GBAtemp's Golden Threads Thread

[Black-Ice]

The only thing i'd like to breakdown is the corruption that screws the running of this site.

 

[Hyro-Sama]

First Legendary Dumper and now Black-Ice. Two Breakdowns in one month. I think that's a new record.

I like how I'm the "bad guy" in the Pokemon thread when I'm the one being insulted, saying I don't deserve my staff position, being called an asshole, etc. I'm not even trolling, I said it was a bad storyline, stated valid complaints against it, and only insulted the broad Pokemon fanbase (which is factually known for being one of the most annoying and dumbest fanbases around). We have a "Pokeflood" and have coined the term "Poketards" for that very reason. It's not even trolling like calling Nintendo fans morons, it's basically GBAtemp slang.

 

[emigre]

Yeah Guild, your @ShitGBAtempSays twitter and this thread now aren't classy at all. All you seem to be using it for now is to insult anyone who has a different opinion from you and then participate in a circlejerk with Hyro-Sama/Gahars about how everyone is stupid but you.

Seriously grow up. You're the one who's making GBAtemp such a hostile place.

I expect a Guild hate Thread/campaign within the next week. I also expect that it will find its way here.

 

[emigre]

being called an asshole,

In fairness, you are an asshole.

 

[Hyro-Sama]

In fairness, you are an asshole.

Everyone on this forum is in one way or another.

That was before this thread went down the shitter.
.
I mean it was shitty to begin with but now it's just circlewanking over how anyone who disagrees with Guild is an idiot.

Implying a thread where the main rule is that I make all the rules in the thread wasn't a circlewank to begin with.

Like I wasn't using this as some shady way to launder hate through GBAtemp, it was pretty clear that this thread was a little hub where my like minded peers and I could laugh at GBAtemp from atop our Mt. Olympus.

In fairness, you are an asshole.

Well yeah but you're not supposed to call me that.

Man, you guys are acting like children over nothing. Unfortunately, not everyone is gonna agree with each other's opinions. Even more so because it's the internet.

While I get that Guild McCommunist has a rather, erm, different view on these things, sometimes the guy does have his moments. Even though they're like 1 in a hundred. Sometimes though it does go a bit far, I have to admit, but hey, it's the internet!

Black-Ice. Calm down a bit, my overly hot-headed friend. Is it worth undoing your forum identity over something like this? Who gives a damn what people say, just remember that you are a contributor to some areas of this website (Pokemon Hack Redirecting thread). Leaving over something like THIS makes said people look like the bigger person. If you feel that people are bullying you, leaving shows that they've won. It's those that stand up that get the applause. I would know this better than anybody. I was bullied all my fucking life over my physical stature, how skinny and lanky I am.

Somebody remind me why Guild is staff again?
No other staff member can see what this guy is doing? He's acting like a complete dick to other people, and is being supported by other dicks (emigre, im looking at you).
It doesn't matter how many likes you're getting imo.
I hope you don't have a wife/fiance, she'd probably leave you right away. This whole issue isn't about Pokemon anymore, it's about how others are getting treated.

The only thing Guild said that can actually be taken offensively was this:

but the fanbase for Pokemon doesn't strike me as smart or in tune with narrative storytelling or character design.

Everything else he said he has the right to say. It's his opinion.

I've said it before and I'll say it again (like it matters :/ ); there are many areas where I respect the guy. Most of the time he brings up valid point, just in a way that's seemingly hateful. Guild has some moderating powers but rarely does he actually use them. He leaves the moderating up to the people who's job it is to moderate. He's not power abusive, he's just strong in his opinion. And it's not like he's saying something totally offensive. It's his opinion on Pokemon of all things. Calm down a bit.
I read through that thread and saw Guild trying to keep things civil while other people were complaining and lashing out at him for stating his opinion.

Completely agree with you. A staff member of any forum should actually give respect to all members. Offending other members can cause people that don't want to come on GBAtemp anymore.

Fuck you.
Fuck Guild.
Fuck the Staff that isn't able to do anything about him.
And fuck GBATemp.
The only staff member i respect is Densentsu, nobody else.
Call me butthurt, but i can't put up with this BS. Feel free to increase my warn level to whatever you guys want.

I think Nxenz's anus is very sore right now.

Okay so spr srs post in eof here.

Admittedly my "Pokemon fans are retards" comment could be seen as offensive. I thank Castiel for pointing out (also side note Castiel is like one of the better members/Pokefans here, just sayin'). What I meant is that Pokemon caters to an audience (aka a younger audience) who doesn't understand narrative and character design. And quite honestly the writers really can't write otherwise, I would go as far as to say they are bad writers because there are children's shows that can provide a more shallow experience for children and a deeper one for adults. I don't mean shallow negatively here, I mean that they won't drown in all this complex hoopla. A good example would be like Adventure Time, where children get funny moments, goofy characters, and creative designs, while adults can appreciate the more complex lore and overarching stories. Also a good example is Avatar, where children get great action and cool characters while adults will recognize the more complex themes and character development. Pokemon is not that.

EDIT: For the record I had a pretty nice discussion over this whole thing (not in a serious manner of course but laughing at it) at a New Year's Party with some friends (yes Gahars included). Even though Gahars and I were the only two GBAtempers here everyone else laughed pretty hard at Black-Ice's butthurtness. We also even got to a somewhat lengthy discussion on Pokemon as a whole. Yes the parties I go to usually involve people talking about dumb shit.

But I think everyone is getting incredibly fucking butthurt over goddamn Pokemon. Like seriously, grow a fucking pair. It's not like I said something racist, sexist, homophobic, anything remotely offensive to a real aspect of a person unless Pokemon makes up a great deal of your personhood, in which case you are a sad, sad individual. I get my game tastes called shit all the time. Both here, even by my friends, but I don't give a fuck. Here's an example. I'm really psyched for Metal Gear Rising. A friend of mine (also of Gahars, he can attest to this) thinks the game is dumb weaboo bullshit that looks fucking awful and only retards like it. He tells me this time and time again. But do I get all buttmad and start crying profusely when he brings this up? No, I chuckle and say "Well he throws a fucking Metal Gear man," he says a witty retort, we laugh and nothing about our friendship changes. Why? Because we're fucking adults who don't get offended over goddamn video games.

tl;dr: Admittedly I was a bit offensive but it's fucking Pokemon and if you get offended over it then grow the fuck up.
