Kid Triggered by Gamers Using Vulgarities So He Asked Police for Help in FB

Let me pose a serious question that warrant a controversy response: What do you do if you’re playing an online game, and the gamers use vulgarities incessantly?

Here’re the options cuz it’s too difficult a question:

  1. Tell your form teacher
  2. Tell your parents
  3. CSI them, online shame them and make them famous
  4. Call the CID
  5. Complain to the Police online via Facebook

Well, pretty sure many of you chose Option 1, which is the most logical course of action, but one hero has chosen Option 5.

Because let’s face it: how can anyone use expletives on an online game? That’s a sin that requires not just the police’s intervention but a change in policy altogether!

And so, someone has decided to take action instead of letting the gamers go.

Here, take a look:

If, for some reason you can’t read this meaningful post, here’s what he has written:

There are people in the internet trying to start a fight, even in mobile games. When they are unhappy about something, they will say all those “big” words such as “F2F fight” and all those other vulgarities. They will provoke you until they get what they want. How can you completely avoid them or stop them. Is it addiction or some other problem? Nowadays I find that in games, people are too agitated for a small matter. Even though I blocked them, they have other accounts to come and text with. I feel that blocking their account is not an effective way.

Ah, the irony of “people are too agitated for a small matter” is too damn high.

And by the way, what does “F2F fight” means? I only know that back in my days, it’s “let’s settle in staircase”…

Oh. I see. Very big words, indeed.

And looking through all the other posts, I can’t help but to laugh out loud.

I mean, this guy overused his data and thought of reporting Starhub for it.

This hero reported people in SCDF shirts smoking.

…and there are more.

My friend who’s in SPF during his NS even joked that he felt like a customer service officer instead of a police officer.

What’s this gotta do with the headline? Clickbait arh?

I know the headline is all about a self-entitled kid who posts on SPF’s Facebook Page for vulgarities, but honestly, there’s a bigger lesson here.

The police isn’t your nanny.

Got an issue with online gamers? Then just DGAF and keep on playing.

Use too much data? Call Starhub, and if you’ve got evidence that there’s a foul play, escalate it because you’ll definitely win. If not, stop watching House of Cards with 4G.

See someone in uniform smoking? Now, what has that got to do with you?

Because this problem is bigger than you’d have expected.

57% of 999 Calls Are Non-related Calls or Prank Calls

You see, you might be surprised to know that this year alone, from January 2018 to June 2018, 57% of the calls were not emergency calls.

I mean, yes, I get it: these heroes just posted on Facebook and it won’t have affected the emergency line in any way.

But if a hero can think that online vulgarities warrant a post on SPF Facebook, I can’t imagine what would have happened if a person said “eh you ch** b**” to him in real life.

So here’s the lesson: use your common sense. And look up what “emergency” means.
