"No. The same old story is the one we're meeting now. Self-righteous life forms who are eager, not to learn, but to prosecute, to judge anything they don't understand or can't tolerate."

My Letter to the MvM Community
To those MvM players that think kicking me last wave does anything, it doesn't... I always leave last wave to save my tickets since I play for fun. Getting loot and completing tours is not why I play MvM. Playing Mann Up mode gives me better teams in general than playing Boot Camp. If you get so angry because I ♥♥♥♥ something up and I mildly inconvenience you (because let's be honest, nothing I do costs you the game), then go ahead an kick me ASAP. That honestly works better than kicking me last wave since you're still letting me play every wave before that. Makes sense too, the more waves you have me in, the more room I have to annoy you, so... why hesitate? Kicking is pretty much the only thing you have to deal with these players that you don't like. It's the only thing that gives you any sort of power over others, as you believe... So if you're sitting there afterwards proud of yourselves like "yeah, we really stuck it to that Chromium guy" I'm telling you right now, you didn't... It doesn't bother me that you kicked me and it certainly doesn't when you let me stay until the final wave.

By the way, if you read this and think "Well obviously it does bother you since you're typing this out in the first place! lol!" when I specify that it doesn't... if you're willing to just dismiss what I tell you, then you are willing to dismiss ANYTHING I say so you can believe that I'm wrong and that you achieved some sort of petty victory over me by upsetting me or something. At that point, you are just being delusional.

I'll tell you what does bother me though, you guys thinking you're doing something good for the MvM community. You are not. You are the worst part of the community. Everyone else who isn't in your little clique pretty much hates you because you act like entitled jackasses. It disappoints me greatly to see skilled players act this way. I wish you were better than that. I wish you were cool. You to be tolerant and patient. If you were actually passionate about the community, you'd see bad players as an opportunity to teach, not to knock someone down. Sit down in between waves and explain what someone did wrong. That's how the rest of us do it. The rest of us don't try to just rush through the downtime like it's a race to see who can F4 the fastest. That's not what that time is for. Slow down and just keep your cool. Don't get so upset. Just try and seek an understanding with everyone else.

I know most of you (if you bother to read this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ monstrous wall of text) will just scoff at me and call me names and think there is nothing wrong with what you're doing. Those people are no better than the players that refuse to listen when someone tries to correct their mistakes. They are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and will always be that way no matter what I or anyone else says to them. IF, by some miracle, you actually read through this entire thing and actually reflect on what you are doing, then I thank you for reconsidering your behavior. Our goals are the same. We want to improve the MvM community, but I don't think how you're doing it is the best way nor is it just. Please think about it.

I've put my complete thoughts out there now. I would love for this to be the last time I talk about this. I really hope that this is enough. If not, then I hope others see this and are willing to continue further than I can. I hope that there are people out there willing to listen. This discourse is exhausting and frankly unhealthy for me to dwell on any further than I already have. I am done with this...

Thank you for reading
