Adam Orth To Give Speech On Online Toxicity
- Thread starter Steven Bogos
- Start date
Adam Orth, if you are reading this, I would like to apologize on behalf of the entire internet on the fact that we have opinions. I promise that from now on, we'll do our best in buying anything big corporations try to sell us, even if it's fresh poo on a stick for a thousand euros.
look everyone, adam orth is about to perform his signature trick, he's going to talk out his ass.
this jackass honestly doesn't know when to give up, but he has a certain amount of sway in the industry and like it or not he's gonna use that power to ***** and moan about the evils of people with opinions who react to his childish baiting and trolling. it's incredible that Mr. Toxic himself is giving this farce.

I don't think theres that much overlap in the population that doesn't have a stable internet connection and the population that would be a potential customer for a Xbox One. Sure, it sucks you can't play your games when your connection is out, but that happens like one day in a year on broadband.
And as I said in one of the other threads, he looks like Shaun from Assassins Creed.

This is like giving a bully a job in doing a presentation on the effects of bullying, or a wolf the job of telling how eating sheep is bad. The fact that someone is putting a microphone in this guy's hand is ridiculous. He said some things about a completely impractical idea on his company's part, and unsurprisingly people didn't like it.
He holds an idiotic and plutocratic opinion that doesn't reflect reality. He's spent too much time in a place where such luxuries were commonplace, and has become deluded into thinking that everywhere in the world is like him. The truth is that very few are in such a situation.

Next up, the Pope, speaking on the dangers of paedophilia.
I kid. But really. This is just immature. You say a stupid thing, people lambast you for it, and they should, too. It's not like someone just turned on the ol' Internet Hate Machine and formerly reasonable people started spewing vitriol at a decent proposition. There's a point where you're meant to revise your position and realise that what you're saying is ridiculous.

I hope his entire speech is drowned out is a sea of mocking, booing and/or chants of "shut the fuck up!".
Either that or a completely empty room ... till somebody throws a tumble weed in the room.
Companies are in the business of making us want there products so they can get our money, so they should make products we want ... us shredding the xbone is a good thing to them, isn't it?
Does this guy really think "these idiots don't know what they want, we have to force it on them and only then will they realize how good this is" like Kim Jong-un just feels his country would be better off it was full of size 0 civilians.

The destructive power of poor people having opinions that don't match mine, and why I'm great - by Adam Orth
I'd be lying if I said I didn't love this man. If it wasn't for him, I don't think quite as many people would have understood the implications of Xbox One's shitty scheme and their attitude towards their customers.
He laid it out nice and clear.

I don't think it's too much to hope. He Was afterall touting the company line while showering his consumer base with contempt, the same consumer base recently vindicated on the same topic against the Whole company he was in.Neverhoodian said:Right, time to trot this one out:
Is it too much to hope that someone shouts this in the middle of the speech?
Look, don't get me wrong here. I normally applaud such efforts, as I wish the internet could be a more civil place. That said, this particular incident sounds like it has more to do with the lingering bitterness of the speaker than an actual intelligent discourse on the topic.
Should the internet be more civil? Yes absolutely. Is opinion destructive? Oh I dunno, is breathing? And while we're at this, if opinion is destructive then what makes His opinion, the very thing he'll be talking about, any better?
In my opinion, funnily enough, the whole thing just reads like a show of hipocrisy and bitterness. If the Internet has any uncivility to spare, I hope its saved for this guy.
All we need is for a Valve spokesman to do a speech at the same conference on customer relations, customer service, how to listen, respond and interact with your potential customers online in ways that create a positive atmosphere and outcome.
Go on Valve - you know you want to... For science. ;-D
Captcha: last straw. No kidding.

Oh dear. We'd better call the waahmbulance.
If we have all this power though, can we get Don Mattrick fired too? Because that guy's the bigger asshole.

It sounds to me like he's giving a speech on "Passing the Buck: How not to take responsibility for my own actions"
"Orth, a former Microsoft creative director who now runs his own Orthnation consultancy firm"
Uh-oh, I can't see this going well. What exactly would he be consulting people on?
