This is all video-game discussion has become now.
How do we even fix it?
>>738415292not even just video games, online discussion in general is like this now
>>738415292The whole Starfox thing? Pretty apt description, OP. Point made.
>>738416309everything has become thispolitics especially
>>738415292>You don't like eating shit? You're Eric
heh, that's a pretty good comic. well done to whoever made it
>>738415847Eat even more shit.
>>738416486No it's not. Haven't you heard?? (opposing side) LOVES reading that comic!
>>738416486it's an oldie template
>>738415292I feel like it's most of the time the inverse where someone posts something they like and gets met with "Haven't you heard?? (opposing side) LOVES thing!"
I don't think I've ever seen someone defend something here because the opposing side hates it. We don't really have "antiwoke" games or whatever that fits this bill.
>>738417550>I don't think I've ever seen someone defend something here because the opposing side hates it.
>>738417550there's a thread up RIGHT NOW >>738390541 where people claim you are not supposed to enjoy a game because vidya journalists like it
>>738415292That comic makes no sense left wing trannies don‘t buy or play left wing tranny games… they just want to ruin your enjoyment. They like the same games you do but they just want to rewrite history cause they worked decades to get into power and now they abuse their position. They want to take your favorite video game franchise and turn in gay and woke to piss you off because they hate you
>>738417671It's a social media repost thread, you should have that filtered by default anyway since it's blatant bait.>>7384176354chan, why?
>>738417692good evening saar
>>738417780Was geht du Transe
I want to have my balls smashed with a hammer
>>738417756>review by IGN>social media repost thread
>>738415847Let’s set a course.Intercourse.
>>738417550i'll assume you weren't here during february 2023
>>738417864Holy fucking based
>>738417886Yes. All gaming journalism falls under the same blanket of shit, especially IGN, and anyone posting that shit with any agenda beyond laughing their fucking ass off at it is baiting. If I shat out a Kotaku article about how your favorite game is shit do you think that's a genuine thread?
>>738417692>left wing trannies don't buy or play left wing tranny gamesuh yes they do?
>>738417981I've been here since 2008 but that date doesn't stick out in my mind, I'm guessing some game came out that I probably ignored because it's the kind of thing that you should be banned for admitting you played on here?
>>738417864Haven't you heard?? (opposing side) LOVES smashing their balls with a hammer!
>>738418040No they don't. All these woke tranny games like Dustborn have like 40 players on Steam
>>738418141undertale is one of the most successful games of all time
>>738418191>game where you commit genocide>wokePick one
>>738418141They'll bring up the small percent of successes that were profitable in spite of woke shit being in them, not due to it, while ignoring the mountain of failures as a counter.Man I don't know why I even come here anymore, everyone just pretends to be a giant nigger for attention now, it's just (You) addiction by pretending you actually love shit.
>>738418040They do but they fail. Redditors and twitterniggers weren't strong enough to support Veilguard or Forspoken and those games bombed and their studios went under.
>>738418347Are you ok tranny?
>>738418786Why the fuck are you so desperate for replies? What motivates this behavior?
>>738417550I see it all the time unless they're all just shit posting like me on both sides because it's funny.
>>738418026I concede, you make a good point.
>>738418965>being a gigantic nigger is funny
>>738417951JJBA (part 2) reference
>>738419026...there's no "concession" anon, it isn't a debate, I'm not here to fight you
>>738415292>you don’t like [game], then you’re brown>you don’t like [game], then you’re a tranny
>>738419135I concede, there really isn't a debate here, we're not here to fight.
>>738415292Let me fix that for ya SAARos bro
>>738417550Not sure if joking, or just really really trusting
>>738418965I just read the argument that's posted and come up with a counter argument just to argue. And I will defend it no matter how stupid it is.
>>738419326I can't think of a single instance on here of someone doing it ever.
>>738419438People like you have ruined this site and need to be permabanned.
>>738416419Erictroons on suicide watch
>>738419481>please take the opinions on this chinese cartoon videogame board for social rejects seriously
>>738415292Ok but he's kinda spittin tho. Why would you do something (((opposing side))) supports?
>>738419682>I can't have fun on 4chan without being the worst form of nigger imaginable and actively making the site worse
>>738415847Let's head for the malt shop.
>>738417550same. can't think of any anti-woke game that gets defended for being simply anti-woke. usually its leftoids and redditors shitting on games for being not woke enough, or rightoids shitting on woke games
>>738417671That's a thread mocking game journalists for liking something that is shit, not saying it's shit BECAUSE they like it. There are plenty of games so obviously good that both journalists and normal people like them.
