The people sending hate are obviously wrong.
But also, Sebby has built an environment where he calls people who disagree with him ugly losers. He compares them to villains while insulting their taste and their lives.
I don't care to hear his moral grandstanding.
Dear Final Fantasy Resonance fans,
If you want people to buy this game:
1) Don’t pretend this what people mean when they say Final Fantasy should go Turn-Based again
That debate has always been about the mainline games (eg FF15/16/17)
2) Don’t threaten them with violence
3) Don’t tell them to kill themselves
This may come a shock, but that doesn’t boost sales
Instead, try to sell them on the game’s unique qualities. For example:
-Art Style
-Vibe
-Story
-Characters
-Music
-Gameplay Systems
If they still don’t want it, then let them be
You can make a “gotcha” tweet that gets 2,000 Likes
But you can’t bully people into buying something they don’t want & didn’t ask for
@YoungKaiser3 "If the people I didn't like interacted in a way that is exactly to my liking then it wouldn't be a problem." This is not the way lol.
Look, Sebby can make jokes and be smug, but he also has to acknowledge that lots of people are going to be smug and make jokes back.
@YoungKaiser3 I mean, even if they are in jest they are also insults. The point of the joke is to make fun of modern FF fans
I also don't think it's harsh to be like, "I'm going to judge you by this edited statement you use to market yourself." If more context is needed he could leave a reply
@yohohoskulljoke I don't think proximity has anything to do with it, if I insulted you or Sebby unprompted in the guise of a hyperbolic joke it could still be hurtful. If you don't understand that I don't know how to help you here.
@yohohoskulljoke Hyperbolic statements can still hurt people, yeah?
The same way that Sebby can get hurt by the cavalcade of hate he gets. Again, not excusing people telling Sebby to kill himself that's not okay. But I don't care if he's getting hyperbolic responses back (within limits).
@Sebbywebz That said, I think it's clear you don't think modern FF fans are ugly losers. I hope you make that clearer going forward.
Apologies I misrepresented a joke as your real position.
@ghostsawcanns I'm going to be honest, my experiences with the FF subreddit are people closer to sebbys position than mine. I've gotten down voted for even pointing out that if you want a non-turn-based FF game you'll get down voted.
Probably a different story on the FF7r sub tho
@BeardMillennial@Sebbywebz Sebby and I talked it out, but to be clear I understand it is a joke. I also think it's an inflammatory one, so I expect Sebby to get inflamed responses back.
Not telling him to kill himself though, again not okay. No one should do that.
@HoagieBitingMan@Sebbywebz I never said it was, I don't think they're equivalent, and telling Sebby to off himself is wrong. Unequivocally full stop. I've never seen a clip of him coming anywhere close to using that language for other FF fans. People shouldn't say it to him.

@Sebbywebz I'm sorry people are being dicks to you online, like not a joke I genuinely mean that.
I also think you're a bit inflammatory and that's okay but I feel there's a lack of self awareness. You're playing a smug asshole online, some people are going to be smug assholes back.
@Docholiday0507 I wasn't asking him to grovel, just a clear, "Hey, I don't think that modern FF fans are ugly orcs or skaven, but I see why that statement is taken that way, sorry about that." Is fine!
I also don't think it's okay to tell sebby to off himself, I make that abundantly clear.
@Sebbywebz I mean, you can call it a joke, but you don't see how it could still be hurtful?
Again man, I don't think people should be telling you to off yourself in replies, it's fucked up, but to pretend like you don't feed into the negativity at all does not comport to reality.
@Docholiday0507 Oh, so I was right, he did call modern FF fans ugly losers, he just didn't really mean it too too much.
Then I just need him to say, "Hey I can see how that statement hurt people and I unequivocally disavow it."
And then unpin the tweet. Easy if he actually feels that way!
@Sebbywebz You call modern FF fans ugly, cowardly, and compare them to skaven and orcs. This has been your pinned tweet for months lol

I cannot believe there's people on this app that think FF7 Rebirth sucks because of a scene where they sing or something and not the fact that they bring their sick ass opening to a screeching halt to make you vacuum a room.
