What does this have to do with me, again?
Then embrace those who love your work and endure those who don't
Hate is a thing, not everyone is gonna like everything, get over it.

Quote from: Fancy400I think you should reread the article. Saying a game sucks is fine, especially if it really is a disaster. Critcism is a good thing, it's how artforms grow and expand. What he's against, and what we should all be against is personal attacks against the developers. People complain about gamers being looked down upon by society, but if we actively tell people to go kill themselves, that we hope they and their family die or are injured, all that kind of stuff just because they made a game we don't like, and that's considered commonplace and acceptable, they are going to look down on us. And you know what? They're totally right to do so, because that's how toddlers behave, not people who are supposedly emotionally mature.
Well considering I'm not asinine enough to do that in the first place I ask again;

Hey, while we're at it, let's stop death threats for Megan Fox, Stephanie Meyer, Edward Cullen, Michael Bay, homosexuals, Kim Kardashian, Jersey Shore, Pewdiepie, black people, koreans...
Death threats are not exclusive to the game industry, they're just empty words of upset children with issues.
Those people exist, always have, always will, and it's not something you can just flip a switch and it'll go away, what we CAN do however is just embrace the love whenever it does pop up and keep doing the things we love because we love doing it.
And besides, I think the people who generalise an entire community based on the actions of a few loud children are the real jerks here, if they're gonna pretend that there is no good at all, then why should we try to impress them?

The Generalisation (or rather Stereotyping) happens when the outsider sees it happen a lot.
e.g Americans are fat, Germans can't speak english, East-Europeans are violent, Asians are good at math and piano.
The Image moves with the community, hence why the old basement dweller stereotype is gone.

That's why it has to be mentioned.
Only the mention of it will move minds, slowly changing things.
That is why, Anita Sarkassomething, despite her faulty research, moved gaming.
Someone made noise before to have you live in the current comfort that you do, remember that.
Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet.
But it seems to me that what you're asking is the elimination of this behaviour by getting upset at upset people, and to me, this seems like the wrong way to do it.
What I'm getting at, is that instead of treating this behaviour like it's some disease that can be cured, we should instead move the community forward by acknowledging and ecouraging all the good being done in the industry, y'know, show people what we do want, rather than focusing on what we don't want.
Like, instead of giving publicity to Anita Sarwhatever for causing a stir, why not give more publicity to AngryJoe speaking of why Youtube's new policy is a problem?
Yes, bad behaviour should be mentioned, but in order for us to move forward, let's focus on the positives.
I think I've gotta take Wind's side in this one. You inadvertently turn these problems into jokes by trying to make them serious and nothing but. If Tumblr taught me anything it's that shoving problems into people's faces only makes them care less about them.
If we want to truly stop these things, we need to realize we can't.
Imagine if everyone thought like that in history, where would we be?
I think you're better off explaining that, considering you apparently know so much about world history.

Not my fault you didnt pay attention in history class
History is boring. The past is gone. I'm moving forward.

Because it makes us less likely to repeat our mistakes?
History repeats itself anyway. The only people the past has any relevance to is historians and I'm not one of them.

It works for me =U
History repeats itself because people refuse to acknowledge past f*ck ups, or come with some ridiculous notion that they're smarter than the people who tried before.

On a slightly related notion and out of curiosity - as an US American, do you not care for how the USA 'was made'?
Unless you're taking about the earthquake that seperated it into it's own continent, then I have no interest in America's origins for it is full of baloney

1) Are you jkid
2) No, I'm talking about US American History
I would hope not
Is that the story of the not white people and the buffalo?

I know, yes, but I couldn't care less.
