if i hear about the fanbase of a product before the actual product, then any impact that product could have left on me is immediately shot down i have never played FNAF, undertale, hotline miami, the binding of isaac, spelunky, or any of those other really popular games, and i probably never will because their fan base killed any interest i could possibly have in playing those games im mostly talking about games here, but the same applies for tv shows. any content in general that has a following really |

--- Quote from: Marios on September 06, 2017, 07:12:50 AM ---So if you have to reach for 'the easiest thing available' to be 'attached to something', this means: 1) You don't have a pet 2) You don't have a lover 3) You aren't married 4) You don't even have friends 5) If you fit any of the above, you don't actually like/love them Or in short you're like the biggest nerd who spends all his time in his mother's basement, doesn't even get visited by his mother anymore and therefore has to be attached to his last resort, a fandom. And since fandoms can grow to millions of people, that means we have millions of millions of people spread out in different fandoms who have nothing to love or be attached to. Right? Thus said basement dwellers convince other basement dwellers over the internet that fandoms are the way to go. This paragraph has nothing to do the one above. Just because people with 'no real direction in life' attach themselves to a fandom, does that mean they constantly advertise their favorite work around? Why aren't there people wearing sandwich boards to show how much they love a particular show, without even working for the show? I love Ace Attorney but I don't go around shouting OBJECTION!!!, do I? Chances are the only reason you know I love Ace Attorney is because I explicitly mentioned it right now. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: IkeTheGeneric on September 06, 2017, 07:20:20 AM ---I like it how this was posted on a video game forum board. Does the irony escape anyone here? --- End quote --- Both of you fail to realize that the conversation isn't about "people who like stuff", It's about that minority of fans that drive it into the dirt. Oversaturation kills product. Yes, I was referring to the lowest common denominator: the people who call themselves part of a fandom and have no other real personality traits or responsibilities other than "likes _____". These people are the worst to deal with, and if you havent seen anybody like this then I need to move to where you live. Sounds like utopia. That second paragraph links to the first as the foil to my argument. Basically, "not everyone who likes stuff is like this, but these are the ones that ruin it." I also dont see the irony to this kind of thing posted in a forums for a video game. The only connection that I can associate with this, is that you think that everyone here is obsessed with Blockland to the point that we become a detriment to the validity of the game itself. Essentially, you're implying that by being here, we're all considered fanboys and I disagree. At this point, these forums can hardly by connected to video game they were made for. Now Im only left with the idea that by stating this you think Ive personally attacked you because you identify as a fanboy or somebody actively in a fandom. And tbh, I dont know either of you enough to dismiss that possibility. |
