I don't know if this is true, and it's hard to really tell, since of course 'the Pokémon fanbase' is a very vague and hard to define group of people. It's just an observation that I made when I visited the Pokébeach forums yesterday. The discussion over there is a lot calmer over there than it is here - because no one over there seems to be desperate to defend the game against the others. Most people are critisising the game, and the few people who aren't, are just talking about the game without the phony praising and without attacking people who don't like it. Here on VGChartz on the other hand, there's an overwhelming amount of unnecessary provocative comments ("And the haters can't stand that it is a good game."). |
Your point of view makes sense. The issue I have is when people look down on or call people who are enjoying the game "part of the problem" for example. Just to be clear, if I ever use the word "hater" that is who I am refering to. Not people who might have genuine problems and are simply voicing their opinion.
