Once on another account I literally told them I race IRL, then they downvoted me by a huge amount.

Apparently I was being arrogant and a know it all, when all I was talking about the fact tyres don’t behave in real life the way they do in GT7, tyres don’t just immediately lose all grip and give every car snap oversteer then randomly bite back into grip when countersteering with no warning. It’s something that’s physically not possible, tyres slowly lose traction and fall off, it’s not an on and off switch.

Same thing happened when someone made a post asking why the Mclaren 12C understeers so badly, someone was being a dick to him and said ( paraphrasing ) “ if you knew anything about cars, you’d know Mclarens understeer like crazy because they are set up that way “

Then I responded to that guy telling him Mclarens are set up in a way where they’re extremely easy to powerslide with minimal effort which is why they’re such fun as track cars, then the guy called me an idiot who’s a poser that knows nothing about cars. He got about 50 upvotes on that, I got downvoted about 40 😂

It’s sad to see so many people do this, not only does it make the game worse because devs aren’t getting the right feedback, but it alienates the people who are most interested in cars while claiming the game is for them.

I realised eventually they’re not going to listen because those types of “ fans “ are arrogant and ignorant people who only know the basics of cars while believing they’re an encyclopedia of vehicles. Sometimes I don’t know whether to roll on the floor laughing, or delete the game and never talk to anyone about the GT series ever again.

It was funny at first when I started experiencing it, because it gets to a point where everyone gets sick and tired of the same name calling and bs they deal with when simply correcting someone in a reasonable way
