The same reason why a bank robber doesn't like a cop. I have been praised for what I do by multiple staff, and they encourage me to keep doing so. If I were doing SOMETHING wrong,
Is "snitching" okay?
By ColdRetro
According to
CrutcherClifton (2018) "
Snitches are b*****s sent by witches who fall in ditches and later get stitches and then never get b*****s."
By this, we can determine that someone that is referred to as a "snitch", is a cowardly person with malintent, who will suffer a deadly fate for their wrongdoings and who shall never procreate. At the moment, we know what the implications of carrying out such actions are, I believe it is important to explore the historic meaning of "snitch", According to
admin (2008) "
“Snitch” meaning “informer” is indeed an older word, dating back to the late 18th century." Here it is important to note that snitch indeed means Informer, and although this word dates back to an old 18th century colloquial lifestyle, the word still holds value today.
We can find the word "snitch" most commonly used when one person informs the proper authorities of someone's misconduct, and although viewed to be the correct action to take from the authorities perspective, this "informer" takes on a role a of "snitch" in the eyes of the community it resides in.
Now that we understand this fascinating piece of colloquial terminology, it is important we unpack 1pick's bold statement on
my introduction because im bored so yeah in response to an aggresive claim made by the newcomer kadenninja07 (2020) "
and I don't like the staff wannabe 1pick."
1pick decides to take an interestingly calm response to such a hasty comment, and with great philosophy, references the hate a criminal has for a law-enforcer in daily life, it is important to not confuse this statement as a literal one, as 1pick also references to "staff", of th
e InvadedLands Network, to indicate that it is merely a similarity. Although, an important matter arises here, where 1pick firmly take's a politically charged stance, of claiming that rule-breakers share similarities with criminals, and that he bares the righteousness of being in right in this situation. Yet, the question remains, is "snitching" okay?
Without mentioning the negative connotations this word brings, it is important to look out for examples of people who have been known informers from the InvadedLand's Skyblock community, such as TooCakey, formerly known as CakeMan710.
I choose this case because it is an interesting one, a well-known informer gone bad. You see, although law-enforcers and informers share the idea of the betterment of it's community, it does not spare mere men from falling into corruption, a clear case that fulfills with the statement made by Nietzsche (1881) "
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently."
TooCakey a well-known informer, after being called a "snitch" for months on end, eventually dialled down the informing, to only later become a griefer.
So, it is important to understand that even though it would be correct to "snitch" in every possible case, because the authority who we dearly "hold in higher esteem" praise so, we must also learn to have our own head about specific cases, for as people, we run the risk of corruption when we least expect it.
In conclusion, it all comes down to perspective, sadly I feel as though it is wrong if you wish longevity for your beloved status within a community, on the other hand it is correct if you wish to protect that very same community. My final opinion, is that one must analyze a situation and determine whether or not it is severe and damaging enough for the community, as to taint your reputation to become an informer.
