| Dash_Harber 12/15/18 1:16:20 AM #35 | YourDrunkFather posted... Do you have anything better than "u mad" type retorts or nah? Yeah, I already went over that; - This sort of reaction isn't new. - Jerry is conveniently forgetting that people got mad over his show 'back in his day'. - The people bitching about people having different opinions is actually louder than any sort of 'outrage culture'. - Sensibilities and humor change and reflect the times they are in. The only reason people are mad now is because it's politically convenient to be outraged about outrage. Of course, I've already clearly stated all of this, so it's pretty clear you are just trying to pick a fight because you are so angry that someone might not like Seinfeld. For the record, it's a weird fucking hill to die on. |

It hasn't changed, it's just easier to find and share, now. I have no clue who you are, but the fact that you seem to have a hate on for some stranger on the internet because they don't agree with you is probably more a testament to the thinness of your skin than anything else. |

Pretty sure college students have always been a group that has had a reputation for questioning things like this, since at least the 60's. The whole hippie movement is pretty hard evidence of that. |

They are not there to help them win, they are there to make sure their rights are protected and that the trial is fair. What you are proposing shows a complete ignorance of how the whole system works. Even if we pretend that the entire system is wrong, then you have to actually prove that someone knowingly did it, which is even more ridiculous. |

You're entitled to that opinion but it seems weird to keep targeting God of War with it if you just plain aren't interested in the entire genre. Just can't let it go, huh? The entire point of the topic was that someone else didn't like the game. If anyone targeted the game, it was TC. |

Okay, how about this, I hate the genre because I find it boring and every single game I've played in the genre has felt linear to me and the story was boring or weak. Does that satisfy your requirements for commenting here? |

| Dash_Harber 12/13/18 1:24:00 AM #69 | Darmik posted... Dash_Harber posted...As I said, you are saying it isn't linear, but it's more linear than, say, Stellaris. I don't need to play it to know that. Maybe it would make more sense to you if you read it as, "it looked too linear for me". I'm not sure why not. Linear isn't a fucking X or Y. Obviously some things are going to be more linear than others and something can be more linear than X but not Y. If I say I don't like the genre because I find it linear, obviously I'm saying that it is more linear than games I enjoy. Obviously, that doesn't mean I think it's more linear than, say, an on the rails shooter. Really, though, all it boils down to is that your world is shaken that someone might not be interested in something you enjoyed. How dare anyone not like popular item X! |

Just admit you were trying to dig in at me, seriously. I'm guessing God of War isn't as open world as Fallout 1 or 2. Darmik posted... Nobody is going down your throat because you don't like the genre. You came in here and said it looked linear which is incorrect. Yes, everytime I say, "I don't like the genre because it is linear and I haven't ever played a game in the genre where I thought the story was well done", everyone goes, "NOOOO!!!! THE GAME IS AMAZING! YOU ARE WRONG!" and then says nothing to back it up. Whatever man, I don't like the genre or the series, I guess we'll just have to leave it at that and I'll just ignore any topic like this from now on. |

(I do think you're really overstating how much influence you have on those narratives and main quests though) Considering I didn't exactly specify what games, and that those were just the second or third example I listed (after games like Crusader Kings 2, which is very much like that), I feel like you are just trying to get a dig at me here. Darmik posted...
But I don't like action games other than multiplayer FPS's, so ... I get it, it's the best at what it does, and that's great, and I'm not saying it's a bad game or that it doesn't deserve the praise, I'm saying I have zero reason to play it and that it's annoying to have people constantly try and ram down my throat how it's a great game even if you don't like anything about the genre because ... reasons. |

Webmaster4531 posted...Dash_Harber posted...So you there is multiple, world changing options available to you with multiple different outcomes and the possibility to skip or miss entire large segments of the narrative depending on your choices? More like I enjoy games like Crusader Kings or Stellaris where the narrative is largely open, or games that are just purely games with barely a sense of narrative like Battlefield. There are also series like Fallout or Skyrim or Dragon Age or Mass Effect that largely ignore long, deep, linear narratives in favor of branching stories and missions (granted, not all entries in those series do it well). Then there is games with rogue-like elements like Darkest Dungeon that I love for the fact that the characters are largely blank slates I can project my own ideas onto. Personally, I feel like games that abandon gameplay in favor of narrative are sacrificing one of the things games are best at, in order to try and focus on something that is usually a weaker part of video games. Whether it works or not, is not for me to say, I can only say my subjective opinion. Again, though, I feel like I have to specify that I'm not saying it's a bad thing that games aren't all like that. I think it's good that some games are more linear and story focused. It's just not my sort of thing. I'm not saying I won't play games like that, I'm just saying that it's not my favorite sort of thing and I'm not going to go out of my way to play games that aren't really something I'm interested in (even if it's the best in the genre). I just don't get why people can't accept that their favorite game, regardless of whether it is good or not, may not appeal to every person on the planet. |

MarqueeSeries posted...Because being a gender that doesn't align with your sex is mentally distressing Why do you think that it's mutually exclusive? Can't factors be both biological and socially influenced? Also, why do you assume that the brain and the body are going to always agree on the proper gender? Your assumption is entirely based on the idea that your entire body and all organs always work with the same 'direction', but we have countless diseases and illnesses that are the direct result of different organs running contrary to one another. |

| Dash_Harber 12/12/18 6:23:40 PM #108 | rikasa posted... Their response is either that it wasn't a crime, it wasn't a bad crime, or it wasn't his fault. We are not even close to cracking that delusion. I was actually reading on Reddit about people sharing how Nixon's crimes were treated, and I imagine it will play out the same. If undeniable proof comes out that he is a criminal, and it's not easy to just hand wave away with some 'fake news' spin, then they will just all turn around and go, 'well, you see, all politicians are criminals and he is just the one who got caught, but he was a good president so I still support him'. If people are particularly invested, they may even try to argue some sort of double-think rhetoric where he only got caught because he wasn't willing to go to the same heinous lengths as his opponents to cover it up, or something like that. |

If they had removed it from radio play, not a soul would have noticed, but since someone had the audacity to say they had 'banned' it, it suddenly became a hill to die on. It's more of that 'war on Christmas' bullshit rhetoric. One or two people or groups 'ban' it because either they are going overboard, or it seems like such a non-issue that no on will care, and then these outrage culture junkies come in and start screaming and echoing the same handful of 'news' stories over and over until they've whipped their whole group into a froth-mouthed frenzy about how they are the most persecuted people in the world because somehow this song they never cared about before is somehow the most defining characteristic of their entire culture, either because they are so woefully insecure they think the song is going to be the carrion call of their entire belief system, they don't understand how culture works and evolves, they are heavily into identity politics and will do anything to 'own dem libs!', or they have invested so heavily in this narrative that they are special, snowflake, rebels who are fighting the insurmountable tide of borg-like imperialistic fascists that they have to constantly paint themselves both as victims and as heroic rebels otherwise their entire worldview is compromised. |
