Why is it considered poor form to demonstrate your frustration over losing at a video game in front of others, even if something is on the line and the way you lost makes you particularly angry?
>>
>>719910296
It shows that you lack control over both the game and yourself
>>
>>719910296
smash player?
>>
>>719910296
>if something is on the line
what could possibly be on the line from winning a video game? The care and affection of a trans womyn?
>>
>>719910296
It's ok to get upset but getting physical and breaking shit is spastic low IQ monkey behaviour.
>>
>>719910521
Smash player.
>>
>>719910585
But I looked like a bitch on stream and people are probably talking about how badly I played. I can't handle this and need to vent.

Bump

>why is acting like a retarded nigger so wrong
Anon... really?

Crashing out is based, don't listen to these faggots. If you get mad you should go apeshit every time, to demonstrate that you are NOT to be fucked with. Scientific studies also show human males spray hormones and shit when they get mad, which will mark the territory as yours and make you the alpha male.
>>
>>719910296
people don't like it when they embarrass themselves in public. losing to them is embarrassing.
>>
Why don't these nerds just fuck each other's shitty crusty assholes instead of getting mad at video games?
>>
>>719910296
Men are not supposed to have emotions

>>719914102
This but unironically, just make sure your strong enough to fight off any aspiring Daniel Pennys.

Yet we're the only ones who actually play video games with purpose...

Humans, throughout their life, exist on a spectrum of varying impulse control. As children, we have virtually none and, depending on how we're raised, we gain more or less of it through education etc. in our formative years. Adults are thus expected to have some amount of impulse control greater than that of a child or teenager. Even among adults, however, the expectation varies depending on age and other factors, like gender, culture, profession, and the current emotional challenge someone is facing. Here we come to the point about video games. Losing impulse control over a video game is seen as equivalent to the impulse-control levels of a child or teenager in virtually all societies because video games are still considered not serious enough to warrant a loss of impulse control, even if you're competing in 6-figure tournaments. Truth be told, in most 1st-world countries, there are very few scenarios where you can publically have a meltdown without people considering it unwarranted. Philosophically, you can probably trace this back to the rationalisation of societies and the suppression of emotion, among other things, though we are currently seeing pushback against this in many countries.

>>719910296
it's an incredibly pathetic display.
if you're gonna act like a toddler and throw a fit in public, you might as well just soil yourself on the spot.
you're competing in something, show some damn sportsmanship and maturity.

you're a grown ass man. act like one.
>>
>>719911319
And reacting like that only furthers their impression of how much of a little bitch cocksucker you are.
You are not worthy of respect for showing your anger.
>>
>>719911319
>and people are probably talking about how badly I played.
They will only do that because your monkey behavior brings attention to it

Giving your opponent the angry hand in defeat isn't really doing much better, though.
>>
>>719917346
i don't think you should be competing if you're not ready for one of the only two things that can happen at the end
>>
>>719917346
You lost.
You're a loser no matter what you do, but if you show your anger you will be even more of a loser than you already are.

both are weirdos
>>
>>719910296
you sound autistic and annoying.
>>
>>719914102
this
make sure to scream as loud as you can and rip your shirt off too
>>
>>719910296

because 90% of gamers are on shrink pills
>>
>>719910296

remember with this generation, you aren't allowed to get angry or it's immature but you simultaneously have to walk on egg shells to not hurt people's feelings in a million other ways
>>
>>719921068
Who shakes hands like this? It looks like he’s about to kiss a lady’s hand.
>>
>>719910296
Misunderstanding the symptom for the disease. If you fall to the ground and scream because you found out your wife died in childbirth, you'll get nothing but sympathy.
Having a meltie over children's toys betrays immaturity and ape behavior. Having the mentality of a toddler is what's poor form. You just reveal it by doing this.
>>
>>719922410
A jeet
>>
>>719910296
Professional athletes with their blood and adrenaline pumping from physical activity restrain themselves from intense displays like this. If a video game makes you lose control of your emotions you have something seriously wrong with you.
>>
>>719914102
Don't forget to shit loudly and violently to further mark your territory
>>
>>719923027
Jeets think Ira some kind of powermove to have your hand with the palm facing down. If you ever have to shake hands with one of these unfortunate creatures, make sure you swiftly grab the hand and turn it so it's sideways or palm side up before letting go
They will seethe about it for the rest of their lives
>>
>>719923514
I would never touch a jeet but thank you for this information.
>>
>>719911319
if this is how you genuinely think then there's almost a guarantee that you'll be arrested multiple times in your life on domestic disturbance calls.
>>
>>719916551
tl;dr
>>
>>719910296
Lack of emotional intelligence and maturity, in a competitive environment it just shows lack of sportsmanship.
It is understandable to frown or swear a bit over a video game but getting violeand breaking stuff just exposes you as a thin skinned ape who can't control itself.

As the kids say, take the L.
>>
>>719910296
beta crashout
i love to laugh at betas crashing out in public hahaha that incel rage is sweet!
>>
>>719925129
>emotional intelligence
This metric has failed in virtually all replicable studies. It's basically just a cope from dumbasses that want to feel better about being dumbasses.
Same thing with the multiple intelligences bullshit.

>hurrdurr IQ doesn't real either
IQ is replicable and has weight to it, and when personality type and disorder, as well as mental disorders are accounted for, easily explains the differences between people.

>heh, you sound like you have low EQ
Setting aside that's just your subjective take, I'm literally autistic. I would score low on any metric designed around social ability, and does nothing to reify the metric's validity.

All that said, people that smash controllers are fuckwits.
>>
>>719910296
Demonstrating your frustration is fine, but if you throw your controller I will find it funny. Can't help myself.
>>
>>719910296
He who angers you, controls you.
He who angers you can troll you.
