Why the GD community is cancerous

You know I was thinking of putting a joke here, but not in this blog. I’m dead serious about this one.

     So as you may of guessed from the title this blog is going to be why the GD community is cancerous. There are many reasons but I’m just gonna go for the main reason, idolization.

      For those of you who are like

I’ll tell you what it means.

Now I know what a lot of you are saying right now “I don’t worship any of the players” I’m gonna ask you a question right now. Why do you like players like Riot,

Krazy,

Quantum,

& Surv?

I’m gonna bet 90% of you said “‘cause they're really good at the game” or something like that. So you like them for a reason that has nothing to do with their personality, or how they view people’s opinion, or even if they're a good person! You only like them ‘cause they're good at a game you like.

     Not only that, the people that you idolize, have power. And sadly, they might abuse it. Take Surv, the best player in the world, although he quit. Surv has used his power against another player, using his large fan base to basically destroy EVERYTHING for a player, and all that player said to tick off Surv was “The world's best players have an unfair advantage with 144hz monitors. Us 60hz players can't beat hard demons, making most of Surv’s or Riot’s skill based off the monitor they use”. And Surv was not happy about this, yes it’s true that 144hz players have an unfair advantage. But it’s not that people like Surv just are naturally skilled. But instead of being a man Surv acted like a kid and just made a big argument ABOUT FLIPPIN MONITORS! And he won because of his larger fan base.

     Another thing about idolization is that people think that they'll only be liked in the community of they're good at the game. And I've thought that too, that’s why I started doing demon of the day. And for those who want to be liked but are too lazy or just not skilled enough at the moment to beat a certain level, they'll fake beating a level using cuts, invisible autos, photoshop or hacks. Again I've done this too with faking deadlocked using invisible auto one time because my friend did and I couldn't. Of course I confessed and deleted the video but I still did it. There are many people who do this as well like Cyclic

and SaRy.

     So that’s why the GD community is cancerous. And only you can change it. Let’s just go back to why GD was created. Not so people who are good to impress other players, but for a fun time, and a challenge. “It’s not enough for me to succeed, others must fail.” -RopTop. This quote is one example why GD is cancerous. As long as you succeed, that is an accomplishment, and that’s what should matter for you. Once you succeed, you should push yourself to succeed again.

     If you read all of this thank you, and I encourage you to share this and start changing GD for good (´･‿･`)
