If I'm wrong for raising my concerns, the point of this platform is lost on me.
I'm wrong for pointing out the community was duped into voting on the attractiveness of an underage girl..? whut?
I'm wrong for trying to minimize potential hurt in people when their self esteem gets trashed because people are making fun of them because of some stupid ass cash grab game..? really?
While no one directly came out and was like "oh no, I am hurt" it was there. I saw it. And I'm CERTAINLY not the only person on this platform that is fucking sick of seeing steemsports on the front page.
My opinion is my opinion. Clearly some disagree with it. That's fine. I'm not here to teach anyone anything they already shouldn't know.. :/
If you're upset about steemsports, write a post about steemsports. Ask the community to stop voting for their posts. If you persuade people with reason and logic, problem solved. If not, you are over ruled by SP weighted majority decision. You have no recourse other than to get over it, leave, restate your case again, or become your own whale and flag the posts you think are abusive to the community.
What I take issue with here is you're accusing others of moral failure instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt. Instead of asking questions (privately or publicly) you make very strongly worded accusations. Instead, "Hey this could be bad from my point of view. What do you think?" might've worked better. I don't think you're wrong for posting your opinion or raising concerns. I just don't agree with the accusations and the (IMO) juvenile approach you took. Adults talk things through and ask questions in a respectful manner. Kids throw tantrums, name call, and accuse without evidence.
(For the record, I don't vote on steemsports posts)
There might be honorable ways to argue that steemsports doesn't deserve so much of the rewards pool. But the fact is you're drawing morality into it, and your argument that there's something morally relevant about these beauty pageants doesn't hold with most people.
If something isn't your cup of tea and the whales disagree, you kind of have to just live with that until they change their mind, you can't accuse people of moral wrongdoing because you don't like something.
@kyle since we are talking about morality, I don't think people should be cursing like you do, but I don't make a huge deal about it. I don't down vote you for it. I just don't follow you, read your post or upvote you because of it. Nothing againts you I just don't like cursing.
You're the second person to comment today on my language..!
It's something I'm working on. Being a tradesmen in my younger years did a number on what my active vocabulary is.. Generally I use expletives to get a point across.. Sometimes I've got more than one point in a paragraph.. So it ends up looking like what you try to avoid reading in my posts I guess.
My apologies if my sharp tongue has upset you. Wasn't my intention.
