[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;45260031]I think people need to realize that people can't take too much. When a group of people is giving a single person a hard time while also giving critisim, it's very unlikely that the person wouldn't take it seriously.[/QUOTE] When it gets to the point you're completely ignoring legitimate mildly worded criticism from people who aren't feeding into giving the person a hard time that's your own fault. When you do that you only make things worse, not better.

You can't just expect people to follow advice from the same people who flamed him a day before.

I've never harassed him about things and kept as much of my criticism mildly worded as I could.
I sincerely hope the USA wins the world cup because I know they would rub it in so perfectly.
[QUOTE=Alice3173;45260105]You should probably not lump me in with other people. I've never harassed him about things and kept as much of my criticism mildly worded as I could.[/QUOTE] Same thing applies. When you're in an emotional state you tend not to listen to things especially if it's related to what caused that emotional state.
[QUOTE=bdd458;45258319]I believe a lot of the Swog dumbing in WAYT is now just because he's Swog. Yes, there are times he posts dumb things, but honestly he means no harm and people seem to dumb him just for posting at all.[/QUOTE] Nope, he gets dumbed because he really brings down the quality of the thread (which has noticeably declined since he decided to start posting in there). We've told him numerous times to improve his posting and he's ignored us every time and accused us of hating him for no apparent reason. He never makes things easy for himself. [editline]1st July 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Ixmucane;45258338]Such a pity. WhiteHusky was in WAYT a while ago and he didn't get shot down because of his past.[/QUOTE] White Husky has improved quite a lot compared to what he was.

What is lurking
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;45261038]What is lurking[/QUOTE] Something swog should try
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;45261038]What is lurking[/QUOTE] I've never seen you lurk in there. Anyhoo, we really shouldn't be blocking up this thread with this discussion.
[QUOTE=Lordgeorge16;45257421]Graphics are just as important as artstyle, gameplay, plot, and soundtrack when it comes to games.[/QUOTE] People are able to enjoy videogames with some really really horrible game design as long as it has nice enough aesthetics/plot. Generally different people enjoy different aspects of their videogames, but this one rule is so universal it's scary.
Mushrooms are amazing. Almost every one I know hates them but they are so [b]good[/b]

I also hate pies Seriously
[QUOTE=The Jack;45258533]Porn is boring, unless it's vile; In which case it's just revolting.[/QUOTE] 99.9% of professionally made porn is boring and repetitive. How many movies out there are a fake looking woman and a standard looking guy. It starts off with 5 minutes of unenthusiastic blowjob, then they bang for the next 15 minutes. The guy moans too often and the girl sounds like she's faking it. Meanwhile we get a fantastic view of the guys hairy ass and balls. Then it's over. Amateur all the way.
[QUOTE=Ownederd;45260040]people who unironically defend loli have the biggest persecution complexes i've seen[/QUOTE] What do you mean? I think that loli possession (or even drawn cp for that matter) shouldn't be illegal.
Loli could be used as a replacement for CP by pedophiles couldn't it?
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;45260872]Same thing applies. When you're in an emotional state you tend not to listen to things especially if it's related to what caused that emotional state.[/QUOTE] Which is when you need to take a step back and examine the source of the issue. Which he consistently refuses to do over and over and over again. Though to be honest I'm not that surprised that you're not seeing this either because unless I'm mistaken you're one of the ones who tried to come to FilmSlacker's defense when people pointed out the same sorts of issues with his attitude in stgym.
[QUOTE=ImpSnob;45262144]Loli could be used as a replacement for CP by pedophiles couldn't it?[/QUOTE] And if that does happen, then no crime is done. It's not like you can sexually assault a drawing. I think the only time drawings become a touchy issue is if it's a drawing of a child that exists. Then you start wondering where the line gets drawn. But for loli none of them have existed or will exist, so nothing is really being hurt if people like it.
[QUOTE=Yogkog;45259466]Bayonetta is visually gross. Her long lanky legs are extremely unappealing and I don't understand why people call her the "sexiest" character in gaming.[/QUOTE] "buh-buh-but muh kawaii uguu~~~ japanese animes!!!!!!!!" No, she's horridly disproportional, and what's up with those glasses? Why does she have to look like a secretary in a skintight suit fighting ancient demons or an awakened god or whatever ridiculous plot they thought up of?
What does Bayonetta have to do with anime and anything kawaii? lol because it's an Asian game? also maybe she has eye problems :(
[QUOTE=Lordgeorge16;45262338]"buh-buh-but muh kawaii uguu~~~ japanese animes!!!!!!!!"[/QUOTE] How to look like you don't know what you are talking about in one sentence. [QUOTE]and what's up with those glasses? Why does she have to look like a secretary in a skintight suit fighting ancient demons or an awakened god or whatever ridiculous plot they thought up of?[/QUOTE] Glasses are a reason you condemn a character? I don't like the design she has and I agree with the disproportional aspect of her being unappealing, but glasses are a reason to think a character is bad?
[QUOTE=ImpSnob;45262360]also maybe she has eye problems :([/QUOTE] [img]http://cdn4.gurl.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/cant-see-without-glasses-velma-scooby-doo.gif[/img] ^ Bayonetta when she's not having her day.
Watching sports isn't very entertaining
[QUOTE]I have a lot of friends who grew up in the USSR, or Yugoslavia, who describe what it was like. You get up. You buy the paper. You go to work. You read the paper. Then maybe a little work, and a long lunch, including a visit to the public bath… If you think about it in that light, it makes the achievements of the socialist bloc seem pretty impressive: a country like Russia managed to go from a backwater to a major world power with everyone working maybe on average four or five hours a day. But the problem is they couldn’t take credit for it. They had to pretend it was a problem, “the problem of absenteeism,” or whatever, because of course work was considered the ultimate moral virtue. They couldn’t take credit for the great social benefit they actually provided. Which is, incidentally, the reason that workers in socialist countries had no idea what they were getting into when they accepted the idea of introducing capitalist-style work discipline. “What, we have to ask permission to go to the bathroom?” It seemed just as totalitarian to them as accepting a Soviet-style police state would have been to us. - [B]David Graeber[/B]([url]http://www.salon.com/2014/06/01/help_us_thomas_piketty_the_1s_sick_and_twisted_new_scheme/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=socialflow[/url])[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;45266628]I see nothing morally wrong with polygamy as long as it's equal[/QUOTE] It's a nightmare to manage from a legal standpoint.
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;45266694]It's a nightmare to manage from a legal standpoint.[/QUOTE] Yeah that's why I said that I don't think of it as [I]morally [/I]wrong, but yes legally it will confusing.
Weed is really boring and the culture around it is a joke most of the time.
[QUOTE=Lordgeorge16;45257421]Graphics are just as important as artstyle, gameplay, plot, and soundtrack when it comes to games.[/QUOTE]I think it depends on the genre on whether some of that stuff is important or not. At least with graphics. Parodox's real time strategy games aren't technically impressive because a. they cant (Paradox sucks with graphics in pretty much all their games, even in 3d ones), and b. they don't have to. Don't really need good graphics in a grand strategy game. But a good soundtrack is great to have in a grand strategy since you're going to be sitting down and playing for hours on end. [QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;45266756]Weed is really boring and the culture around it is a joke most of the time.[/QUOTE] I haven't tried any so I have no personal experience, but the effects sound really mundane. Seems to be like alcohol where it's often a social thing where you do it with your friends. And also like alcohol where some people smoke every day because their life is shit.
[QUOTE=thelurker1234;45266927] And also like alcohol where people smoke every day because their life is shit sometimes.[/QUOTE] *always comparable to alcoholism
