Why all the hate for 14 year olds?

Because 14 year olds jerk off too much, to the point of damaging brain chemistry.
Of course, that never actually changes, but the hormones are worse at that age.

Yeah, I think they are universally hated. But the point of this post is telling that most of those... we will refer to them as "Gremlins", are a good deal younger than 14.infinisynth said:
Mostly because people that age or so have voices that are confusable for a womans voice via online microphone but noticably differ due the squeaking and cracking, plus they always complain more and holler into the microphone. Let's not forget the kid that brought us this:

Plus that whole immature thing. They team-kill more, blow up their own team's vehicles more, just a whole plethora of things you tend to not do when you grow up (or at least are less likely to do). They don't ever know how to play the game either from my experience. I play Battlestations Midway and one kid had control of the Yamato (A powerful ship that if destroyed by the enemy team causes your team to lose) and it is much stronger than the other battleships. There was a single enemy battleship and two destroyers attacking him. He still had a cruiser and a destroyer plus the Yamato and an aircraft carrier. Yet somehow...he managed to lose the cruiser, the destroyer and not sink any ships...then he sunk the destroyer and then the Yamato was blown up and we lost the match...I still don't know how one loses with odds so heavily in one's favor...

Errr... No.fluffybacon said:
I don't know where you got that from.
But I'm not letting you trick me into giving away my real age. That's sensitive information, dammit!
I did not spend six months lurking here just to give away all my real info in less than two weeks.
Also: Why...
Why'd you change your avatar? That thing made me happy.
Err. When I was 14, I was in a serious relationship, I'd all but finished puberty (early starter but I won't go into the realms of TMI) and refined my personality.
When everyone else was 14, they were whiney, immature, obsessed with sex despite almost universally not having it and rude. They also think they were the dogs bollocks and had pretentions to being grown up.
On here, 14 year olds make threads about women problems and complain about 18 rated games. I mean, I was in love when I was 14 but I was in one hell of a minority, but you don't relise that at the time. It's like... kids go around all the itme saying they're in love with a girl because they gave them a hug or whatever then act all heartbroken and you say "you weren't in love, when you're in love you'll just know and you'll think you acted like a dick" they don't see it.

I'm within this age group but I tend to respect the adults I'm playing with and I try not to act like a moron. It goes a long way.
My voice is tolerable, and the only people who comment on it intentionally want to stir up trouble; most of my gaming friends say my voice is fine and I don't get hounded about it as much as I did when I first started playing online shooters.
Also, I never swear, I know that annoys the crap out of some of the older gamers out there....
(Also, 500th post! Oh yeah!)

I personally don't just hate fourteen-year-olds, but I hate everyone equally. By the time I was in my junior and senior of high school I had a tolerance for maybe one freshman and he ended up becoming a good buddy of mine. But I think the reason no-one likes them, and I know this has already been stated, is because once they hit the high school lever they think they're so damned important. I should know, I was actually fourteen once even though that was... six years ago now. But I digress, once again this has been said, what it really comes dodwn to is the whole immaturity thing.
It's (you decide the tense) pretty much the same situation with me. All my friends kind of became jerks, but I purposely hung out with tard-faces.Contun said:
This actually does bring up a good question which I don't believe has been covered all that much (or at all, but since I don't look around much I can't be sure). Have 14 year olds of today, that is, the ones who do go online gaming and such, become significantly worse than the 14 year olds of about 10-15 years ago who did not go online, and if proven to be true, does this mean that it is, in fact, actually the internet itself which causes said problems to begin with?
The answer may be shocking to some, unsurprising to others, and not-at-all important to those who don't care.
Personally, I can't be 100% sure about the whole thing. I personally have seen that kids today are quite often (not always, but frequently enough) seem to be a lot more likely to go into swearing storms and crackly tirades about the tiniest things. However, considering that I generally just kept to myself and read books or played video games without bothering people at that age, I may have a slightly biased view on the whole matter. After all, when I was junior high, I kept noticing all the boys going nuts about sex and crap while I was trying to figure why it was such a big deal since I'd known about it for years and it wasn't exactly the subject was news to me (or news at all, considering how long sex had been around).
As for swearing, that was reserved for injuring yourself in a really stupid way (we've all been there), or for when a game decides to cheat you out of a potential victory by giving the AI an unfair advantage just as you're about to win. Oh, and music, swearing is apparently appropriate lyrical material for songs of a certain genre today. I don't really understand that, though.
