[QUOTE=Mbbird;43064502] be an "sjw blogger" by being a nice, intelligent, [I]informed[/I] person. not by going out of your way to instigate shit. ("you" used to refer to no one in particular").[/QUOTE] Nobody wants to listen to sensible people. Who'd you laugh at?
The upcoming PC port of Metal Gear Rising [B]will[/B] need a TF2 promo. Why? Because it's been played to death on consoles, and there needs to be incentive to buy the game a second time if Platinum wants to see satisfactory sales.
[QUOTE=Mbbird;43064502]nobody is anti-tumblr, and if they are, they're stupid because with how tumblr is set up, you literally can't be anti-tumblr without being anti-earth, or anti-universe, or etc. people are only anti-dramaqueen-sjw-blog. if you want an analogy, there's people being nice, and there's some people being creepy-needy. extremists of [I]any party[/I] ever in existence are going to be looked down upon by the majority. be an "sjw blogger" by being a nice, intelligent, [I]informed[/I] person. not by going out of your way to instigate shit. ("you" used to refer to no one in particular").[/QUOTE] I hate doing devil's advocate, but I think milkncooki is referring to people that scapegoat the site for trivial reasons - that does occur, because people will want to pick something to gripe about. I don't see where you're going with comparing this to 'anti-earth'.
[QUOTE=Ownederd;43068569]I hate doing devil's advocate, but I think milkncooki is referring to people that scapegoat the site for trivial reasons - that does occur, because people will want to pick something to gripe about. I don't see where you're going with comparing this to 'anti-earth'.[/QUOTE] I just say that because the site contains such an infinitely broad spectrum of people, opinions, and ideas that you cannot possibly hate the site without hating everything. It's like hating blogspot or something.
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;43064466] I think people who cry and whine about tumblr users are astronomically retarded. Like, people ironically going "im so done with this site XDD" Are people really that irritable that they get upset when they see somebody participating in a common trend on a site that they aren't a part of? Facepunch users would ridicule somebody if they called someone off for not liking facepunch's retarded-ass memes.[/QUOTE] It's quite possible that Facepunch's trends are ridiculed by other communities; hell, even Facepunchers make fun of them (just as Tumblr users make fun of Tumblr trends, eh?). Tumblr users probably don't like that kind of Tumblr mockery, just as you claim a Facepunch user would lash out against somebody ridiculing a Facepunch trend. The "I'm so done xDDD" isn't a trend. It's ridicule, and it's stupid ridicule at that. [QUOTE] People using "tumblr SJWs" to invalidate movements for minority rights are fucking idiots too. [/QUOTE] Never have I seen any minority rights movement actually be invalidated by the "Tumblr SWJ" argument. It's a slight exaggeration. Yes, Tumblr SWJs are obnoxious and are generally disliked for this obnoxiousness, but I don't think it's ever been so far as to invalidate a movement. [QUOTE]This isn't even entirely about the anti-tumblr thing, too, I really hate a lot of peoples' opinions on this site. The amount of straight up [I]hate[/I] and [I]intolerance[/I] here is really distressing.[/QUOTE] I will partially agree with you on this. Hate is everywhere, so the fact that you're representing it as Facepunch being essentially a hateful, intolerant group is hugely fallible. A lot of the people I see here stand up for these minorities or whomever the topical oppressed is. Don't even begin to single out Facepunch because of something that literally every other social medium or forum site suffers from. [QUOTE]Like, you have [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1330414&p=43058835&viewfull=1#post43058835]a moderator saying they'd knock somebody out somebody and getting 40 agrees[/url][/QUOTE] Is it not okay to lash out against the kind of shitty treatment mentioned in the thread? Also, the fact that it's a moderator doesn't change anything; they're people, just as you and I are. [QUOTE]or [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1330388]people celebrating somebody's death[/url] just today.[/QUOTE] [t]http://puu.sh/5C489.jpg[/t] Look at all of the people who agree with this post, which is certainly not celebrating her death. And, again, mean and terrible people exist everywhere. Don't single Facepunch out. [QUOTE] Like, facepunch likes to say it's liberal by supporting gay rights, but I think otherwise when I see morons saying "they're not [I]really[/I] a woman"[/QUOTE] Yet again, hate exists everywhere. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you also seem to be implying that liberals have to support transgender rights. That is an uneducated and untrue statement. [QUOTE] or "gypsises are a bunch of thieves"[/QUOTE] I've never seen this. I'm not saying it hasn't been posted, because it definitely could have (and I'm not doubting you). And, again, hate happens everywhere, and I'd assume that, just like every other hate issue on FP, there are also many people sticking up for the minority. [QUOTE]or people with porn/hentai/boob/ass avatars going into threads telling people to shut up about sexism[/QUOTE] I don't know where you're going with this. It's not sexist to have a boobs/ass/hentai avatar, just as it's not sexist to have an avatar of a shirtless man. I fully support equal rights for every gender, and if I went out and got a hentai avatar my stance would not change. [QUOTE]Wouldn't it be more approrpiate for those users to use facepunch's favorite insult: "scum?" No wait it's not racist, [I]they're acting like monkeys.[/I]. lmfao.[/QUOTE] Stop shitposting. This only weakens your argument with a stupid, unnecessary ad-hominem addition. [QUOTE]I can't believe a forum filled predominantly with nonreligious dudes is filled with so many fucking racists, transphobes, and just flat out sociopaths.[/QUOTE] What does nonreligion have to do with anything in this argument? Racism and transphobia are common, unfortunately. Also, your usage of "sociopath" is really edgy there; it almost seems as if you don't know what sociopathy is. [QUOTE]I swear, I haven't gone a day on this forum without seeing a hilarious racist or intolerant user, I mean I just randomly clicked on a thread and look. [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1330387[/url] funny "xDD SJWW!1!!" meme in the title and 40 funny ratings, for an article [I]about a legitimate issue that affects people who are in desperate need of emergency contraceptives and/or were [B]fucking raped [/B][/I].[/QUOTE] I cannot defend that thread, to be honest. It's objectively pretty terrible. But you can't really expect every thread to be of decent quality. [QUOTE]What the fuck? I think of a bunch of seals trying to impress each other with funny topical zingers when I see these stupid threads filled with people shitting on people they've never met and don't care about.[/QUOTE] Because other news outlets [i]definitely[/i] aren't the same way. Again, you're specifically attacking Facepunch for something not unique to us. If you look at the threads beyond the first post after the OP, a lot of the time there is decent discussion. What exactly are you getting at? [QUOTE]Facepunchers have empathy for old people that were killed or some guy who got in trouble because of his stupid bitcoins or videogames, but when it's somebody who's a target of the ~monthly memes~, suddenly it's a big fucking joke. Why can't people have empathy? Why are people nowadays so goddamn apathetic?[/QUOTE] This is very much a strawman argument. Nothing about it holds water. And what exactly are the "~monthly memes~?" [QUOTE]if you haven't figured it out by now, i'm not referring to everybody on this forum. i will shed a native american tear if somebody replies with the phrase "facepunch is not a hivemind"[/QUOTE] Your argument needs to be supported more. I didn't really understand what you were trying to get to throughout your post, other than stating that the majority of Facepunch is nothing but total garbage.