>>738417550Gacha
>>738420115I don't think brown subhumans defend gacha because other people hate it.
>>738415292Switchies when they get a port of a games they've been shitting on for years. See FF7R.
OP is a fag spamming this shit across several boards for attention>>>/pol/534648648

>>738420569Toby Fox confuses me, he's one of the gayest fags imaginable and his entire inner circle is equally gay yet there are weird glimmers of the opposite attitude that sometimes shine through.
>>738420707Mystery solved, he's just a normal ass dude.
>>738420707>>738420736he made a halloween Earthbound hack back in like 2008 that's full of edgy jokes about different races and has "faggot" in it multiple times
>>738420679i'm not trans tho
>>738420882Draft don't care.
>>738420874But that was normal in 2008.
>>738420925i'm too fat and autistic to be drafted
>>738420965Oh, I just assumed anyone posting about them was baiting because they are liquid shit and you should be permabanned for playing AAA anyway.
>>738420965no, those are getting defended for other reasons
>>738417550Usually the first questions people ask on this board is if a game is woke or non-woke. Zero discussion about gameplay. Just on character design and political undertones.
>>738421215What does that have to do with this?
>>738417550literally in the last 24 hours i have seen thousands of posts claiming those godawful new designs for the Star Fox cast are good because "WELL IF FURFAGS HATE IT THAT MEANS ITS BASED"
>>738415847leave /v/ and go outside
>>738420501based anon pointing out /pol/fags
>>738421540Alright, I should've clarified that nobody does it in earnest.
>>738415847you don'tsit back and start noticing it everywhereeveryone does it. doesn't matter their views, their level of education, how nice they are, etc.it's sort of funny
>>738419481You could always just not fall for obvious bait
>>738421997Bait implies you actually put any thought behind it.
>>738419481>frogposters need to be permabannedMost sane thing anyones said all year
>>738422105No it doesn't.
>>738415847There's gotta be a secret bitch around here somewhere.
>>738422198"Most same thing" more like
>>738421946Tribalism is funny, you can try and make a sane logical argument and people will discard it simply because the outcome doesn't align with the views of the group that you are allowed to have. Makes you wonder if we're rational at all. Both sides hate each other and both sides hate the moderate.
>>738422450Can all tribalism be bad? Lets say 100,000 years ago a tribe of 40 humans survived off eating irish elk, mammoth meat, bison and foraging for fruits. They see another tribe and that tribe is hunting other humans for food. They even eat one of their dead members that perishes in the battle. The tribe that eats normal animals kills the other one out of pure disgust. Are they wrong? Especially when that level of insanity can be passed down?
>>738417550GachaThe first descendant Stellar blade
>>738422651I mean you're close in that you can absolutely make judgements of an ethnic group.The problem is that the english language has been so molested that the concept of an ethnic group has been obliterated, and the entirely reasonable conclusion you could come to that someone's social background, culture and habits would probably inform a pretty clear opinion on them and you'd be fine with not interacting with them.The other issue?4chan poster would qualify as an ethnic group
>>738422198>>738422382Most obvious thing
>>738416309Yep
>>738420707what the fuck... this person isnt submerged completely into my side their side bullshit... what an anomaly.... im so confused...... this makes no sense..... how could anyone ever say something that isnt their side approved from the moment of their birth..............
>>738422651We don't live in 40 man societies anymore and we don't hunt our food anymore. We get our food from the supermarket. Life's way easier now but society is out of control. We live in tribes of millions no one knows each other outside of family and a couple of friends. The only thing that binds us together is our cultural heritage.
>>738415847talk to real irl people instead of fake internet people
>>738423091You can stop being a hyperbolic condescending douche any time, my point was that he shows two polar opposite attitudes. If anything I think what happened is that he used to be the average internet user saying faggot and retard constantly in the late 2000's but became acclimated to the more left leaning social groups that emerged following social media taking over the internet. People ITT harping on about tribalism are misclassifying things and attributing basic cultural defense systems to it, wanting propaganda out of your hobby is not showing support for propaganda of the other side and is not an example of tribalistic behavior. OP's comic is disingenuous and assumes something rarely seen here is true and for some reason many of you are mindlessly running along with it.
>>738415292When has this happened? I'm trying to think of it and I'm drawing a blank.Games like relooted or Dustborn were heavily pushed for leftwing ideology and no one played it. I'm trying to think of the opposite, but I can't think of anything.
