I was just going to leave this as is because quite frankly, I'm sick of arguing with you. We go through this just about every year and it's really gotten old. This might be my last post directed towards you, WeirdRaptor but I have to ask. Now I'm not trying to make fun of you or anything of the sort. I just want to know: why do you get so worked up when people don't like what you like? I really don't get it. Every time somebody posts something negative about something you enjoy, you take it as a personal insult and act like that person is out to get you or something. Remember the PS4 topic from a year or two back? I said nothing bad about Nintendo other than that I was more interested in the PS4 than the Wii U and that I was burnt out on some of their franchises and you made me out to be some evil Nintendo hater who wanted to see the company go out of business when 1. I said absolutely nothing of the sort. And 2. if I hate Nintendo, why was I on their side in Pokeplayer's topic about Nintendo copyrighting Youtube videos? Hint: Not because I hate Let's Plays. If I hated Nintendo, why have I drawn fanart of their stuff? Why did I mourn Satoru Iwata's passing and do a drawing for him in honor of his memory? I must really hate Nintendo if I've done stuff like that. Also, just because somebody's burnt out on something doesn't mean they hate it. Look how many people say they're burnt out on Assassin's Creed yet I bet most of them don't hate the franchise, just aren't interested in it anymore.
You say that I need to stop talking about Let's Plays yet to this day, you still hold a grudge against some Internet reviewer because he gave a movie you like a less than favorable review. When did that review come out, like seven, eight years ago? Almost a decade. The guy who made it probably either doesn't remember doing it or doesn't care anymore yet you still hold a deep seething hatred for somebody who doesn't even know you exist. I have nothing against any Let's Players. I don't know any of them personally and unless they've wronged me in some way then why should I care about them? I never said people can't enjoy Let's Plays. I never said you can't enjoy them. What I said was that I think Let's Plays are, for the most part, a fad. And that I don't think they're high quality entertainment. Nowhere did I say others couldn't enjoy them. I said that I don't get why some ninny screaming like a child is funny to some people. If I do watch a Let's Play, I'd rather see somebody give a genuine reaction to a game as opposed to shrieking at every little thing that happens. That's why I said I like people like Kr1tikal or even the Vinesauce dudes. Their reactions feel genuine and because of that, I find their stuff to be funnier than some of the big name LPers.
People are going to say negative things about stuff you like. Likewise, they'll say positive stuff about things you don't like. That doesn't make them stupid or idiots because they don't see value in something you do. People don't like things that I like and I don't care. That's their tastes, not mine. I don't think it makes them stupid or anything. If you can say negative things about what others like (James Cameron, Playstation, Sony, etc.) then why can't people say something not positive about what you like? Sorry but that seems pretty unfair and hypocritical to me.
That was quite a big post, I have to say. I'm glad I got all that off my chest. But what I said was not intended to insult you, make fun of you, or annoy you. I know I'm not the only one who's said this but you can be a pretty decent guy to talk with when you don't let your emotions get the better of you. You just get way too offended over such trivial and inconsequential things. I'm willing to have a discussion on LPs with you, maybe even see things from a different perspective but if you're just going to get angry at me and put words in my mouth so it seems like I'm saying things that I didn't, then our conversations, as well as this topic, might as well just end here.
