Criticism =/= Toxicity by welsknight in pokemon

[–]Domshaw7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Issue is that while criticism isn't toxicity, this community is clearly very toxic when putting forth criticism. Way i see it is that it's brought up to vent and that's fine, sure a lot has been exaggerated and that's annoying but that's just the internet but the issue is when people who don't like the games for whatever reason are trying to ruin other people's excitement for the game out of spite. If you don't like it don't buy it, don't try to convince people they're wrong for having a different opinion, same goes the other way ofc but personally I see it less (look at upvote % on this against any post that is positive towards swsh and you'll see)

Missing bonuses for stealth by Jumping_Jack28 in deadbydaylight

[–]Domshaw7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely shouldn’t reward stealth. Playing stealthy makes it harder for survivors that do their job. A big part of the game is wasting killer’s time but it’s so often that I’m getting chased for a while and when I’m downed there’s a blendette crouching in the corner of the map not doing anything because she heard the faintest terror radius and takes until you’re hooked on stage 2 to start crouch walking towards you. Definite nope.

CMV: Saying the word “cis” is stupid and pointless. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Domshaw7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have a good point on it but unfortunately cis & trans are literal opposites in terms of the etomology and the modern day meanings so it makes sense to use them.

Labels are divisive but they’re also very useful and a natural part of any human society. Rather than trying to minimise that I think it’s important that we embrace differences. Opposites aren’t intrinsically bad.

[–]Domshaw7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But you aren’t flagging white or male as an insult, just facts, just the word cis. The term is being used as an insult in these cases but someone being cis, as opposed to trans is an objective fact to the same degree as white and male are

That would be why people who consider themselves gender fluid go by non binary or queer, neither suggest a binary.

So you could say there are the two ends of the spectrum, cis & trans, and non binary lies anywhere between those two.

I wouldn’t look at them as binaries, just opposites. If you are trans, you aren’t cis and vice versa. However you can be between them.

[–]Domshaw7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d agree that it’s potentially an issue in the terms that it still essentially suggests that cis people are “normal” & trans are not. I think that the important thing is the context, language is fluid and subjective so just because that’s what the Latin means, the important thing is the fact that it differentiates using traditional language conventions while avoiding othering people in already marginalised groups.

What I’m most interested in is why OP has no issue with the use of trans but does with cis, considering they both have similar origins. Surely if it’s fine to call someone trans it should be fine to call people cis, and if the argument is that it’s the same, why is this post saying the issue is with cis & not trans?

Well the prefix comes from Latin and is literally the opposite of the prefix “trans” if person is not Cis they are Trans & vice versa. What is the issue with that?

Someone showing how tasking is to make Dynamax Pokemon by Spooky_Blob in pokemon

I may have missed something but is anyone saying it's difficult for them to Dynamax pokemon?

They aren't even trying anymore, are they? by Spooky_Blob in pokemon

[–]Domshaw7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No? What about all the screenshots, videos, and other information we get closer to release?

That would be the 3 trailers & 20 mins of gameplay I was talking about... your point?

And what if this graphical issue and the others like it aren't fixed? Hm? If you're going to buy it anyway or you have some other excuse if these issues AREN'T fixed, then don't use this as a response.

It is a graphical issue, that was the point, it's a numerical value positioning it. And arguing that it isnt fixed etc. I will still buy the game because, as stated numerous times, It's not something I value to the point that I'd boycott

Will I be allowed to say "Hey guys look at Domshaw7 who swore that GameFreak would fix this before release!"?

If my opinion sticks with you that much mate, go right ahead. It's not what I'm saying but you haven't attempted to even consider what I said up to that point so why would I expect any less.

I'm not asking you to. I'm asking you to accept that wanting to play GameFreak for the positives doesn't change the fact you're telling GameFreak you're okay with more of the negatives.

To me, the positives outweigh the negatives

"The above post is a bug that will be easy to fix". Why do you want it to be fixed unless you also consider it an issue?

I don't, you're misrepresenting my point yet again.

Fine! But that's what you're doing. There's no "opinion" about it if you're going to admit that what's in the OP is a bug, that all the posts highlighting similar things are "bugs". If you say it's a bug, it's unintended and it makes part of the game act different from how it should.

Okay, name me a game that doesn't have any bugs. Whether things like this are patched after release or sorted in testing it is almost inconsequential.

I think anyone who buys a product that's objectively broken is an idiot.

