- chewbaxxa 4y agoThey are just paying their respects.
- Symbiote 4y agoWhat does F mean?
- drexlspivey 4y agoIt's a call of duty meme, at some point your character is at a funeral and F is the action button and there is a prompt on the casket "press F to pay respects"
- jon-wood 4y agoStrong agree on that. One person doing so was possibly amusing, everyone else jumping on the wagon is just irritating noise, and I’m not even responsible for trying to sift through that for legitimate feedback.
- shadowgovt 4y agoThe point of the joke is that it's a bandwagon joke.
- DonHopkins 4y agoI disagree that it's a joke, because they're absolutely nothing funny or clever or original about it, but you're right that the point is to jump on a bandwagon, and it's intentionally ironically disrespectful of everyone's time and attention, which is also the point. It's really just a spammy childish 4chan troll. All Due Respect: Press F for Farce. Recently, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare became roundly mocked when images showed a funeral event where the player is asked to “Press [F] to Pay Respects.” https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/all-due-respect-press-f-for-farce https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/all-due-respect-press-f... >On the other hand, Call of Duty forces the player to Pay Respects for the game to proceed. It’s a mission objective just like any other, complete with an interactive reticle floating above the coffin. Furthermore, it’s embarrassing to ask the player to take this action explicitly. This is a military funeral! What else would you do, blow a raspberry? It’s no wonder players feel insulted. Ludonarrative Dissonance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludonarrative_dissonance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludonarrative_dissonance >Ludonarrative dissonance is the conflict between a video game's narrative told through the story and the narrative told through the gameplay. Ludonarrative, a compound of ludology and narrative, refers to the intersection in a video game of ludic elements (gameplay) and narrative elements. The term was coined by game designer Clint Hocking in 2007 in a blog post.
- shadowgovt 4y agoIt makes strangers type seven paragraphs when someone uses it. That one letter to seven paragraphs ratio is pretty funny when it happens.
- cobbal 4y agoIt's a low-effort addition to the dialogue, but it is a legitimate communication of a viewpoint. Who gets to draw the line of which comments should be nuked? (My view, the repo owner should (and maybe already has that power))
- tedunangst 4y agoWhy would somebody care about low effort dialog more than a year after the commit?
- DonHopkins 4y agoAnd my question to the github management is why can't any registered user report any low effort useless or offensive comment to the moderators, whoever they may be, like almost every other online discussion group outside of 4chan?
- hiepph 4y agoIf you keep tolerating BS then the BS will keep coming. That's why quality subs need moderators in the first place.
- klyrs 4y agoRequest a "F" emoji reaction instead.
