| Wyrdness said: Here is the full quote from my post. "Too bad most of the contradictions from the Zelda fanbase aren't explained by it " This was in response to you saying 90% of contradictions are explained but anyone who has followed Zelda for ages has become aware of the Zelda cycle that has been around since OOT where when the new game comes out it's suddenly the worst game in the franchise and the previous suddenly becomes appreciated and often this was driven by a tonne of contradictory arguments. The fact you tried quoting only part of one line to skewer context says more about you than anything. Your reply comes across more as someone riled over the meme so I addressed you in how it came over, it does not come across as looking for debate or innocent especially as you bemoan the language in the meme which sets a different tone from wanting a debate. Complaining about over simplifications isn't even much of a debatable topic here because Mzu's post was a reference to the long running Zelda Cycle gag that spawned that meme over 10 years ago it's clearly not talking about the people who articulate which is why your reply is so baffling I can only assume you haven't followed the series for as long as others to not get that and the context of the meme in general. Ironically no offence to the poster but someone just posted an example of what the meme pokes fun at with the WW/SS debate but anyway I got the wrong impression from your post so my bad. |
Hm .. I skimmed over this post and thought it was a "sorry for misinterpreting your intention" but then I see that you are kind of insulting me?
"The fact you tried quoting only part of one line to skewer context says more about you than anything."
Like ... what?
Here is how I quoted you:
"Too bad most of the contradictions from the Zelda fanbase aren't explained"
Here is how you quoted yourself:
"Too bad most of the contradictions from the Zelda fanbase aren't explained by it "
You're saying my integrity as a poster is in question because ... I didn't quote the "by it" part? What does that even change in the sentence? It means the same thing! And even if it didn't shouldn't your first thought be that, I don't know, I wasn't anal enough to care about two words? Rather than saying "Ohhh this says a lot about you". I was simply shortening a quote, it doesn't change the meaning or context at all.
Like what ...
Also, the "Zelda cycle" is well known, hell if you looked at one of my posts just a few comments earlier you'll see I even kind of mentioned it (when I said that I can't wait till the next Zelda comes out so people can complain about the legit problems with BOTW). !!!
