What's the dumbest community you've been a part of?For me it would have to be the romhack ones, specifically the Metroid community.Horror fags in general cannot think outside the box and are often introverted antisocial faggots who are incapable of working together and are devoid of imagination.And the speedrunner community are notorious for being overly competitive in all the wrong ways and playing the game in all the wrong ways by abusing glitches and skipping entire levels while pretending he's finishing the game legitimately, for money no less.
The Sonic community. Far, far, far too many trannies, autismos, and autismo trannies for my liking. Each one more insufferable than the last. Fucking yuck.
>>738941859>>738942009So why were you a part of the community then?
>>738941859Anipoke (Pokemon Anime) community. These kektards seethed instead of having a good laugh every time Ash jobbed at a League.The writers were having a good time, neutral viewers like me were having a good time, but they self inserted so much they wrote 9101 paragraphs going "NOOO HE WAS SUPPOSED TO WIN!!"Nonetheless I'll miss that era, it was damn hilarious.
By virtue of even being here your answer has to be 4chan. So a "besides 4chan" clause should be mentioned.
>community you've been a part of/v/, probably. I don't really do the whole "community" thing.
>>738942084Basically it starts out like this:>small comfy group of mutuals>years go on>many new people were added, and many more left>the group became strange and unfamiliar>too many shitty characters. Only thing to do is leave
The retro game community of today just really sucks. Nobody actually plays or has anything interesting to say about the games themselves, they just fucking collect the cartridges like they're stamps or stickers or something. The actual software has nothing to do with it, they just want the plastic it's printed on. The only thing any /vr/fag wants to talk about is how much they paid for some shitty SNES cartridge that's been sucking up cigarette smoke at the bottom of drawer for the past 30 years. Also, an UNREASONABLY high amount of trannies.
>>738941859Played Mark of The Wolves against this one random dude for about 3 hours when it first launched on Steam and he invited me to join the Garou discord, i'm not into joining discords and my list of servers is pretty low but man i really love this game, might as well check it out and see how it turns out. To the surprise of no one it was just circlejerk central where no matter what you talk about it all comes back to that one Terry player over there and everyone is taking turns sucking his dick down to their stomach, there was no videogames to be found
>>738941859"fanbases" are a downstream transgenderism of con-going homosexuals that have skinsuited all internet discussion of art after tumblr died and jewtube video essays became a profitable industry
>>738941859>And the speedrunner community are notorious for being overly competitive in all the wrong ways and playing the game in all the wrong ways by abusing glitches and skipping entire levels while pretending he's finishing the game legitimatelyThat's why glitchless categories are a thing anon
>>738941859Dandy's world, i repent every single second of it
>>738942836trying too hard
4chan /v/they keep calling me a stupid fuckin’ nigger
>>738942539Amen. Fucking hate any community that revolves around accumulating shit. It's just people posting their HAULS and their SCORES, there's no creativity or appreciation for the media itself beyond what it sells for on eBay.
>>738941859this tranny draws trabs sonic btw, ignore the art
>>738941859I wasn't part of them since I played for a total of 1 month but it was this garbage. It felt like I walked into Africa and was trying to educate the niggers how to be white. Ironically they finally added a working physical train for 1 cowboy area that serves no purpose cause you got free teleports.https://www.legendsofequestria.com/Retard community is more busy playing hide & seek in their 20s with overly complex rules for 10 long years instead of working on the goddamn wikia so you know what content there is, how to farm something, how to craft an item and what options to choose to not fail a permanently failable quest on your character. You have to close the game There's no tutorials, no guide, no beginner guide, no nothing since 2017 when this game exited alpha testing and got fully released.They're playing this mmoRPG like it's Second Life except worse cause at least Second Life fags build worlds/servers.And the only one who even bothers adding unfinished basic wikipedia information is the dev himself who gets paid $500 a month to work on the game.The other 30 or so "dev" members are all HR retards that do nothing but force the dev to "optimize" the game with pop-in enemies so they can get a cheaper server to run it on. And the game itself has server resets every few hours because the enemies and NPCs glitch out of the terrain along with memory problems cause the game is made in the 2011 version of Unity 3D.And the community comprised of barely 50 members on a good weekend are busy larping and playing hide & seek instead of doing dungeons and actually playing the game.
>>738942246I mean I could kind of get this, but it depends on what we mean by "/v/ community", considering I've been posting here for almost 20 years now.It's kind of a ship of theseus situation where I have to contend with like at what point do I really consider something the "/v/ community" because there's various completely failed gay ops that have been running for a decade now trying to establish themselves as the true and honest /v/ community.And it's a bit hard to say where the actual dividing line on there.Because genuinely there are some legitimately fucking retarded assholes on here, and even accounting for samefagging they're numerous enough to "represent /v/" to whatever degree you could call that.But I feel like it's really disingenuous to tack on like, some dogshit TF2 Youtuber and his clique of faggots trying and failing to establish consensus for a decade, or the mongoloid pedophile retards who shriek at you for not being a pedophile (or the secret real pedophile) for saying all their posts are dogshit.Or even official pushes for shit, like janny sponsored Silksong spam that had a paid for event as "/v/ posters".So it's kind of hard for me to honestly say that "/v/ posters" as a community are retarded when it's so many exterior groups that immediately get pissed off when they realize someone here isn't in on the gay ops.
