I Just Lost Faith In The Internet

[thick doona]

The title's a bit of a joke, because I never had any faith in the internet

Anyway, I recently discovered something that really pissed me off. Basically theres this ED rip off where pretty much all they do is whine about LRR, Moviebob and the Escapist.

I'm a big fan of all these things, and it pisses me off to see people being this ungrateful/jealous/trolling this hard. I found this site on the LRR forums, they went and trolled that site afterwards as well until Graham and Kathleen stopped them.

The amount of douchebaggery and childish writing is hilarious. XD

For discussion purposes, have you guys discovered any nonsense like this on the web about The Escapist? What do you think of this pathetic site, find anything on there?

I'm just planning on ignoring it. I didn't worry about any of the claims he made before I read that "article" and I don't plan on starting any time soon.

Reddit often has take downs of us, often inhabited by people who "got banned from this stupid website because they didn't give me my free speech". La la elitist la la zero punctuation la la adverts/captcha/fees la la la.

Presumably the same people that complain about how companies should give out free money, allow hate speech and work for free. The anarchists that still want all their comforts.

These forums are possibly the biggest laughing stock on the internet. Which is just fab publicity.

Well what's keeping you here?

I don't mean to be rude, but if people don't like this website why don't they just leave it alone? Honest question.

I didn't say I considered them a laughing stock.

I was suggesting no publicity is bad publicity and alluding to the possibility the whole thing has been orchestrated from the start. Y'know, I was being facetious.

But hey I also stay for all of the conclusion jumping.

Edit: Holy crap that was a lot of spelling/grammatical mistakes.

At least people who spend their time working on sites such as that one won't have as much time to be jerks everywhere else.

We are the opposite of 4chan really which to me is like the opposite between god and the devil really... except the sites actually exists heyyy ohhh!. No just kidding that last joke was mean but by my god reference I mean this, yes we know the Devil is bad and that is 4chan and we are God. Yet it is safe to say that god has made people do some fucked up things and isn't short of killing almost all of the world or making a dad kill his son and then say just kidding. This sight is big on a few things that I have bitched and whined about for a while now and its this: Their stance on Evolution and how most of the population here thinks your a total fuck up if you don't think Evolution was how we came about, their stupid obsession with being the biggest grammar Nazi's ever, and how glued everyone is to ZP and maybe this last one is just me but I see alot of people using the same grammar as he uses but maybe this is just me. Now the reason I pointed that out is because we take fire for those reasons. Its just best to ignore it and move on because despite the reasons mentioned above we still have a awesome community that is very civilized.

It sounds like as if Yahtzee himself reviewed The Escapist. But ultimately, the internet always has something to cater for as far as offending every aspect of life the human race has produced. If you like lol cats, look up zippo cat. If you like making love, look up scat porn. If you like to rape people, look up consentual sex. Ultimately, if you like mainstream media, look up critical reviews. No one is going to agree with you on the big WWW. That is a fact.

So?

Us "elitist, teenaged, angsty pricks" need a place to go too, don't we?

Odd though then that the Escapist forum feels so nice and cozy, while the majority of other forums feel like rabid pig pens.

 

[Rylot]

I like it here, what else matters? I've never really been a fan of other people's opinions, now doesn't seem like a good time to start.

Captcha: The Holy grail of pants WTF?

 

[Mordwyl]

Trolls gotta troll.

 

[Murray Whitwell]

"Oh no they don't like what I like I'm going to make a thread about it!"
Are you trying to lower these peoples expectations of the escapist even more?

 

[Shameless]

I am sorry but, I think this site got many good points around moviebob, so I won't hate it much.

 

[standokan]

I was honestly pissed but then I remembered, they're trolls if I get angry, they win.

Snip

So...we're morally superior to 4chan? Awesome!

Captcha: Good job (See? Even the Captcha agree's with us!)

It's a weak ED knock-off, why do you even care?