>>738422884>GachaThis doesn't even make sense, the retards defending gacha do that because they actually engage with it (unfortunately), not to, what, piss of people who don't like microtransactions.>The first descendantHonestly never heard of this one before.>Stellar BladeI think most people genuinely enjoyed that game and sexy women in vidya is not a political statement opposing censorship, although I do think you have a bit of a point with some of the more annoying posters on here who act like a game is automatically good because it has sexiness in it. I remember when Wicked Seed came out all the threads for it were just discussing the sex appeal and nothing else about the game, similar situation.
>>738423531The only example I can think of is the discourse surrounding KCD when it was about to come out, but even that was less about pushing a political agenda and more about resisting efforts by leftists to shove their own into it.
>>738415292if third worlders were range banned from posting on /v/ this wouldn't happen
>>738423767It doesn't happen.
>>738415847Ignore retards. That's it. If you talk about a game you like, ignore people calling you a shill. If you dislike a game, ignore people calling you a chud. Don't give them a single second of your time, they are literal (you)-addicted junkies who are not worth engaging with. Then again /v/ is fucking awful for vidya discussion and it has only gotten worse each passing year.
>>738417671>some faceless billionaire makes an indie dev studio make an indie game about his date with the girl who got away>pays out the ass for a bunch of licensed songs that he likes, because they were the songs playing when he macked on her>journos falling over their own asses to heap praise on a game that is an objectively worse pastiche of the universally panned life is strange sequel, because they either smell a big spender and are trying to hook him, or else they already got paid for the review
>>738420707Believe it or not the tumblr people still say shit and fuck and damn
>>738424020This attitude sounds nice until you realize it makes discussion entirely pointless and turns everything into an egocentric "poop is good because I enjoy the flavor fuck you" scenario. People on here used to be able to discuss the pros and cons of things and the only things that were really verboten and would get you laughed off the board was stuff considered completely unacceptable like microtransactions and other anticonsumer bullshit. You can say a game isn't the best but you still like it or that you think a game did something poorly but it's still overall good, go back and read old late 2000's posts and /v/ back then was a bastion of civility compared to how fucking stupid, obnoxious, irony poisoned and miserable most people on here are now.
>>738424020Anon, I do not remotely believe for a minute you're stupid enough about how the internet is to think ignoring it would "fix" the problem.
>>738424249Being disingenuous just makes you look silly and dumb.
>>738424341The funnier thing is Toby isn't really even "tumblr people" anymore after the incident where they drove some dude to kill himself.
>>738419934Ah ah it's [Insert console fanbase that you don't like]
>>738424578Just so we're on the same page here, you do realize in the context of that image the janny doesn't actually like [THANG] right?
>>738424287I think what demoralizes people now is decent discussion, even arguing against something they love is a rare occurrence. Now its just buzzwords, wojaks, frogs, social media screencaps or some political bullshit thrown in. I honestly can't remember the last time I had a civil, honest diatribe regarding a game. Maybe 2021 but past that? Nothing.
>>738415292This is literally the leftist ideology.
>>738423518>You can stop being a hyperbolic condescending douche any timesure but my side dictates that my side their side shit is the highest form of cringe

Why do you need to discuss anything on /v/? Just play your video games you enjoy and shut up about it.

Every time you encounter someone who just doesn't have the intellectual capacity to hold a conversation, you're talking to one or a combination of the above.>>738427830After spending time on here, Reddit, and random forums, I consistently feel as though 4chan still has the most snappy interface, your posts are quick to be seen or reach page 10 (an appreciated rip-off-the-bandaid unlike other places), and no hassle of managing an account.
>>738415847We need to start thinking!
Face it 4chan is dying, population is permanently down. Free speech and internet allowing edgy posting again created an exodus of users. People dont need to go to 4chan to be racist anymore and you wont get banned outside of it. The remaining people here are even more mentally ill and schizo, it's all they have left. 4chan is a haven for the mentally ill and you cant have discussions with the crazy.
>>738415292wtf valvexisters... op is making fun of our steam controller purchases... muh sold out in 30 minutes.... save us gabengod......
>>738415847Kill everybody on /v/ that has posted on reddit in the past 5 years. It won't solve this specific problem because it always existed, but it'll still make /v/ far less cancerous than it is now.

>>738428274>>738425368>>738424287People resort to buzzwords and being unserious too quickly. No one wants to apply critical thought and even a lot of the people who say they are thinking are just reflexively angry when someone disagrees. People need to learn to argue while also not caring if people disagree with your opinion
