His weird obsession with juvenile material (like shit), and using terms like "douchefaggot" (which, honestly, just isn't that funny) put me in mind of EXACTLY the type of gamer we founded this community to get away from. This guy
literally embodies the gamer stereotype that made me so unwilling to game socially for years. His videos are childish and uninteresting, his "shocking" language is really more embarrassing for him than offensive to me, and his "dudebro" attitude and quasi-awkward over-the-top effort to come on strong in his app just reeks of the kind of person who would make me shove icepicks into my ears after ten seconds of being with them in Mumble.
When he was rejected his response was equally telling. Given the number of active and former military The U has, the assumption that we're a bunch of pro-gun-control liberal yappies* is laughable. Given that one of our
female players told us a story in her app of beating the hell out of a guy with a cane, it's trite to think that we're just a bunch of gutless pussies. And given that - apparently unlike this applicant - we can actually
hold our liquor when we drink, I think it's more his failing for not understanding that we reference alcohol not because it defines us, but because so many of us just happen to enjoy it.
This applicant's circle of failure is complete. He did not understand us when he applied, his app reads like a ten year-old's wish-fulfillment fantasy, and his response to our rejection was tantamount to an internet tantrum; all it needed was linked pictures of dicks to make it perfect.
Sad thing is, WAY way down in the subtext of his posts I think there might have been a pretty cool guy there. It was just so buried until an avalanche of stupidity that it never got the chance to see the light of day.
When the hilarity of this app dies down, it shall earn a sticky in our hall of shame.
* Well,
I am, but I'm just one guy.
