I love being mocked, insulted, and laughed at in more than one place. ;_; That ruined my day.
I just wanted to clear this up. My post was never meant to mock or insult anyone, though I'm pretty sure a few people jumped on the 'report' button because they took offense to what I had to say. If anyone did get offended by what I said, then you completely missed the point of my post and you're fan-harping on the negatives, and I will not apologise for you taking it the wrong way. All I'm really asking is for mutual respect between fans. I felt like I was made a fool by being tricked into reading that thread (hence the thread title) and being made to feel like my support and excitement for the game is an insult to the fandom and the franchise as a whole. It's not a personal attack on anyone. It's stating an opinion and voicing a suggestion for RESPECT, because I didn't feel very good after practically being told that I'm wrong for not following the majority of fans. My mere presence on this forum feels like a mockery because I'm geared up for DmC. It's like I have no right to be, and because I am, I shouldn't even be here.
And I'm sorry I laughed at you, but I found it funny that anyone would look at my post as a way of debunking their opinion with my own, because that's the exact issue I was ranting about in the first place. I don't know how many times I can say that my intention is not to tell everyone to see things my way. It's a waste of time, it's not going to happen, why wage war when we all know we'll get nowhere at the end? My point was that I feel like I'm being belittled for my opinion by the masses, and that's not fair on me, or anyone else who shares my pov. I mean, it was either laugh at your rant because you missed the message I'm trying to get across, or cry because a FRIEND of mine thinks I'd stoop as low as forcing my opinion on them. It doesn't say much about the impression people have of me here, and quite frankly it doesn't do my character justice. I'm not that kind of person, but for speaking up about an issue that's been eating at me and giving a voice to an issue that's been nagging at others who are in the same boat as me, I've been made to feel, once again, like I've done the wrong thing for saying anything at all.
I don't mean to aim this just at you Meg, this has happened time and time again before on the forum. The whole concrit episode that exploded in my face, and trying to have discussions with my friends only to have them attack me for having not agreed with them... I mean at this point I can honestly say I enjoyed discussing topics with SpardaTM and Moses more because I didn't have to worry about treading on their toes. They were open for debate and opinion, and there had been that mutual understanding that he's not going to back down from his opinion, and I'm not going to back down from mine, but it's good fun to see how the other views certain things anyway. But with my friends it's like...I don't know, like if I say something that opposes their opinion, then I'm attacking them and they get upset with me and either leave comments in ranting threads about what I had to say, or they straightout attack me and accuse me of being wrong for disagreeing with them at all.
I dunno. This kind of thing has happened one time too many to my liking on this forum. Everyone says we're all entitled to our opinion, yet when I say something that's not in line with what everyone else thinks or feels, then I'm flame-baiting or ruffling feathers on purpose. I don't get how this dynamic works. No, actually, this dynamic
doesn't work. I'm seriously considering not coming back to the forum at all because of this. NOTE: NOT because of YOU, Meg. Just, THIS kind of thing happening to me over and over again. I don't have trouble like this on other forums. Maybe people here just think I'm a nasty person and that's it.
Anyway. Thought fart over.
