@Llghtnlng_Blade They stopped saying that when Dexit happened, and suddenly Pokemon fans needed to strawman everyone who hated it as just fans of some random shitmon no one cares about like Stantler. And even Stantler must have SOME fans, considering he got a Mega.
@CactusFuturist I say this a lot, but Master Chief was America’s Mario. Imagine if Mario’s games got so bad, that Mario became culturally irrelevant as a gaming icon. THAT is how badly they fucked up this franchise.
@Killdust99@GrantGooch@sibirica@RetronicGamer The community manager didn’t write the scripts either.
You have no blue checkmark. You get literally zero dollars for ragebaiting with cheap insults. You only beg for negative attention because getting positive attention is impossible for you.
@DelusionPosting The right sees jokes as humor, while the left sees it as a weapon of demoralization. This is why the right can joke about itself while the left can’t. You can laugh about yourself, but you would never point a gun at your own head.
@SinnohJohn It’s harder to have sentimental value over games when everything is digital. With GBA and DS games, they had physical cartridges, so it felt like the Pokemon was actually INSIDE the cartridge.
@JurgenHabanera@ndogid This. Note how this level of shame is never thrown at Booktok readers who schlick it to 50 Shades of Grey or Morning Glory Milking Farm, or how the biggest female-targeted gacha game (Love and Deepspace) has naked dudes doing rape RP with the player.
@ItsDigi_NFT@reddit_lies It’s sad. 12 years ago, Reddit was the “normie site” that gave you a good grasp of the average person’s opinion. Nowadays, every site is either a hugbox or an extremist salad bowl. You need to talk to normies outside to know what they think now.
@JackofS35090847@Leaflit You think beating up criminals isn’t already law-breaking? It’s still assault, even if they did something to deserve it. It’d a bit too late to worry about following the law, so it makes more sense for his no-kill rule to be a moral code, instead of just for legal purposes.
@Lucyzilla64@N64iac And then Dexit happened, and suddenly Pokemon fans were like “Uhh, ackshually, my former childhood memories mean nothing to me anymore!” and “Your favorite was probably Unown or some shit” when it was Staraptor, who NEVER got added to SwSh and YES I’m still pissed
@raguna36@TheeGamur@santinolee5@Scratch_Point_Z You underestimate the dissonance that happens when two senses conflict with each other. People don’t like when the words they read are different from the words they hear. Imagine trying to read a book, while listening to an audiobook of a different book. It’s impossible, right?
@crateofstones@ShitpostRock At some point, you have to know that your audience are weebs, and thus like their anime a little Japanese. They know what honorifics are. You don’t have to remove them, especially when they signify character relationships.
@alorahdavoree@eneribehave Exactly. They’re calling them scum, and telling them to die. And yet you pretend cis is never used in a negative connotation?
