of the hill and we won the first round, lost the second then won the last in the most tense game we have ever had.
Everyone in the game said GG at the end because it was so close.

IF we have an actual terrible game and we all got absolutely stomped by the enemy team i have one friend who is the only person to say gg since he just says it every game no matter what.

This is me. Literally me. No other character can come close to relating to me like this. There is no way you can convince me this is not me. This character could not possibly be anymore me. It’s me, and nobody can convince me otherwise. If anyone approached me on the topic of this not possibly being me, then I immediately shut them down with overwhelming evidence that this character is me. This character is me, it is indisputable. Why anyone would try to argue that this character is not me is beyond me. If you held two pictures of me and this character side by side, you’d see no difference. I can safely look at this character every day and say “Yup, that’s me”. I can practically see this character every time I look at myself in the mirror. I go outside and people stop me to comment how similar I look and act to this character. I chuckle softly as I’m assured everyday this character is me in every way. I can smile each time I get out of bed every morning knowing that I’ve found my identity with this character and I know my place in this world. It’s really quite funny how similar this character is to me, it’s almost like we’re identical twins. When I first saw this character, I had an existential crisis. What if this character was the real me and I was the fictional being. What if this character actual became aware of my existence? Did this character have the ability to become self aware itself?

I still see what I assume to be respectful "gg"s on Pokemon Showdown, but that might just be because I'm a 1300 shitter who doesn't get into the really high tiers.

Because too many people got salty about it.

It's like how after a tennis match they shake hands no matter how shit the game was or how badly someone got stomped, like touching gloves in boxing, it doesn't actually mean you're happy with the game or you think it was better than any other game but it was done as a simple show of sportsmanship and camaraderie.

But whiny fucking faggots started getting mad at the term because they don't understand what sportsmanship is, then a bunch of other faggots saw that they could upset the whiny faggots with it, and it snowballed from there.

in mobas it really is used sarcastically more often than not. I played LoL for far longer than id like to admit and id venture to say 95% of "gg"s i ever saw were sarcastic.

Im pretty sure it happens in mobas because of the very long games and the fact that they are very snowball-y so you can very easily feel as if you have lost long before the game is actually over to the angrily sarcastic "gg" basically saying "you are doing better than me so as far as im concerned the game is already over but i have to sit here for another 20 minutes while we lose" and as you can imagine those 20 minutes come with a lot of frustration. Thus the reason i dont play mobas anymore heh

banter went out the window with the advent of normies. They either dont understand it (whih to be fair is pretty reasonable considering banter of the sort you see in online games doesnt really happen anywhere else in modern society) or they are 12 years old and take it WAY too far to the point that it's no longer in good fun but genuinely spiteful.

Its sad, but its time to let the banter go as far as im concerned. If all it does is piss people off then its no longer doing its job. Unless you are just a jackass who wants to piss people off, if so then you keep on going i guess.

banter in kids sports is pretty light generally, far lighter than the shit you see online. Maybe if you were a particularly skilled/competitive kid stuff got more intense, but i certainly dont remember any hardcore trash talk in little league.

It would seem to me that the sort of people who are into and skilled enough at sports to get to a point where legit banter is being had, are far and few enough that they dont make up a reasonable portion of the population and thus most people still dont have hardly any experience dealing with banter. In the daily lives of 99% of the western population there is pretty much no situation where "banter" occurs between strangers doing a shared activity.

Maybe it's the games i play but i don't find it offensive.

Whenever i hop on Reflex or Quake everyone means it in the nicest of ways and both players will instantaneously say gg at the end of the match. This is probably because the community is mature.

It's hard to gauge people's intentions from a line of text. Maybe you take it as such because you're an angry person and take anything with contempt in which case, grow up.

its mobas. A competetive game where the match will often go on for a full 20 minutes after 1 team has clearly won/lost tends to bring out the worst emotions in people and make you start viewing everything in the most bitter way possible......in large part because just about everything typed in mobas really is typed in the most bitter way possible.
