Current Events > People who defend a corporation like it's their best friend...

(+) Yeah! (+)

These people kill me. Theyre like glue eating morons. They literally must be the loneliest losers on the Earth. Imagine having your entire self worth wrapped up in a corporation.

Im currently arguing with some twit on reddit whos actually arguing in favor of HBO Maxs anti-consumer bullshit. Its like I just insulted his girlfriend. And every subreddit is filled with these people.

You might think this madness was limited to nerds pledging their souls to Nintendo or Sony. But no, for as long as Ive been alive, dumb red necks have been attacking each other over Ford vs Chevy.

Corporations dont care about you! They cant because theyre not a person. Nintendo isnt going to call you up and be like, Yo bro, I saw what you said about me on the internet. You want to hang out?

Which corporation fan boys piss you off the most?

@Veggeta_X

im sure you'll want to defend capcom's honor

---

Yeah

To this day I still don't understand why does people defense any corporation.

Do they get paid if they defense it?
---

I'm curious now, what anti-consumer thing did HBO do with HBO max?

The apps dont work. They lose content. And if you bought HBO Max through Hulu then neither company tells you that you only get about half the content despite paying full price. To view everything youre paying for you have to exit Hulu, enter your Hulu password into the HBO Max, and choose Hulu as your content provider. But Hulu never tells you what content youre missing. They just act like it doesnt exist.

Don't get it through Hulu and sub directly with HBO?

Then youre stuck on the inferior crashing app that has locked up content that doesnt play. Oh, and the last episode of Doctor Who still doesnt show up on the PS4 version of the app.

Corporations sell me cool shit. What the fuck have you ever done?

---

Nintendo fans are probably the worst but really any console fanboying is just fucking lame.

---

Kind of need context because this is definitely a both sides are just as horrible situation, shills that will defend anything and people who literally take the time to hate on something for any reason because they lack any other defining personality traits.

It works perfect on my Series X

I can't fathom how people can believe corporation stances for issues on social media. They literally only do that because it brings in more consumers and profit. None of them actually give a fuck about any of these issues >_> Literally if market research showed they could make 0.1% more profit by praising Hitler and saying the n-word, they would totally do it lol.

People who legit believe corporations are sincere on this stuff should be seriously checked for mental illness.

---

It honestly disgusts me to see corporations chime in on social issues because all it is is them trying to exploit and manipulate it for their own profit. It sickens me.

How would you know if something was missing? I didnt get a warning flag when a Doctor Who episode was missing off mine. It just wasnt there. So how do you know its working perfectly on yours? You dont. You cant.

This is something that I never understood. People will defend corporations and rich people in general when they are poor as well. Also I need to cancel HBO Max. So thanks for this post. I got Discover + and for the type of shit I watch that is far better. (And that sucks too)

No. Theres no both sides. If they have a reason to hate then they have a reason. Theres no more justification needed.

You do know the concept of poor reasoning exists, correct?

you can always like a company and their products without coming off as a fanboy. lol

You do realize that hate is a feeling based on personal opinion and not defined by your evaluation of someone elses reasoning? I mean, do you really want to play this game?

You really cant. You can like products. You cant really like a corporation without being a loon. I mean, for one, you only see about 10% of a corporation if you dont work there.

It sounds like they and Hulu just have a bad partnership/practice in place and that the issue is really more with Hulu

Hulu didnt restrict the content to begin with. And Hulu didnt make the shitty HBO Max app that locks up and loses content. But yeah, Hulu has major issues too.

---

You're a shill of something

---

Its annoying

I actually made a thread on the ps4 board with an article about how Sony are so much more difficult to work with if youre an indie dev, which in turn is leadings them to just not bother with PlayStation ports at all and these people defend it.

Somehow losing devs and games is good to them because fuck everything not AAA.

I only game on PS, and thats why I want to call the shot out. I dont want to lose out on sick games.

---

there are some exceptions but generally i agree with you TC

but nothing wrong with thinking a product/service is badass and amazing

---

That's basically Twitter mobs in a nutshell, also hardcore console fanboys as well.

If your mindset is "how could you ever defend x entity???" and not looking at the situation on a case by case, youre not interested in whats right or wrong your just playing team sports

Sometimes people people bitching about corporations are incorrect or misinformed about whatever they are mad about.
---

Also my least favorite mindset: "why would you ever defend soandso, they dont care about you"

If you need concern to be reciprocated in order to stand up for whats right, youre a shit person

Whats right =/= defending a billion dollars company that shits on its people. Thus your defense lets them shit on more people. So you are the shit person in this case , helping them mess over other people.

You cant assume that a corporation is in the wrong just because they are a corporation

If you truly believe they are evil then you should be comfortable taking it case by case

I'm seriously the biggest nintendo fanboy ever, but I feel the same way when I see people defend them (or any other company) when the company is doing something stupid or greedy.

That is soem bullshit. Luckily I'm just using my brothers hbomax so I ain't paying for it lol but I was having a lot of issues recently where it would freeze up and i have to turn my tv off and then on again to reload it. Last couple of days it has been fine though. But I think the issue is more with hulu not selling you the full thing which is the biggest bullshit. Not that hbo max being crap lately isnt also bullshit.

Some people feel the need to give unconditional loyalty to something. It's a bit like blind patriotism.

---

It should matter what the argument is. But if they're just defending everything blindly because they like the products, yeah, they're playing right into thehands of their daddy millionaires

---

Are they actually defending the corporation or are they not bothered by something that upsets you and youre taking it too personally?

Because Ive definitely seen my fair share of that too.

---

Capcom is the greatest video game company of all time

---

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyymd

---

Especially the people who defend game companies.

Why do you care about their profits?

---

If their providing me with a great service and I've personally had no bad experiences with them then I defend them every now and again if I feel the attacker is in the wrong.
