I Just Lost Faith In The Internet

[Eclectic Dreck]

Personally, when I like something, and I am given poorly thought out and badly written reasons why I shouldn't, I just ignore it. What's more, I do not actively go searching for people who say bad things about the things that I like. Sure, I stumble across such things all the time and, as often as not I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and listen for a time. If someone is just wasting my time however, I move on.

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

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

lol and more morally than 4Chan is not hard to do have you been there?

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

Haha! While it may be an ED rip-off created by sweaty man-childeren, there's actually some truth to the "Escapist forums" article, especially the bit about the moderators. (just you watch)

However, the people who write it are trying WAAAY to hard to be edgy and cool.

On the internet you must learn to accept the PAD rule. People. Are. Dicks. It's never gonna change so just get used to it.

I do love this line from Yahtzee's page

"Another reason why he hasn't developed the same hatedom as other people is because he simply doesn't give a shit."

 

[SammiYin]

They do make some valid points to be fair...

*Runs for the hills*

 

[Neverhoodian]

To be perfectly honest, I think this is hilarious. While it's obviously opinionated and everything it states should be taken with a grain of salt, it's entertaining to read. There's also a grain of truth to these, and as we all know humor is truth exaggerated.

Thanks for sharing this!

 

[DalekJaas]

The articles you posted did have some valid points and expressed some of the feelings I have had towards the Escapist in the past.

I visit the Escapist because it is a fast and reliable source of gaming news, even though I do find the authors annoying as they frequently put in lines expressing their own opinions.

Also the link about MovieBob is probably 99.9% accurate, hell I think it is spot on.

 

[XzarTheMad]

So, its a wiki about why internet "celebrities" aren't cool?
Well, it's hardly a surprise - some people like those videos, some don't. This is no worse than reading regular ED, or Conservapedia, or any other wiki filled with opinionated bullshit. Just leave them to their drooling retardation, and enjoy what you enjoy.

Also, fuck you bank of america. I am not american. Stop advertising to me.

I'd be offended if those articles had any truth, were funny about actual problems or in any way interesting. As it is, I can only pity people who put time into carp like that.

Living up to your name! Nice

You know what they say! Any publicity is good publicity!

My real name should be "think-of-a-quick-name-so-you-can-post-on-forums-and-access-exclusive-content".

I didn't ask for your life story bro.

I checked out their site and they go on and on about constructive criticism and wanting things to improve. Then they go and troll. LOL

 

[SammiYin]

Read the one about Yahtzee by the way, is 'rechid' a word?

 

[William Fleming]

Just skimming the article about Moviebob just made me stopped caring about them. I really just advice people to ignore them, nothing professional and looks like it was written by a 12 year old brat that probably plays too much Call of Duty tbh

"Bob, bringing in a paper thin strawman up in this *****!"
Actual quote from the Moviebob article, see what I mean?

AHAHAHA They probably meant 'wretched'. I guess they couldn't even be bothered spell checking.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

And we're supposed to care why?

Hell, I agree with some of the stuff written about Bob and, really, about our forums. If they took away the needless insults, I wouldn't even go so far to call this trolling.

"Bob, bringing in a paper thin strawman up in this *****!"

Erm... no? I mean, it's still more mature than saying, for example, this:

looks like it was written by a 12 year old brat that probably plays too much Call of Duty tbh

 

[thiosk]

That was clearly written by a lot of butthurt people, and I don't think anyone here need worry about it.

(although, I have, however, never seen a higher concentration of self-proclaimed autistic asexual misanthropes)

But seriously, no need to pay attention to a website utterly devoted to trashing people on the internet.

 

[Caligulust]

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

I kind of agree with you about that.

Anyways, nobody should care about the site. Chances are, this thread will only be added to the page as a demonstration of "butt hurt". It exists, a handful of people will see the site, and even less will care.

 

[Ensiferum]

To be honest, each of those pages was pretty much dead-on.

Also, why are you putting your faith in the internet?

 

[Clive Howlitzer]

Wait a second. It took you this long to lose faith in the internet? Where have you been hiding!?
