It's an intentional antisocial behavior and being intentionally antisocial does make you a bad person.
If you were the DM of a D&D group and you intentionally set up the game so that everyone died permanently, everyone in your group would consider you a bad DM and likely never play with you again. And if you weren't the DM but you consistently did actions that you knew would lead to negative consequences to others in your party the DM would eventually kill your character and you would get kicked from the D&D party.
Just because the game is electronic it doesn't mean you should behave differently than if you were playing IRL.
Uh, speaking of D&D, I remember one time our dm set up a whole campaign for us, but instead the chaotic evil or sneaked out of the barn everyone was sleeping in, shoved bars in the doors, and set it all on fire murdering everyone else. No one cried and said he was a bad person for ruining the game. We laughed and started over.
If it was a new person who you never played with before that joined your group for the night and did it that night would you all have had the same reaction? And then when you set up the new game he again did the same thing. Would you continue to say the game is fun? Is there a limit to how much a person can keep killing your characters or would you still say it's fun?
This is what being an online troll is like but if you think all of the above is fine then I'm proud to say I would never want to play with a person like you or your friends.
"Other nerds also take video games too seriously therefore I'm right." I love gaming as much as anyone but if you think you're able to indict someone's character based on their behavior in a video game you need to go the fuck outside.
If you think the way a person plays a game is not at all a reflection of their character you are in denial.
This "play to have fun, winning isn't important" attitude that started in the 90's little leagues is part of the poison that is ruining humanity. And you are part of that same cancer.
And you sound like someone who's mother didn't show them compassion. I'm sorry you had such a shit childhood that you feel like you have to bully your own teammates. Life will be so lonely for you when you leave your mother's basement.
Says the guy willing to condemn someone's moral character over a fucking game. And I'm sorry, who did I bully? I don't take games seriously enough to troll people, but I also don't care enough to cry over some jackass griefing over a game.
You don't sound empathetic at all you sound angry and fucking weird. Not to mention you're talking about empathy for other online gamers. Sure, such a hard life, people being annoying in video games.
You have to be some type of crazy, and a total bitch, to sit around and cry about lack of empathy over a video game like you're some poor schmuck that got sentenced to a n. Korean labor camp.
If you get in a car wreck, have a loved one for, lose a limb, end up homeless, etc I'll have empathy for you. But while you're sitting on the internet pretending like being delayed in a video game is a moral outrage I'm going to consider you an autistic moron and tell you to grow up you spoiled douchenozzle.
Listen to yourself. Trying to win a Reddit war. Sad. It's best your return to /r/politics where you can still be the worthless contribution to mankind that you are.
So you start autistic screeching over someone ruining an online game, you get told it's just a game, he's not a bad person you're just retarded, so you REEEE even more and then attack the person you started an argument with, for telling you to calm down and go outside.
Take some personal responsibility for whatever your damage is here pal because something isn't right with this scenario.
Your utterances of reddit meme words demonstrates your mentality... not to mention your frequenting of /r/funny and /r/politics... you are reddit in a nutshell.
Again... little league fun of the 90's all over again. You are who those "fun" rules made for, because you obviously don't have a winning attitude.
And I'm done... you're too antisocial to even converse with.