>>738941859Video games? The switch board on gamefaq. Outside gaming? Anything rwby related.
>>738941859osrs by faridk where the pkers and casuals wentits all lgbtq terminally online ironmen now lol
>>738943530>https://www.legendsofequestria.com/i really don't know what you expected
>>738943906Like I didn't even mention all the retards that came over here from gamefags in 2014 when m00t nuked most of the board, who immediately shriek "tourist" at people.
>>738941859dumbest? GTA Online, easily. obviously the game is filled with zoomers and browns but they are so incredibly retarded when it comes to computers/technology it is staggering, worse than i've ever experienced.
>>738942009I still enjoy Sonic stuff from a safe distance, but the community gets more annoying and insufferable every year. The toxic positivity that started around the release of the shitty 2020 movie has been particularly nauseating. There was still a lot of autism in the 2000s and 2010s, but at least most Sonicfags could look at a bad game and say "Yeah that's a bad game." Now they just slurp up whatever slop Sega puts out.
>>738941859> dumbest community> literally /v/
>>738943530>Bronies being mentally stunted infantile faggotronsMany, MANY such cases.
>>738944340V can acknowledge its own stupidity with makes it tolerable, gamefaqs not so much.
>>738944414Are you sure, I mean I've on mlp fucking threads with more cohesive thoughts, almost everyone all the time on here is foaming at the mouth over.>PEDOS>GROONERS>BROWNSAnd maybe.... MAYBE, one thread that is functional and stays on topic. And nigger you make horse fuckers look good, that's impressive fucking might as well just be /b/ at this point same issue back on 8 cause too many shitters.
>>738941859Dandy’s world 100 percent. Those faggots are more retarded than the bronies.
>>738944258The toxic positivity is definitely a huge part of it, but I also cannot get over the annoying assholes with zero social skills, mentally unstable weirdos, troons, and the unironic, schizophrenic characterfags. I'm talking whole ass adults roleplaying as Sonic characters non-stop, and of course you can't call them faggots, because that wouldn't be very wholesome big chungus of you. I feel like barfing just remembering it all. It hurts me because it was never like that at the beginning, we were just gaming lobby mutuals, like maybe 9 of us max, then it turned into THAT over a period of like 4 years. It was fucking rough then.
>>738944654Sorry for grammar issues, just got a little too into it. But me being a fag from 8 I seen too often how /v/ is like the worst parts of /b/ /pol/ too often, it's just insufferable.
>>738941859Roblox military groups often called clans.Was in some big ones and some smaller ones and then decided to try the ww2 ones after the sci-fi groups burned me it for a change.
>>738941859Robocraft...God, that place was full of the most stupid fucking drooling retards I've ever seen, and I recognize their retardation everywhere now.The downfall of that game only resulted in a containment break gaming's biggest retards.
>>738945468I wanted to play robocraft but somehow soft locked my account guess I was saved.I instead played loads of warframe.
>>738946315A decent game that got ruined by hordes of retards begging for ill-conceived ideas that they didn't even want, and a dev team that hired a "professional game designer" who wanted to turn it into an e-sport to compete with fucking Overwatch.
>>738941859I guess the closest would be watching specific Let's Players from like 15 years ago that I occasionally learn are apparently still a thing. Fun guys to watch that sometimes would have neat comment sections or limited fan interaction.Now, their fanbases have dwindled and turned increasingly parasocial. That would be bad enough, but It gets worse if they stream, because the dudes begin mingling with these obsessed whackos who never grew up and still watch these dudes religiously.The LPer is always a terrible judge of character that gets influenced by them to become a total fag, and the fanbase becomes increasingly insular with forced memes and terrible fan art while maintaining this welcoming air of toxic positivity. ProtonJon's "community" is the clearest example of this.Of course, just as many simply drink the kool aid without much outside influence, which is even sadder for both fans and the guys making videos. Despite seeing the decrease in quality, fans just keep watching everything they do. I remember getting chills 4 years ago when I saw some guys in a BrainScratchComms video commenting in the exact same way they did in the 2014. Still highly autistic, still clearly haven't mentally grown at all, some even did cringe gimmick comments. And I recognized them because there was almost nobody else left.It was a good wake up call, at least; made sure I'd never look back on any of these people even out of morbid curiosity anymore. It's just sad to see.
>>738944956Please stop making me want to respond to you with hostility and taking things personally.
>>738941859theres no such thing as communities and fandoms, is all just videogames and stop taking them seriously
probably videogame redditsnerds can't help but to powertrip, it almost always happens unless there is a semi-normal person in there to wrangle the mods
>>738941859>Horror fags in general cannot think outside the box>Proceeds to complain about people "playing the game wrong"Nigga are you retarded
>>738943347who the fuck cares
I hate the souls community but it sooooooo fun especially when /v/ is a hotspot for it. Half of the webms you see about Elden Ring in particular were made by me and some people just saved them and upload them to make random points or shit talk others.
