Probably many of the newer players on ESO. They are new and don''t know anything. If a "microsoft admin" contacts them I''m sure many of them believe it. It''s actually smart Fozzybear is doing this now, during steam sale.

Rofl, then im right and you are actually blaming the victims, which means by your logic, rape isnt wrong, its simply the strong taking what they want. Fk man, can you make legend more happy?

Dude are you seriously comparing rape to some guy tricking people into giving him their 5USD videogame account passwords?
The victim in a rape cant usually help it, its something done by force. In this case people are giving their accounts to a complete stranger willingly.
A better analogy would be a guy in a bar tricking a girl into sex by pretending to be rich ...afterwards she finds out he isnt actually rich ....and she has to pay for his drinks.

Are you seriously calling stealing accs and not falling for it, survival of the fittest? And the consent isnt about getting ur acc stolen and fucked in the ass by fozzy, so thats irrelevent. Same as it is irrelevant that a girl consented to come to the party she was raped at.

None of this consent matters anyway, since its just survival of the fittest, so if u can rape and get away with it, obviously its all fine... By the way u apply this maxim anyway

Im not, that was gibson.
And Im sure he was joking (well kind of) by calling it survival of the fittest.
You should buy yourself a better sarcasm detector.

Im pretty sure he wasnt. And u can dance around it all you will, but it doesnt change the fact that you are both saying that the victim is to blame.

He defends and almost encourages fozzys actions by claiming he is carrying natures legacy of natural selection, drawing out the weak individuals from the whole through account stealing. And you are telling me this statement is supposed to be 100% serious? ...if so, you really cant read between the lines, can you?

umeu wrote:And u can dance around it all you will, but it doesnt change the fact that you are both saying that the victim is to blame.
Well, not precisely. At the end of the day fozzy should be banned and the accounts returned - but, yeah, anyone should have enough common sense not to fall for this.
If you left your car with the doors open and the keys inside, would you seriously be surprised if it wasnt there when you returned? It may be there. But it may not. Point is, for your own sake, you shouldnt expect every individual to be completely honest (note that its just as wrong to expect otherwise). Once again, this just common sense.
Its good to put the blame on the victims on these kind of situations precisely so they dont make the same stupid mistakes again, and likewise prevent others from committing them too (though, I insist, best would be if the wrong doer was punished too). Hell, theres even some good in that they learn this by losing a 5USD videogame account, instead of something actually valuable.

tl'dr How can one help people if people cant help themselves?

I would understand if you still disagreed with me after reading this. I cant force my opinion on others. But I hope now you can see my point of view.

No you''re right, I wasn''t joking. Just as the smart and the strong used to kill the less smart and less strong, fozzybear is weeding out those you don''t deserve aoe3 accounts. Oh wait......Obviously I didn''t literally mean that. Just about any time something negative happens between two people, both people are partially at fault. If a stranger says he''s from Nick and Dick''s heating and air and that he needs your house key to check your pipes, can you really be surprised when you come home from work and all your stuff is stolen? Most of the blame lies upon you, for handing over your house key to a complete stranger without having any idea who he really was. It''s so obvious that he isn''t straight up, because a real heating an air company would never ever ask for your house key. They would come will you are at home, at the time you had scheduled them to. In this particular case with this fozzybear, the victims are very much to blame. Does that make what he''s doing right? In this particular case I''m not sure, but just because a victim is to blame doesn''t justify a antagonists actions....

Just because it wasnt literally meant (nor so interpreted) doesnt chamge that it was a serious comment in line with the rest of your posts.

I perfectly understand what you are saying, and i dont see why your reasoning suddenly doewnt apply in more serious cases such as rape. When you go home with a stranger, you know that you are taking a risk, when you hitchhike, go out, fuck the moment you step out of the door as a woman, you know you are taking a risk. So is the woman to blame because she was wearing "provocative" clothing at an inapropriate time and place? Just because your actions were naive, doesnt mean you did something wrong. You may have neen irresponsible and therrfore legally liable but this doesnt make your actions immoral which you two imply by saying such retarded things as the victim deserved it. People who are still capable of such naive trust and goodheartedness should be treasured and protected instead of laughed at and shamed because of their misfortune. Those who prey upon innocence should be punished harder instead of less because the other person is to "blame" as well...

Giving your password to a stranger in an online game is consensual (so to say). Rape is not. Not sure why you insist on this subject.

Sigh. You still dont get it. This is not about your naive actions being inherently immoral, its about you taking responsibility for them. Morality doesnt apply in this situation, because the victim isnt trying to help or harm anyone but itself. Morality of the victim in these kind of situations is as moot here as is the morality of a fish. Neither a fish nor the victim know better. But the victim should know better.
And whats so bad about being naive? Well, other than hurting yourself, you may hurt other individuals in other situations.

Well, duh, yeah. Where are you getting that we think the victim should be punished harder than the prey?

The rape is the end of the process, which compares to getting the acc stolen, not to giving the pw. Giving the pw is the equivalent of going to the party, since both put you voluntarily in a position where predators can take advantage of you. Its really not so hard... Your reasoning simply has consequences you do not want to accept. Which implies there is something intuitively wrong with it.

Blame has a moral origin and connotation. Same for right and wrong, so obviously its about morality.vwhen someone deserves to be punished its become he did something illegal or immoral, since its obvious that someone giving a pw isnt on the wrong side of the law, they must be on the wrong side of your morals when you say they deserve to have their acc stolen.

If the blame is shared by 2 parties obviously the punishment is shared accordingly, and the sentence thus diminished per person.
