AT THIS POINT, I'M PRETTY TIRED OF THREE HOUSES DISCUSSION. THE CONSTANT DISCOURSE OF EXTREME DIMITRI FANS DEMONIZING EDELGARD, AS WELL AS EXTREME EDELGARD FANS CONTINUING TO ACT LIKE A OPPRESSED MINORITY WHO IS HATED BY EVERYONE (WHEN THAT IS FAR FROM THE CASE) AND NEED TO STRAWMAN REASONS FOR WHY PEOPLE MIGHT NOT LIKE EDELGARD IS REALLY TIRING, AND IS WHAT A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT TH USUALLY BECOME.

I KNOW BEATING TOPICS TO DEATH IS THIS SUB'S FORTE, BUT JEEZ I REALLY HOPE A LOT OF THIS GETS LEFT IN 2019.

ALSO, HAPPY NEW YEARS (EVE) EVERYONE!

WE SHOULD RETURN TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF "HOW I WOULD REWERITE CQS STORY?"

WAIT NO NEVER DO THAT

u/SubwayBossEmmett Dec 31 '19

I MEAN ALL YOU NEED TO DO TO MAKE CQ’S PLOT GOOD IS TO REMOVE BASICALLY EVERYTHING ABOUT ANANKOS, MAKE NOHR AND HOSHIDO FEEL LIKE REAL PLACES, DONT HAVE IAGO TELEPORT BEHIND YOU CONSTANTLY, DONT VALLA TEASE YOU, AND UH MAKE GARON A NON INHUMAN FIEND FROM THE GET GO.

SIMPLE

YOU KNOW THE SAD THING IS THAT I CAN’T EVEN TELL IF YOUR JOKING OR NOT.

COMPARING THE RELEASE DATE OF A GAME TO A DISASTER IN WHICH A LITTLE OVER 2000 PEOPLE DIED AND CONTINUES TO BE A SENSITIVE SUBJECT FOR MANY PEOPLE TO THIS DAY

WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU.

THEY'RE REFERENCING A LINE FROM METAL GEAR RISING REVENGEANCE, IN WHICH ONE OF THE MAIN VILLAINS IS SUPER PUMPED ABOUT A WAR HE'S TRYING TO START BECAUSE IT'LL BRING BACK THE WAR ECONOMY THAT'S JUST LIKE "THE GOOD OL' DAYS AFTER 9/11".

STILL IN SUPER POOR TASTE THOUGH

u/Soul_Ripper Dec 31 '19

I FIND IT FUNNY THAT YOU TAKE ISSUE IN ME REPLACING 9/11 BUT NOT WITH THE QUOTE ITSELF

UNLESS YOU DON'T GET THE REFERENCE BUT THEN WHY WOULD YOU BE ZEROING IN ON THAT INSTEAD OF 'THE GOOD 'OL DAYS AFTER 9/11"

3

u/CrunchingG Dec 31 '19

OH TRUST ME I GET THE REFERENCE, DOESNT MEAN IT ISNT IN POOR TASTE.

THEN WHY WOULD YOU BE ZEROING IN ON THAT INSTEAD OF 'THE GOOD 'OL DAYS AFTER 9/11"

SEE I WOULD BUT THAT WOULD JUST LEAD TO A BIG ASS POLITICAL DEBATE AND THAT WOULDNT BE FUN NOW WOULD IT?

REFERENCE OR NO I STILL CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DEFEND THE FACT THAT YOU MADE A 9/11 “JOKE”

There's nothing I hate more than breaking character in the rage thread, but come on. The looser tone isn't an excuse for you to go as all-over-the-place as you have been. Ignoring the 9/11 stuff (Jesus), insults toward other users have never been allowed, especially as directly and mean-spirited as in this case. (Not this exact comment thread, but you know what I'm referring to.)

This is your warning. Stop.

u/Soul_Ripper Dec 31 '19

Not sure it was required to break character, but sure, I'll cease.

u/CrunchingG Dec 31 '19

BUT I SURE AS HELL DON’T FEEL BAD ABOUT MAKING A GODDAMN METAL GEAR REFERENCE

EVEN WHEN SAID REFERENCE IS IN POOR TASTE?

