Ugh this site... stay up or down. Don't go down while I'm typing. >_<
The detractors and toobigots can definitely be annoying. But I've realized at the very least, they have an argument they're willing to stand for that they chose, however lousy those arguments can be sometimes.
I'm finding more and more however a certain part of the fanbase that I actually consider lower than toobigots: The irrational person that chooses to hate on a character and hope against them because of their view on the fanbase. Of course these kind of folk reside on GameFAQs...
"The Ridley fans irk me the wrong way. I desperately hope Ridley isn't playable and am glad he might be deconfirmed..."
With all the bickering that occurs on BOTH sides, they somehow decide that they want the SUPPORTERS to suffer. And I know these people notice the detractors and toobigots. It's clear they not only let other's views and words control their emotions, but then their defense mechanisms have them preferring to attack the side that seems safest to attack.
If it isn't that directly, they actually claim the supporters are the ones making bad arguments and ignoring the detractors.
They could just choose to be indifferent over the whole thing. It's fine to be frustrated by all the arguing. I'm not saying they shouldn't be fed up with it. But becoming openly bitter and spiteful is not something I will tolerate. And I don't mean "get into an argument" intolerance.
Gimme a detractor, toobigot, Shokio follower any day. We may debate and argue and roll our eyes, but we are thinking for ourselves. But a bitter fool who lets other people's behavior indirectly control their attitude to such a degree that they openly speak and act out of an unmerited sense of vengeance? NOPE. That is just plain scummy.