>>738942539and if it's not that, it's unironic nintendo vs sega (or any other ancient console war) shit in current yearlike, is it just an age thing? what compels the millennial mind to argue on the internet about this when it matters the leasti just like emulating cool old shit and wanna talk about it, /vr/ is barely better than this board though
What the FUCK is wrong with the Metroid fandom?
>>738945220when was that?i was into roblox around 2010 and i rememver everyone thought clan groups were all retards anyways
>>738950510What happened? Haven't been in Metroid threads much ever since the times of the HD screenshots anon but they were easily the best threads on /v/
Dark Souls challenge running.They do not play other games, don't even play the games well despite being on their 100th playthrough.
>>738951472soulsfags are just the second coming of sonicfags>crippling autism>dont play any games except their series>cannot hold a conversation without making it about their series>not even good at their games but speak authoritatively on their design anyways
>>738941859I once joined a forum in around 2011 or so for an MMO that was being made (that was since cancelled I guess, I dunno). There were supposed to be different race, including a few that were completely non-humanoid (griffins I think, maybe a few others). I wondered, if humans weren't the smartest species on the planet, what would tools/weapons look like if invented and used by one of these non-humanoid species, since they don't have thumbs. It was really just an off hand consideration.The thread was literally inundated by people claiming that humans weren't the smartest, it was dolphins/gorillas/hawks/gophers/whatever. Still sticks in my head, it was so fucking retarded how many people poked their head out of the woodwork to claim that so many animals are way smarter.
>>738941859>speedrunner communityI swear, they are the most miserable bunch of fucks I've ever seen. Just go and watch any streamer and they're always moaning about how the game is shit, broken, unplayable, just non stop moaning. They fucking hate what they do, but they just can't stop.
>>738942009I haven't been there for 20 years. What happened?
>>738952587Sonic Mania opened up the gates of hell with retards trying to contend with their cognitive dissonance for pretending the entire franchise was shit and the social affluence with an undeniably good (even if I don't think it's great) game coming out.
>>738952679So it all comes back to IGN?
F-list. Although when it comes to video games, none. Outside of my irl friendgroup and you anons on the chan I don't really (((engage))) with (((community))) for video games. Those thrall games that exist purely for PvP endless slop shit or modern homestuck cringe like Deltatroon. I've made a mild attempt a few times on /vg/ when it comes to Runescape, my single player mmo, but it was basically a void of nothing but circlejerking and being spooks over if other people are circlejerking. Plus they were filled with trannies, unironically.
>>738941859honestly? This one. It used to be better. It's like I keep going back to the one bar I used to love because it was amazing 5 years ago, but they changed managers and had a total revamp. But I keep coming back because all the other bats are still significantly lamer, but at this point is it better to go with a "not the worst" bar or just buy beer and drink at home?
>>738942539in a similar vein to talking about stale PvP metas, retro vidya is solved. we all know what most NES games are good and which aren't. People are waking up to obscure 64 and Dreamcast games still, sure, but now that the DS/Wii/PS3/Xbox360 are next to become retro, we will have officially entered the big consumer internet era as retro, when JCPenny catalogs and Nintendo Power stopped being how you found out about games.
>>738952895this but TF2, it's a dead general with the same faggots just shitposting and doing everything in their power to on-topic'ly not talk about the game.
>>738952781Yes and no, kinda.The whole autism with>Sonic was never goodGoes deeper than just that guy who was apparently so much of a fag ign didn't want him
>>7389418594chan
>>738941859Not really /v/-related, but Death Battle. Specifically, the faggots in /dbg/. I cannot comprehend how there are 5 or 7 retards who spend all day, every day, spamming posts about anime characters getting cucked or some shit like that.
>>738953387some /dbg/ autist made an off topic death battle thread on /m/ recently and it got like 300 replies before it died, jannies should pay to use this site at this point
>>738941859Touhou Vidya discussions. Any, and I repeat, ANY meta discussion that breaks their usual echo chamber will lead to some white knight defense in many ways for whatever reason. In my anecdotal experience, I made the argument that EoSD isn't the "reboot" of the series since it shares a lot of stuff before it that it should be considered as such.They claimed that I was doing mental gymnastics just because I pointed out the obvious. Then it got worse thanks to one schizo who was a hardcore early windows faggot.And don't get me started on MotK. Tranny nation.>>738952587>>738952679>>738953207Sonic 06 and Secret Rings tanked the franchise's reputation so hard that they raped its already autistic fanbase while exposing Sega and Yuji Naka as hacks. Then unfunny e-celebs like Arin Hanson and Brian Altano used this opportunity to squeeze its failure for quick clout, which is why we have few underage claiming this retardation.>but why Secret Rings?Because of it's dogshit controls. Which fueled the arson.
>>738954404>Sonic 06 and Secret RIt was Chris chan.We can dance around the issue, but the truth is nobody actually gives a personal shit about Sonic '06.
>>738954496>it's one personanon...
>>738954976Don't you anon me you little retard, you didn't even have to think before blurting out autism.It's innate to your entire conception of the franchise even if you don't know it.
>>738941859/v/
>>738955123Go back when you asked any Sonic fan in the wild about 06.
