You know, I do dislike people who aren't willing to give certain games a chance, for what I deem kind of illegitimate reasons. At the same time, most of the bad faith people who are dissing a game because it's the hot button thing, or who are dismissing a game because they saw someone else give their reasons, and thought those were good, those people probably weren't interested in the first place, especially the former group.

What I do hate more than anything, though, is when someone suggests that I need to have watched a movie for it's full 2 or 3 hour runtime before I can make a judgement on it, or that I have to have completed a game before I can make a judgement. Fuck off, I can't be assed to watch or play every dogshit movie or game you're engaging with, just so I can call it shit. You weren't going to believe me anyways, even if I did do that! The same of all what I said in the first paragraph is also true in reverse!

Can't I just talk about a thing without getting enswamped in some dumbass, about how what I'm saying isn't valid? Can't you just contest the claim itself, instead of always blowing it up to be some sort of overarching thing that reaffirms your biases because whomstever is destroying your epic gamer cred? Gat dahmn. I just wanna be able to talk about games, and what I like and don't like, without having to put the "oh all of what I'm saying is subjective" disclaimers everywhere. Can we go back to that? Can I not have to, redditor style, post about every possible alternative angle someone could attack me from for a second? Can people be also try to at least be funny when they're mad on the internet?
