I mean, you're free to have that opinion, but don't cry when people call you out for being a dick about it (there's a difference between cynicism and just being a dick). You're completely wrong. Saying that I find something meritless doesn't mean that I'm decrying people from enjoying it. I've never in my life made a topic or engaged independently in a conversation designed to negatively promote that purpose. Because you are entitled to enjoy whatever. I literally was talking about why I myself and only me in this instance am choosing not to participate in something. I'm going to use opinion-based language when explaining that. If your problem is that I didn't say "But it's totally okay for everyone to like what they like!" after every post when I constantly try to explain to people elsewhere that it's fine to have whatever opinion on whatever genre or medium you want, then you clearly don't know me as a user. And yes, I have a problem being called a dick for this. I CONSTANTLY at my shop push every single item I have. And that includes Sailor Moon stuff. And that includes Dragon Ball stuff. I try to encourage every customer in pursuing whatever story engages them. Like, that is my schtick. So when you say I'm crying about it (which is really, essentially a troll tactic to push me to continue talking about this), you're not accurate. I'm saying "I know this is something that causes a negative feedback loop for me. Here is why - I have these opinions and they start said loop". I'm pointing out my mindset and why breaking that pattern is for the best. As you can see, I engage too often. I'm a very defensive person. That's a natural attitude for me. I'm literally explaining in that post my point of view and nothing else. If my personal opinion about something is that it's trash and that opinion is a factor in something else, I'm going to explain that as a reason why I don't do something. This really isn't that difficult to understand. In the million of Star Wars topics, for example, I've always participated but never really said, "Hey having that opinion is terrible." I don't believe that's okay. Essentially, you're focused on Sailor Moon and I'm focused on me. I didn't choose not to play because of Sailor Moon. I chose not to play because of me. I'm not decrying Sailor Moon at all. I'm talking about myself and you're caught up in the wording of a guy who is not even that talented at writing. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:904357479] in 9/20 topic...

XIII_rocks 07/02/18 12:36:41 PM #64:	Yeah I didn't think the post was bad at all until you got to that Sailor Moon part Wasn't bothered enough to comment on it though, until now when it became a thing. Rest of the post was fine, then I was like "oh." It almost comes off like you really wanted to just make that criticism of both SM and the board's taste and the rest of the post was to disguise it and take the edge off, or something. And I'm not necessarily saying that was your intention, it's just really bad wording.

scarletspeed7 07/02/18 12:54:15 PM #68:	This all right here is exactly why I don't participate in Save Mys like this anymore. I'm trying to explain in my own words, as best as I can, why something that is clearly abberrant thought from other people is a negative. I keep trying to explain it more and more clearly because I'm not the best with words and all I get is more fuel on the fire I guess because all I wanted to do was explain that something stupid that shouldn't get me worked up gets me worked up. And all it's done is work me up even worse because my honesty about Save Mys provoking a Pavlovian response of over-aggressiveness was not written in a way in which it wasn't problematic. I know that right now I'm just making things worse. And yet, I'm compelled to try harder to explain that Sailor Moon isn't even the thing. Yet everything I say just seems to propel this whole fucking Sailor Moon situation like that was the reason I stopped participating. Note that I'm not saying I'm a victim here or that you all have done something you shouldn't. It's just interesting how it mirrors. I stopped playing in these a while ago because of Save My Undead. Sailor Moon is an example. If you named any non-comic thing, it would bother me to some extent. Because my mindset in Save Mys gets super-competitive. I really am asking this from the bottom of my heart, guys. Like, I know I'm a worthless fucking user. I get that. All I wanted was to share about how something causes me to spiral into a weird, pointless depression for no discernable reason because of this irrational attitude I have about something. Because it's not a healthy attitude to have; I was trying to show that a blocked something for a similar reason to why I blocked Ulti. I just wanted to talk about how when I have these unhealthy responses to things that don't reflect me when I'm not piqued emotionally, it's best for me to excise those things from my daily board viewing habits. Instead, because of one sentence, that's been ignored. I appreciate that you all want to explain how that sentence was the problem, but instead of maybe offering other feedback on something that literally causes me grief, I've found the opposite. I never find any support on this board outside of the guys in gauntlet crew and sporadically like wrestling topics. And I don't mean support for my opinions. That's whatever. They're opinions. I was hoping that maybe sharing that would maybe be a little eye-opening on why I quit Save Mys. It brought out the worst person in me, and it propelled negative ideology. I'm not "backpedaling". I'm just trying to explain that this one sentence is a demonstration of how my thinking gets in Save Mys. I know I'm not the most intellectual user with the best grasp of grammar. I wasn't trying to stir anything up. I appreciate that you all wanted to leap to the defense of something you care about, just as I was talking about with comics. My issue, I guess, is that I can't let go of things and that I'm not very well-spoken. I'm a stupid and overly passionate person. I can see these things from a distance. When I try to explain them, I fail. I respect that other people disagree with how I explained myself. I'm sorry I've let so many of you on this board down with my comments. I just wanted to talk about something that's been a problem for me. I got defensive at the response, and I'll apologize again. I just wish that one time when I post stuff like this, someone would maybe understand a little bit, but I wouldn't want to presume that anyone else would. I'm a bit weird, I realize. Hell, I got upset at the slycooper alt for no reason. I got upset when cyclo called me the worst user on the board. I get too engaged and can be overly sensitive. I'm sure this is just as incoherent, and I really should have stopped when I wanted to. I don't think what I expect of the board is reasonable nor realistic and I certainly don't meet the standards of the board in a lot of respects. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:904359282] in 9/20 topic...

