Regarding "Criticism"
7 years ago
General
This honestly kinda sums up my experience with the fandom overall tbh.
https://youtu.be/Gp6xU55QVhg
Whenever I point out facts, irrefutable evidence or the like, people just flip their shit and tell me to “stop hating” or “don’t watch it.”. Like, if someone commits fraud, they commit fraud. Just because some happen to be an apologist to that artist or practice, doesn’t change the facts.
To be petty, but: Nearly everyone seems to just ignore literally everything I say, and just go "My feewings!".
For the like, 824′th time: The reason I am so “arrogant”/dismissive, is simply due to the strongest “argument” my “opposition” has in roughly “Your mom!”. Like, yeah. That’ll show me... it never cease to amaze me when popufurs just stand there with a trembling lip going “You’re mean!” and that somehow wins over nearly every single person. I seriously have more respect for people that during a debate just pulls out a picture of a kitten as their retort. Neither of them have jack shit to come with. No substance. Nothing. Just trying to manipulate the emotions of those watching.
So, if these artists stopped acting like toddlers, in that: anytime they are caught with their hand in the cookie jar, their first, and only response is to start bawling until their parent (fans) storm in and yell at me for telling them to stop doing something they’re not allowed to do.
And: Yes. I more or less view most the people that throw tantrums at me to be that mental capacity. As, when literally all they can come with is "Löl, u rude!",I just immediately fold them into the dunning kruger category. And yes: I know not all of them are that retarded, some are just trolls that pretend to be retarded. Which, if you ask me: Kinda just makes them even more retarded.
I know I am quite a "buzzkill", but when one of these cognitively challenged people just goes "Imma stick my dick in a toaster!" and I go "Don't. You'll hurt yourself." and they just "REEEE!" at me for being a Negative Nancy. It brings me no joy see them later sitting and consoling each other in a pile, trying to comfort the guy with a burnt dick over how "There was no way this could have been prevented..." while they just glare over at me for trying to ruin their fun. At that point: What the fuck do you even do? It's like watching people that are certain that statements like "The truth is not the truth" makes perfect sense.
Just to take a moment to reflect: The smarmy people that try to argue that I'm wrong, their sole tactic and argument is to throw tantrums and scream at the top of their lungs until any criticism is silenced. With the occasional excuse or dodge thrown in for good measure.
Meanwhile: In the past like, 5 years. One of the only people to prove me wrong on any single point, without trying to defy the laws of reality, was someone into scat porn. And how did they do this you ask? Simple: They brought forth an actual argument. Managed to form a complete sentence. And actually explained the "why" and backing it up with evidence. Not just rolling around on the ground screaming and flailing.
Again: This is pretty much like when in the MLP fandom, a gay dude that never had drawn a single pussy, utterly wrecked the shit out of ~90 % of ALL the straight "top tier" artists in drawing a pussy. As they ironically: Didn't just pull it out of their ass, they actually studied and put some effort into drawing it.
Respect is earned. Not owed. Which, again: Is kind of amusing considering I have over a decade long streak of never being wrong when it comes to folio reviews and calling out dishonest marketing in the MLP and furry fandom. Yet people have regularly side with convicted pathological lairs just because they are famous, since; you can trust famous people. I don't think I have to rub in how ironic this is xD
I do get that it can’t be easy to get called out on being the fan of someone that’s a complete asshole. (whether they’re a scam artist, discriminating, a bully, a lair and/or whatever they might now be up to) I have actually been part of that myself. Realizing I once liked someone despicable. Or gave money to someone that ran out the backdoor with all of it. But, at that point: Your main goal and response shouldn’t be to prop them up, and start spewing apologetics and talking points. Just drop the whole special pleading fallacy, and just own up to it.

FA+

Anyhow: Yeah, most of them just boil down to "You're mean!" which... says jack shit about anything.
But yeah... what you are saying seems to ring true tbh.
It reminds me a bit of shovelware mobile game wise. It's really stupid imo.