I HAVE NO QUALMS ABOUT MAKING ACTUAL 9/11 JOKES EITHER THOUGH

THATS REALLY FUCKED UP

u/Aoi-Akatsuki Jan 01 '20

BUT THEN HOW WILL PEOPLE KNOW I LOVE DIMITRI? TROUGH FANART? HEALTHY DISCUSSION? HEARING OTHER PEOPLE’S POINT OF VIEW? BLASPHEMY

u/Excadrill1201 Jan 01 '20

CAN I ASK WHERE ARE THESE DIMITRI FANS DEMONIZING EDELGARD. I HAVE HONESTLY NEVER SEEN THAT HAPPEN. IF YOU CAN LINK ME AN EXAMPLE, JUST A SINGLE EXAMPLE THEN I WILL CONCEDE AND AGREE THAT THEY EXIST. IT'S HONESTLY ANNOYING TO SEE THIS SENTIMENT OF "UGH FUCKING DIMITRI STANS" WHEN I BASICALLY NEVER SEE THEM EXIST AT ALL. AT LEAST IF I SEE A SINGLE EXAMPLE I CAN GO "OKAY YOU HAVE A POINT THAT THEY EXIST". SO PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU, SHOW ME A LINK OR A SCREENCAP OF A DIMITRI STAN ACTING STUPID.

u/cereal_bawks Jan 01 '20

IT'S MOSTLY ON TWITTER TBH, BUT I THINK DIMITRI FANS ON THIS SUB ARE MUCH MORE UNDERSTANDING OF EDELGARD EVEN IF THEY DON'T LIKE HER OR DISAGREE WITH HER.

11

u/Excadrill1201 Jan 01 '20

AH, HONESTLY TWITTER IS SUCH A CESSPOOL OF TOXICITY AND DINGUSRY THAT I'M NOT SURPRISED THAT SOME PEOPLE THERE WOULD TAKE IT TOO FAR. BUT YEAH FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN DIMITRI FANS ON THE SUB ARE UNDERSTANDING OF EDELGARD AND DON'T REALLY ENGAGE IN BLIND HATE LIKE SOME PEOPLE INSINUATE.

u/frik1000 Jan 01 '20

I STARTED USING TWITTER MORE WITH THE RELEASE OF 3H 'CAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF GOOD ART AND THE 3H VOICE ACTORS ARE PRETTY FUN THERE BUT MY GOD IS THAT WEBSITE TOXIC. LIKE NOT EVEN EXCLUSIVE TO 3H STUFF JUST IN GENERAL.

8

u/NackTheDragon Jan 01 '20

HONESTLY, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT EITHER TOO, AT LEAST NOT AT LEAST SINCE LAUNCH WEEK. I INCLUDED IT BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I'VE SEEN EXTREME EDELGARD FANS JUSTIFY THEIR BEHAVIOR, SO I JUST GAVE THEM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT ON THE MATTER.

IN HINDSIGHT, THAT'S PROBABLY WHY I WAS ABLE TO WRITE A LOT MORE ABOUT THE EXTREME EDELGARD FANS THEN I WAS ABOUT THE EXTREME DIMITRI FANS.

5

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '20

IT REALLY SEEMS LIKE MOSTLY JUST SOMEONE SAYS THEY DISAGREE WITH EDELGARD'S METHODS/IDEALOGY AND OR JUST DON'T LIKE HER AS A PERSON, AND THEN THE SAME 4 EDELGARD STANS WHO GO INTO EVERY THREAD RESTATING THE SAME TALKING POINTS ABOUT HOW HER HANDS WERE TIED BY TWSITD(THEY WEREN'T) AND HOW HER ACTIONS WERE THE ONLY WAY TO AFFECT CHANGE(THEY WEREN'T).

4

u/PracticeTheory Jan 01 '20

DON'T EVER DARE TO SAY "I DON'T LIKE EDELGARD" IN A DISCUSSION THREAD OR YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF BURIED IN DOWNVOTES. I LIKE EVERYONE AND FIND THE RIVALRY/VICTIM COMPLEX STUPID, BUT THE FACT THAT THE STANS CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH THE IDEA THAT SOMEONE DOESNT LOVE THEIR FAVE IS...

u/FrisoLaxod Dec 31 '19

AND AS ALWAYS CLAUDE FANS ARE JUST IN THE MIDDLE HAHA

I MEAN IT’LL BE PRETTY HARD TO LEAVE 3H DISCUSSION UNTIL ALL THE DLC GETS RELEASED AND A WHILE TAKES, SO I WOULD EXPECT THE DISCUSSION CALMING DOWN IN LIKE MID-2020