Boba Fett is a twat and anyone who thinks he is the best character in Starwars is also a twat
[QUOTE=R-money;43086274]Boba Fett is a twat and anyone who thinks he is the best character in Starwars is also a twat[/QUOTE] His dad was so much better, he actually did things, and he was used to create the clones. (Though he did a couple really dumb things, like killing the assassin when the jedis found her, why wouldn't you just shoot one of the jedi instead?)
[QUOTE=JustExtreme;43030970]Survival in GTA Online is goddamn boring and I don't understand why so many people enjoy it There isn't really much GTA about it[/QUOTE] GTA Online was a huge waste of resources and time that could've gone into fleshing out the single player.
[QUOTE=proch;43089604]GTA Online was a huge waste of resources and time that could've gone into fleshing out the single player.[/QUOTE] I do enjoy GTA Online but would probably have had much of what I enjoy intact if it just had the multiplayer modes separated like GTA IV. It's a nice touch having your own properties and personal vehicles I guess but GTA Online is poorly implemented overall.

And I think it would make more money.
Yeah if they developed it properly and didn't leave so much open to be exploited it could have worked as F2P with microtransactions I reckon. Well maybe anyway...
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;43089477]Because Jedis are hard to kill with bullets most of the time. Plus, that assassin wasn't going anywhere unless they carried her off for interrogation. She knew too much, so he made his decision. Jango Fett was probably the best thing to come out of Attack of the Clones, along with that kickass Bounty Hunter game based on him.[/QUOTE] That wasn't a bullet though, it was a poison dart. It's very silent, flies through the air quickly, if one of the jedi were able to dodge it/block it they could have saved the bounty hunter. If one of the jedi was dead, the other would have to leave the assassin to get away most likely.

Sometimes I think the Force is very overpowered.
Breaking Bad was good but it wasn't incredible or anything.
Team Fortress 2 has been pretty shitty during the past 2 years or so it's steadily going down the shitter imo
I think Clones > Empire. I have nothing against the Empire at all, I think the Stormtroopers are really quite awesome. I just prefer the starships, vehicles and body armor of the Clone Troopers. Specifically the third movie armor.
New Zealand is better than Australia
[QUOTE=Aj;43095104]New Zealand is better than Australia[/QUOTE] Is there really that much of a difference between Australia and New Zealand? The most I hear from this debate is people from New Zealand saying it's better and then someone makes a sheep joke.
Half Life 2 was just okay. I havent played TF2 since before MANN VS MACHINE Facepunch is too hard on religious people. (I'm christian)
I'm not okay with excessive promiscuity from anyone and I think it is harmful towards plenty of things in the long run. That's about as unpopular as it gets on a site like this besides saying something like, "THE FETUSES ARE SACRED PRAISE FOX NELSON MANDELA IS A FILTH COMMIE."
[QUOTE=Carlito;43095929]Is there really that much of a difference between Australia and New Zealand? The most I hear from this debate is people from New Zealand saying it's better and then someone makes a sheep joke.[/QUOTE] Honestly, if New Zealand were a federated state of Australia (and therefore part of Australia), the debate between New Zealand and Australia wouldn't exist. There aren't many differences between the two.
[QUOTE=Samiam22;43097262]Honestly, if New Zealand were a federated state of Australia (and therefore part of Australia), the debate between New Zealand and Australia wouldn't exist. There aren't many differences between the two.[/QUOTE] Do New Zealand and Australia share Abbot's government, though? That seems like it'd make a big difference.
[QUOTE=U.S.S.R;43097271]Do New Zealand and Australia share Abbot's government, though? That seems like it'd make a big difference.[/QUOTE] They don't. New Zealand has its own government, but it isn't like New Zealand's government is a huge improvement over Australia's.
[QUOTE=Carlito;43095929]Is there really that much of a difference between Australia and New Zealand? The most I hear from this debate is people from New Zealand saying it's better and then someone makes a sheep joke.[/QUOTE] New Zealand seems to be more left wing in general.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;43097337]New Zealand seems to be more left wing in general.[/QUOTE] Yes, which has problems of its own, really (such as the state-sponsored racism but please don't get me started on that) Though, really, the differences aren't that big. You can go to Australia to or from New Zealand without a visa, and it probably isn't a truly difficult job for someone to adapt to either country when coming from the other.