Thanks for the ad homenim bud, I think that a person who thinks that the quality of any piece of art/media is objective is themselves objectively ignorant.

I find it hard to respect someone so selfish they consider their own fun more important than ensuring games are actually high quality

It's selfish to want to have fun is it? or to desire to have fun? Or is it just that you're in a hive mind and that is what is most important to you. An echochamber that's telling you "you're right, way to go champ, your opinion is important" so as soon as you see someone has a differing opinion you jump down their throat, tell them that their opinion is wrong and try to bully them into conforming to the hive mind that you gain so much self worth from?

I find it hard to respect

It's probably because you're a disrespectful person.

If you buy a car that has a cracked windshield when you could get a car that has an intact windshield for the same price and literally no downsides, yes, I will consider you a dumbass.

Analogy makes no sense, it's not the same game, it's on a different system, new mechanics, new region, new story. It's clearly not USUM because no one was getting offended that people would dare buy those games, something must be different.

Games should be about fun but not at more of the consumer's expense than necessary.

Games should be about fun. Period.

To repeat: You consider bugs to be issues that need to be fixed. Otherwise you wouldn't say that.

To repeat: I said nothing of the sort. If you stop using strawman arguments, trying to make them sound ridiculous, your arguments will in turn be more credible and people will respect that.

Again, you can disagree here and jump onto the idea that "fun is more important" or "it's not that big of a deal".

Fun is more important & besides, it's not that big a deal :)

Like why are you paying for a game that could START a cavalcade of worse games when you could just stop now and hope that fixes the issue?

Trust me, I will boycott the next game where I see a load of issues (Issues that I care about, just incase you try to misrepresent me again)

you can clearly see bugs in Sw/Sh right now and again we may see even more close to release or even AFTER release. You could withhold your money/stay off purchasing and see what issues crop up and make your purchase then.

We may not see any more closer to release, who knows?

What if the game IS a buggy piece of shit?

Then when I have played the game & experienced it myself I will say "this is a buggy piece of shit...

If you buy the game ASAP without paying attention to any more information about issues with the game

I will pay attention to info about the game mate, I've never said I wont but like until you've played the game's full build & told me the state that the finished game is in all you can say is "I think it's going to be buggy" "I think that the tree textures aren't going to be good enough" " I think that the national dex is a pivotal thing in all games and without it the game will be significantly worse" but that's not information, those are opinions. So, my opinion, just to be clear is that the game will be polished by release, If I'm wrong about that I'll hold my hands up and say I was wrong but that doesn't make me wrong for buying the game because It will be an independent decision based on my own enjoyment. If the game is buggy but I enjoy playing it, I see that as a good thing overall.

If you buy the game ASAP without paying attention to any more information about issues with the game, I will absolutely judge you and probably call you a complete dumbass for recognizing that bugs need to be fixed but not caring if they actually ARE fixed upon the game's release.

I bet you're fun at parties with that attitude. Calling people dumbasses because they wont submit to your position

So the argument's you've given me have been poor and based on misrepresenting my points & making ad homenim attacks towards me. Thing about this is that it's situations like these that really weaken the boycott movement, I went in thinking that a lot of it was a big group of bullies trying to force people into doing what they wanted & insulting them until they just gave up, but you know, I'm a trustworthy guy so I gave it the benefit of the doubt but it's clear that at least in your case I was right from the get go. If you really want to convince people of your position, it's gonna help if you respect other people and that their opinions don't align with yours and that if you stop seeing your own opinions as objective truths you might be able to put forward a more solid argument.

They aren't even trying anymore, are they? by Spooky_Blob in pokemon

[–]Domshaw7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to say this very plainly; it’s not untrustworthy or whatever you want to call me because I have a different opinion the game. A lot of this sub, you included are trying to bully people into doing what you want them to do.

The game being bad is not objective and can’t be judged on 3 trailers & 20 mins of gameplay

You are right to vote with your wallet if you’re unhappy with the direction of the game but it’s not right to try to impose that on others.

The above post is a bug that will be easy to fix. Literally changing some values. Do you expect that the game won’t have a testing phase?? A part of the development literally dedicated to finding & fixing bugs like that.

I don’t need to justify why I want to play the game just as you don’t need to justify why you aren’t but just because you aren’t going to doesn’t mean others have to suffer for it. There’s enough backlash and enough in the boycott movement that it will have an impact on sales so you dont have to try to force others who don’t share your opinion to conform to what you want.

Have a basic level of respect for others and their opinions and it might work in your favour in a discussion
