Before you cry about anything, yes, this is very on topic because it relates to one of the most popular retro games in existence and one of the most popular online opinions of the past decade.Arin Hanson aka Egoraptor has multiple times apologized for being wrong about his Sequelitis videos, but despite this, people on the internet keep taking them as real criticism to the point you still read people parroting his arguments to this very day, in fully unironic and serious ways.Well, now the very person who created all these people's opinions is now admitting to having been too young and insecure.If you're over 18 and still parroting Arin's stuff in 2026, you might have a problem.
Who gives a fuck what that retard thinks. I'm not reading any of that gay shit.
>>12403501>Who gives a fuck what that retard thinksMillions of people who you have to deal with if you spend time talking about video games in english and sometimes even in other languages.
>>12403497Not reading all that shit. Low quality threads like this are the domain of the unholy morass of >>>/v/. Stop shitting up one of the few decent boards left on this goddamn site.
>>12403504This is very relevant because it's about a retro game, one of the most popular ones at that >but I don't care about egorapter!Fine, me neither, but his influence is undeniable and has shaped the opinions of the average person who talks about video games online. You can't avoid it
>>12403505E-celeb garbage is always irrelevant. Posting a wall of sludge spewed forth by an e-celeb (in Twitter screenshot format, no less) not only doesn't prove any point whatsoever, but serves only to reduce the quality of /vr/ (which is already in a dire state due to various spammers).Never post this shit ever again. Better yet, never post here again, ever.
>>12403508>E-celeb garbage is always irrelevantIt's not that I want to disagree with you. I wish that was true. But the reality is that, as long as you're spending time discussing video games online, you ARE in constant engagement with e-celebs indirectly, as you're constantly reading their opinions being regurgitated all around.Egoraptor's sequelitis video happens to be one of the most popular video game youtube videos (go check the viewcount on that shit).His opinions are still being parroted, even by people who don't know who he is.It's a weird phenomenon ture of this era.
>>12403503>Millions of people who you have to deal withYou think I'm some celebrity?
>>12403523NTA, but yes
>>12403523No? But if you're online it means you're part of the internet, and if you're here it means you have an interest in discussing video games. Thus you're in contact with eceleb opinions (through random internet people who parrot them)
>>12403519>heres why you should care about [insert e-celeb here]Yeah nah, nice try. Fuck off, no one cares about this irrelevant shit.
We won Nintenbros! we eliminated all dissent!
>>12403528It's not really about the eceleb himself, but rather his opinion (which got out of his control and became a default argument when people discuss online).As I said, there's even people who don't know who he is, but still parrot his opinion, because they've read it from other random online person.We can't escape it. I also hate ecelebs, but I like discussing video games, and lament the fact discussion and online discourse is heavily influenced by ecelebs (also called "influencers").You can pretend like nothing of this is real, but it does not make it not real.
>>12403534ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZStop talking faggotHoly fuck jannies have truly given up on this place haven't they? Report all e-celeb threads.
>>12403535Listen man I also hate ecelebs, but hating them will not make reality change: as long as we are here, we are constantly reading eceleb-influenced opinions, all the time, for every game.
>>12403538wow thats crazy, keep talking.
>>12403539DId you know mario 2 is actually called donkey donkey picnic!?Yeah, guess where that comes from... Also an ecelebs.Most of the annoying aspects of discussing video games online in the modern era is due to eceleb influence. It's also why discussing video games in modern times feels so artificial and sterileWe can pretend it isn't happening, but it's still happening.
No guys, this is serious and you *STILL* don't get it! E-celebs are important and worth discussing and that's not up for debate! You are all fools not to care about this "HAPPENING" regarding some retard's opinion from 2011! Take it to Kiwifarms or something. No one cares.

>>12403527Even then it's not "millions". More like 1/10th of a million.
>>12403561As I said, you can ignore it if you want, but every time you discuss about video games online, you will be inevitably interacting with eceleb opinions. It is not me who decides that.
>e-celeb twitter screenshot New low for /vr/
>>12403497that's so much god damn reading for an apology about there being so much god damn waiting in oot
>I said I'm sorry, okay!?Cool story Arin, now go play some Magic or something
>>12403497>Some things I complained about didn't even piss me off, I just thought they were interesting to bring up. But I exaggerated them for the sake of comedy because I didn't really know how to make them funny otherwise.at least he's honesti actually thought metal gear awesome was hilarious back when it was on the front page of NG. the schtick got old real fast after that though
>>12403501/threadI don't give a shit what some retarded washed up e-celeb thinks, call me when the actual devs of Alltp and OoT compare then and taok about it o algo
>>12403497Who?
