Ugh. Gotta write a rhetorical analysis essay tonight on Swift's A Modest Proposal. I mean, it's not too bad (it's only four pages), it's just that analyzing it is pretty dry and time consuming, and the format's gotta be absolutely precise since my professor's a tough grader.

 

[Deleted member]

Any rabid fans of anything are worthy of hate, especially those that shove their opinions down others' throats.

I think it's worse when you feel like one of those people.

 

[Soul.]

No, it's not the Pokémon Smash fans that bother me. It's the warring, jumbled dust storm known as the Competitive Pokémon Fandoms.

So... Smogon? Well, in that case.... yes, they act as if they were the smartest thing to ever exist.

Yeah, I suppose. I don't want to go back to the outdated, half-baked website that is Xat.

Xat sucks.

A Modest Proposal? My condolences.
That sounds really boring.

Finish my night here:
Today they revealed a new xenoblade character:

But I can't take off from my head the stereotypical commander from other m:

Are all supposed to apparent boring personalities?

This is my 8000th message on these boards. I'm not gonna tag anybody because

1. I'm worried they might get a bit annoyed
2. The thought of tagging people for some random reason sounds awkward to me,
3. It's almost time for dinner.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Man, I really need to start doing my homework much sooner rather than procrastinating until the last day like I did just now.

It's wearing me out. But at least it's finished now.

 

[Opossum]

A Modest Proposal? My condolences.
That sounds really boring.

The source material itself isn't really boring, it's just the really strict format the paper has to be in that is. The piece itself is actually pretty funny if you're familiar with what was going on at the time.

My god school. Term 2 grades still aren't available? You're 3 hours late, school. -__-

TAG ME!!!

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

I don't really hate Modest Proposal at all, it was just the professor I had that assigned the reading that liked picking on me.

And because it's so 3.0-ish.

Xat sucks.

Yep, that's true.

I just it's hard to read due to how disgusting it is.

 

[Saikyoshi]

Xat sucks.

I'm actually more bitter at VGC than Smogon (Someone explain to me how the hell Phione is broken!) but yeah, they've made some pretty questionable decisions, too.

It's like nobody can ever have a fair pokémon battle, ever.

 

[Mythra]

I prefer an Adamant Proposal over a Modest Proposal, because I like physical attackers instead of special ones

.....ok that was a bad joke, as usual.

 

[Opossum]

I just it's hard to read due to how disgusting it is.

Gah, you ruined it. D:

I wanted someone unfamiliar with the piece to ask what it was about, and then be like, "You should look into it! There's some really creative recipes in it that you should try out!~"

 

[warriorman222]

The following series have been completely ruined for me by the same mindset:



Hating the fans made me hate what they were fans of.

It's like as much as I abhor Metroid, I wouldn't complain if Ridley made it.

[rant]
You're right about that las part, but you can't just generalize every fan as that. It's like saying every Christian is delusional and radical, or every Atheist is persistent and stubborn. Or that every African is inferior and accusive, every Caucasian racist and discriminatory. Every PM/ Ridley fan rabid and self-centered, each detractor biased and rude. Every Muslim an outcast or terrorist, every Korean/Chinese/Japanese Insane and warlike. You can't brand people like that. Nobody can. But people do. And everyone in the world, I say EVERYONE, has an arbitrary reason to be branded stupid, bad, inferior,weird, self-centered, delusional, or somethign liek that, simply for being what they are.

Hating an entire fannies is being like those kinds of people who brand other like that. simply put, don't. But it's hard, I know. The vocal fanbases of a franchise, though are ussually the worst of all the said fanbases, making eveyone seem horrible, and the entire series gets ruined. AKA what happened to you. And I feel bad. So it's not just your fault, It's also theirs.
[/rant]
I don't know what the point of my post was. Just to raise my postcount with the hopes of not getting a warning for mentioning Religion and Ridley.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

So it the special announcement at APEX still gonna be at 3PM EST?

 

[Deleted member]

I doubt this book could be any worse than Catcher in the Rye.



I'm just asking to be proved wrong, aren't I?

Fifty Shades of Grey says "Hi!".

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

This makes studying for math a bit better

 

[RamOne]

A Modest Proposal? Ah, yes, I've heard something about that. I won't spoil it, but it's actually funny.

 

[Kenith]

Any rabid fans of anything are worthy of hate

No.
Murderers are worthy of hate. Sex offenders are worthy of hate.
Unless you're talking about fans that are rapid enough to due either of these things, in which case...yeah.

Gah, you ruined it. D:

The only generalization I can think of being absolutely true is that every single human being is stupid. Even intelligent people like me have their moments of stupidity.

Haha, you said fannies.

Fifty Shades of Grey is not a book that English teachers claim is a "classic." Fifty Shades is nothing more than published erotica.

Like this one?

Even intelligent people like me

What if it was called Zero Shades of Grey?

 

[Kikkipoptart12]

So we talking about fan bases? Zelda, smash, final fantasy, and console fan boys are the worst for me.

 

[Deleted member]

What if it was called Zero Shades of Grey?

It wouldn't change the book's content, would it? Although I do think changing the title of Catcher in the Rye to "A Whiny Teenager in New York" would be a more appropriate title.

 

[Substitution]

Fifty Shades of Grey is not a book that English teachers claim is a "classic." Fifty Shades is nothing more than published erotica.

But, there was still someone who had to write it. There was still someone who looked at the Twilight fan-fiction and thought it was worth publishing (and making a movie of all things).
And I get you hate the protagonist, but there's worse out there.

 

[Frostwraith]

Like this one?

Damn you.

No.
Murderers are worthy of hate. Sex offenders are worthy of hate.

Well, I just don't like it when people shove their preferences down the others' throats.

Comparing rabid fans to the worst sort of scum in the planet (that deserves far worse than mere hate) is hardly a fair comparison.

I'm sorry
I have an aversion to understanding jokes...

What's the point of a joke if you don't get it?

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

What's the point of a joke if you don't get it?

None.

Unless other people get it.

I'm sorry. I was raised to think hate is a word reserved for the worst people in the world.
Not rabid internet fanboys.
