The notion that you're somehow a poser if you don't play as many games as people who dedicate their life to it is ridiculous.

 


Is it about just playing games?

So let me ask you this question.

What if you only bought the Wii U for Zelda, like so many actually do. Poser or not?

What if an entire Nintendo'mination thread gets 2-5 posts a day? I ask for days what people are playing.....answer? Pokemon, smash, mk8. At least until they get bored, then it is nothing.

It is a fine line, that can only be decided by ones self. If I could truly decide I would name names of who I thought were. But how can I personall judge anyone?


How is someone like that a poser? They're completely honest about what they are - someone who likes Zelda, Pokemon, Smash or Mario Kart.

There's no fine line here, you can like some Nintendo games without liking them all, and that's perfectly fine.

The logic that you either like it all - or most of it - or you're a poser, simply doesn't hold up. Life doesn't work in a "it's all or nothing" way. Billy Joel is one of my favourite musicians, but I really only like 5 or so of his songs.

Nintendo's games appeal to lots of different demographics, but all the games don't appeal to all the demographics. Hyrule Warriors appeals to a completely different group of people than Yoshi's Yarn does. It's very much possible to be in both groups (I am), but that doesn't make you any more of a real fan, and being in only one group certainly doesn't make you a poser.
