First off, I didn't mean to anger you so if I did. I'm sorry. Really I am. And with this post, again, I'm not meaning to offend you in any way. With that out of the way. Here goes.
I'm just saying you often say stuff like that that is easily taken the wrong way. Maybe I took it the wrong as well so, I'm sorry.
You dodged the point of my initial post, which was just a friendly joke about something on stream (the likes people gave to it should have implied as much, because we all know people don't like my posts that much when it's anything more than a meme/joke/news repost :V), and decided to use it as a way to target me and my opinions on Nintendo, even though they had no relation to what I was posting, because you couldn't take a bit of a joke on the subject. This is a form of damage control, as in you trying to control the snarking/negativity/however you interpreted it, that was being delivered from me to Nintendo. And that's a form of defense in an argumentative context.
I didn't dodge a point. I got the joke of the initial post. It was the edit that I was like 'Why is still watching this?' I in no way meant to target you so, I apologize for you feeling that way. I was literally just asking. I thought maybe there was something that you were looking forward to or something else you were hoping would show up. That's literally all I meant by my original reply. I was haphazardly expecting a 'I don't even know.' or something along those lines. I really meant no disrespect.
I didn't complain about anything. I made a joke. Most of the space in that post was an image. You're the one complaining about my joke because you somehow interpreted it as some kind of harsh criticism, when it was in fact, just a joke.
That was just bad wording on my part. Complaining isn't a very, well, 'nice' word to use. All I meant was if you don't like it don't watch it.
Well, it seems to me that any time you sense criticism towards Nintendo from me (and only Nintendo), you're there to play white knight.
I... Wasn't... Even being a White Knight. I was just wondering why you were watching the stream if you didn't like it. I didn't even watch the stream. I just wait till it's on YouTube then skip to the game-play. I can't stand half the people on the stream anyways.
You also seem to jump at any chance to paint me as a bad guy, constantly trying to say I "can't accept other people's opinions" when I have, time and time again. You just pick isolated examples where I challenge someone's view and act as if I'm like that all the time, and never do you actually consider the context and actual substance of the arguments on display, at an objective level. Sometimes I'm stubborn, but that's only because often times, nobody really gives me a decisive point anyway.
I have stated in multiple posts with you that I was only acting on the other side of your opinion. Challenging yours just as you challenged someone elses. I don't ever intend to paint you as a bad guy. If you think that then again I'm sorry. I don't mean to isolate you either. I very rarely post and only reply when I feel I need to say something. If I've replied to you far often than you would prefer me to then, once again, I apologize.
I know, people getting frustrated with me over my opinions, or for their inability to actually take them for what they are rather than distorting them in their heads, is very confusing. Sometimes I wonder if it's
just a Nintendo fanbase thing.
I'm gonna be totally honest with you here. Some of your wording incites hostility towards you. I've noticed your use of words like mindless and blindly quite often, which usually gets you in quite the spell with another user or two. It's not really a huge problem unless your doing it purposefully. Which, honestly, I can't judge.
The way you worded it implied a bit more. If you just wanted to suggest I don't watch, you would have said "you don't have to watch it" and nothing else. That's not what you said, there was more to it and you know that. You typed a whole paragraph up.
I didn't type the paragraph until you said I was 'blindly defending' something that I wasn't even defending. You type things like this and maybe you don't really mean it the way you said it. Maybe I took it the wrong way. But if you reread my VERY FIRST POST I said:
I don't want to be rude or anything but, if you don't want these nostalgia flashbacks and rather obscure, playful banter by the Nintendo team then why are you watching the live stream? They do this in EVERY SINGLE ONE of their Treehouse events.
I don't know what you thought I was trying to imply here but I though the 'I don't want to be rude or anything' showed that I really didn't want you to take this the wrong way.
It was also a redundant suggestion as I had already stopped watching the stream and posting about it by the time you made your post.
Sure, it was redundant, but you replied nonetheless.
I don't attack people. I challenge their views if I see flaws in them. I often get attacked for doing so, though. Kinda like what you're doing right now (i.e taking a joke I made and using it as an excuse to paint me as a bad person. That's an attack).
I'm gonna blame this again on your wording in some instances. Blindly, Mindlessly, and fanboyism are some of the words I notice that incite towards you. So, maybe tone down on those words? They can seen a little bit as, for lack of a better word, 'mean'.
I like you. I really do. You're often the voice of reason, and sometimes negativity in this thread when everyone else is in hype overload and
Blind Optimism. Seriously, though, sometimes I feel that you want things to get heated because of your wording. But it's just that wording. If you mean it like the way we might take it we will never know. But wording is key. Especially when you're in the loud silence of the internet.
