@etymologynerd: This is also a kind of ritual!! See my video on that here: @etymologynerd on substack #linguistics #play #culture #communication #anthropology #sociology #psychology
that’s kinda why i find it weird when people say “how people act in a game is indicative of how they’d act in real life” like unless its exceptionally egregious i really don’t think that’s true

Good way to explain, why its accepted to insult or joke about friends. also a magic circle with totally different rules from the social norm

Sociologist here 👋🏾 this is a great concept! I always say human interaction are just bits with made up rules - people clash when someone behaves in a way that ruins the bit

Reminds me of how there are "facts" in fiction. Like if you say "Dr. Doom is from Latveria" that's considered a fact even though Dr. Doom isn't real.

I crash out when I’m playing pvp games with friends and they try too hard, like you’ve got to try a bit sometimes but also not try to hard to kill someone but also put some effort in
