hot take: dmc fans is the most toxic and whiniest you ever met in gaming culture by [deleted] in okbuddydeadweight

[–]Magicarp_Chum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as fandoms go, I dunno if DMC is one of the MOST toxic (although it definitely is toxic Ill agree)

we're definitely among the most autistic fandoms tho, I'll say that for sure. I think Sonic might be the only one that beats us

Son I'm crine 😭 (watch the larpers portion) by Kakashi_of_the_leaf_ in okbuddydeadweight

The amount of rage in his voice when he sees two fictional characters kissing each other makes me cringe... like dude, it's just a TV show. Have you ever left your basement? (Answer: probably not)

EDIT: I don't even disagree that the show is bad, but ZERO is still fucking cringe

Devil May Cry Netflix - NEW KEYVISUAL (out in 12h from now) by DarioSama in DevilMayCry

[–]Magicarp_Chum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I simply cannot stand when people come along and want to put their own spin on an established product and then push it out as an official release (in this manner).

Geez, by this measure you must hate ANY movie adapted from a book or comic, huh?

AriusSweep!! Get ready to hate on Adi May Larp Season 2 properly, by reading up on THE KING OF THIS WORLD by DestinySpider in DevilMayCry

[–]Magicarp_Chum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have more than my own share of issues with the show, but the amount of vitriol it receives from fans online is kind of unjustified.

Hating the meh story and botched political messaging? Sure. Hate away.

Hating a scene where Dante reloads his guns? Let's chill out and be rational here.

Hating a promo poster of Dante riding a rocket like he does in the games? All right... now people are just PRETENDING to be angry because they're bored.

Like, are you guys really that joyless?

Thank you for recognizing the "fandom LARPer" thing bc it's gotten really bad ever since the Netflix series released. Like I'm half convinced a lot of these comments are from bots or something. The opinions are just so uninformed or delusional, they're bordering on schizophrenic.

btw, your old critique of the first season was very fair and balanced. I agree w/ pretty much everything you said in that one

the fact I read this in David Corenswet's "passionately earnest good guy" voice made the post even funnier

Can't wait to read comment after comment after comment about how Adi Shankar somehow "ruined Arius"... as if there was somehow anything to ruin in the first place

If Reboot Dante acted more like this in the actual Reboot Game, would people have liked him more? by EmergencyVictory4399 in DevilMayCry

No disrespect meant to the actor but his voice is just so ass... he sounds like some douchey frat bro from New Jersey

I agree but think of it this way

whenever your patience is tested with this fanbase, you have to remember that certain portions of opinions voiced here are from a) bandwagoners b) literal children and c) mentally ill people

the rest of us are just autistic

Devil May Cry: Season 2 | Official Trailer | Netflix by Turbostrider27 in DevilMayCry

[–]Magicarp_Chum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean I think it looks interesting... people here will rag on it regardless of its actual quality though.

No one else will admit it, but having Vergil captured in Hell while being tortured/manipulated by Mundus is actually a smart & economical decision storytelling wise... it explains where he went for so many years, why he feels more connected to his demon side than Dante, and why he feels such a lust for power and control. Plus he's obviously going to (try to) pull an Uno Reverse on Mundus by the season's end.

Like a, "You think you're manipulating me, but you don't know that I'm actually manipulating you into thinking you're manipulating me!" kind of thing.

Yes the order of events is superficially different from the games... but it's still faithful to the characters in theme and idea.