I honestly get the feeling of not wanting to participate in a contest because it's clear that your favorites aren't going to win, I get it. It's just that the way you worded it sounded very much like you were invalidating all opinions other than your own, and then go on to say that you want to be "all inclusive." I don't think it was Sailor Moon either. That was just the example that you used.

It's just that the way you worded it sounded very much like you were invalidating all opinions other than your own, and then go on to say that you want to be "all inclusive." I don't think it was Sailor Moon either. That was just the example that you used. It could have been Mr. Incredible or Viewtiful Joe or any other non-comic character that has a legitimate backing and every right to be in the contest and it would have gotten the same response.</quote> ...

Seriously though... there are worse things than to be called pretentious once in a while. Don't worry about it. I think the big issue of misunderstanding, more than Sailor Moon in particular, was you using your insult thesaurus to say "equally frivolous and meritless" because if you're using that expression it does imply that whatever is on the other side lacks some sort of value objectively rather than it just being something you don't personally like much. And to further aggravate the situation, when you're talking something like Super Heroes, for anyone who isn't as super into the medium as you are, it's going to come off as ridiculous because for a lot of people the entire genre could come off as "frivolous"-- so what I'm saying is to call Sailor Moon that implies a lot more for those kind of people than to someone like you. --- No problem!

One thing I've noticed (on this board mostly, but it probably applies in general too) is that people get more defensive and offended about somebody disliking something the more articulate the person is who dismisses it. If you casually trash something people feel comfortable reacting with "well that's just, like, your opinion, man", and don't pay it much heed. But when an argument is erudite and eloquent, regardless of how important the media in question is to the greater whole of the debate, people tend to feel (at least how I see it) that a good deal of effort and thought has been put into destroying their or someone's else's beloved, and take it more personally without good cause. I've seen people trash Sailor Moon a dozen times here. I've seen so many works derided as schlock or overrated or garbage, yet the vast majority of the time people who like those media are reasonable in response, or just don't care. The only times I really see people get more than a little upset at another opinion is when scarlet posts something, when somebody else makes a well thought-out point, or when I state my Marvel opinions (and I'm a little purposefully iconoclastic). people, chill. it was an opinion. you dont need to feel so attacked because he put fancy words and well-constructed grammar around it.

scarletspeed7 07/02/18 2:31:03 PM #96:	Mr Lasastryke posted... i said that as a response to your "worthless user" quote. i probably did misunderstand you but i do give a fuck. if i wouldn't have given a fuck i wouldn't have made that post. Admittedly it fell in a deluge of posts all saying the same thing and really not actually looking at what I was trying to say (which you already had been a part of), so I wasn't that interested in parsing you as separate from the crowd since the crowd wasn't interested in parsing out the thoughts in my post at that point. I won't block you right now because I've calmed down a lot from earlier (I'm sure the world was waiting with bated breath to hear the results of the potential blocking). One thing I've noticed about the board from this, really, is there is a syndrome of trying to take apart the easiest aspect of an argument because it's generally afraid of or disinterested in, the more complicated aspects. Sometimes arguments can't be won like they are debates. I've said this a lot on the board over the year, but we have to find a little grace in ourselves on this board if we want to be good neighbors, you know? If someone posts in good faith, we should either respond in kind or not at all. I know when I lost my previous job, I made a long-winded post. I got an immediate deluge of armchair quarterbacks who couldn't wait to reiterate that I had made a mistake (which I freely admitted). What I needed was support. I eventually found it. There were several users (a couple are even in this thread) who offered constructive help or just a "Hey, that sucks, I'm sorry". I thought about that over the last few minutes and compared it to this instance, and the similarity is haunting. There is a natural predisposition to win on this board. Not every post is an argument or a debate. Sometimes it's a cry for help. It's a call for assistance, and the board just doesn't immediately latch on to that. Some of that is my posting style, which we've been over ad nauseum, but my point is that we as a board are all party to sometimes ignoring the character and content of a post and cherry-picking a piece of it in order to find a victory when there is no victory to be had. And it must be quite a hollow one when a person is trying to talk about why they quit doing something that has been a large facet of board experience and you're all talking about how their diseased mindset they're decrying in the post is a diseased mindset. I'm not absolving myself of blame, of course. I didn't explain that Sailor Moon example as eloquently as I could have (namely clearly citing it as an example of the thinking that bothered me and spiraled further). To tell you the truth, I have forum games blocked and I don't even know if it's in the contest. I blocked it as soon as charon said Superheroes was the next category up. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:904364551] in 9/20 topic...

These types of people have egos so massive(yet starved) that even acknowledging them can be considered a "win". They "win" because they can prove to you that they exist. Best to just ignore them and let them have their meaningless victory. There's not enough time in the day to deal with such people.
