To anyone who made it this far, thank you. And please, I invite conversation because I plan on making a video about this after we talk about it because I believe that our scene will grow if we all start talking and using our platforms more to spread positivity. Thanks 👍

So why continue to promote negative ideals when we're just trying to play the game and have fun in our VERY limited free time that we have on this floating rock that we call home. I mean, if you aren't having fun. Why are you trying so hard for in the first place? (15/15)

Especially when it comes to trash talk. It is entirely possible to trash talk someone in a friendly competitive and fun way. If people don't like the way you're talking to them, stop. No one enjoys the negativity (14/15)

Please stop hating the player, hate the meta and just try your best despite it. And if this reaches everyone I want it to, let's just stop with all of the hate in our community and call out harassment when you see it from anyone. (13/15)

What I want to say is if we set a precedent in this community of what we are and are not okay with and hold those ideals and people accountable in this community, it will become wonderful as everyone wants it to be. (12/15)

And this is specially includes CALLING OUT BAD BEHAVIOR WHEN YOU SEE IT. Sitting there and watching someone get harassed is, in my opinion, just as bad as doing it yourself. And I'm not here to attack anyone because that just would defeat the purpose of this entire post (11/15)

The moment every player in this scene adopts The Golden Rule "treat others the way you would like to be treated" I believe we will become a healthier and safer place for everyone in the scene especially if we want it to grow. (10/15)

Why do we feel the need to have to harass and disrespect anyone for ANY reason? I personally think the whole point of competitive Splatoon is to have fun and make friends, then why are we belittling people so much over such trivial things. (9/15)

I feel like anyone should push any weapon *they* feel they have fun with and also perform with but it becomes an issue to where I have multiple friends who get genuinely harassed because of the weapon they play and it needs to stop. (8/15)

I'm using *this* weapon because it is *the best weapon* for what *I* need to do to win. I think the moment everyone adopts this mentality whether it be with a "meta weapon" or one that they want to push. We will see more players grow in our scene. (7/15)

I pull attention away easier on 52. gal because people hate the weapon and either want to stunt on it, kill it or whatever they want to do. I have been winning more games because people will throw themselves at me and let me do what I'm best at. Pull attention. (6/15)

I noticed this the most while playing X-rank. Because of people's hatred for the weapon, they don't respect me in the encounters I have. I say "respect" meaning that you should expect that every person you're playing against wants the same thing as you, to win. (5/15)

I am a Frontline shooter who primarily skirmishes. So, you're probably not going to be surprised when you hear that I have picked up 52. gal and yes I'm on the same page as most of you to where I dislike this weapon because of the meta (4/15)

A lot of my thoughts below came from hearing Chara pointing this out in the video below. I really want everyone to after they read this post go watch it because I genuinely agree and I'm glad that it is being said. (3/15) youtu.be/vx_ZijaKvuM?is=kHDZ…

First, I just want to quickly point out this Blue sky post last year from grey after our loss at the SWS. I just believe that it's something we should all adopt but I specifically want to add more on to the respecting your opponent part: (2/15) bsky.app/profile/greyspl.bsk…

I have been watching a couple videos recently and I wanted to share my thoughts and have a discussion about respecting your opponent and a weapon culture we've adopted so toxic that people are getting harassed over the weapon they play. (1/15) #Splatoon3 #compsplatoon #Splatoon

Do you need my shot? 😎

You know what it's okay we are all 14 numbers off sometimes

Holy shit

I know I was being silly
