In reply to the discussion: Misogynist Trolls Have An Agenda, And It’s Not Lulz [View all]Decoy of Fenris
(1,954 posts)I've done things that hundreds of thousands will remember. I've written articles that are still in use fifteen years after their inception. I've written (and re-written, and altered) history in one of the greatest, largest and most enduring games yet known to mankind. I've been published, cited and used as a source. My actions are both myth and history, and in a way, in -my- way, I've become a legend, a folk-tale, looked at in equal parts terror, awe, and reverence. There was a time when my words or thoughts shaped the lives of five hundred thousand people in an instant, and I could shape or unmake any creation.
Be it Dungeons and Dragons, or EVE, or World of Warcraft, or Warhammer, or Magic: The Gathering, or the old Yahoo forums, the Bolter and Chainsword forum, a webcomic or two, and even (in most ways) real life, I've shaped the world around me, not the other way around.
I can't say that I'm disappointed or that I regret any of it. Can you say the same for your life?
