Forums - General - Do you perceive people as enemies based on console ownership, avatar, signature etc.?

Simple question here: Do you have an open mind or are you a man of prejudice? Try to be as honest as possible.

...

Personally, I become a bit wary as soon as I see a Kratos, Master Chief or Sony logo avatar. If I see someone mention that they play games on Xbox or PlayStation, I tend to see them as a lesser gamer and don't hesitate to treat them as such. My suspicions are usually confirmed when I get responses like "It's attitudes like yours that make a man's balls fall off.", so I feel justified in treating them like dirt in the first place.

Country of origin also plays a part in my prejudice and Germans naturally bug me, so it shouldn't surprise anyone when I say that my list of declared enemies includes, but isn't limited to, crissindahouse, wasulfnir and Barozi. I tend to cut people some slack if they choose the right gaming systems though, so I manage to tolerate the presence of people like KHlover. It also makes me a bit unconformtable to talk to black people or gays, but I usually manage to conduct myself. I usually stay out of politics and religious discussions due to the rampant idiocy.

Overall, I consider myself fairly open-minded.

Yes. People who are fans of Nintendo (Those who don't have a Kratos or mastercheif avatar) are true gamers who support gaming. that is why the Wii U is so popular.

In general I do get along with most people, regardless of the platform they choose to play their games on, what I *really* dislike however is false information that anyone, regardless of the platform they supports, spout. - Some people actually find that threatening as their platform of choice is being "bashed" so to speak, but they can deal with it.

And I *do* hate all consoles equally. :P

They cant support gaming if no worthwhile games are releasing, toastboy. This is why theyre all currently supporting the 3DS. Or they finally upgraded to PlayStation.

One or the other.



                            

I tend to be wary of anybody that is overly biased towards any of the consoles.

By that i mean somebody that is so biased that they are unable to see the negatives of certain console and only able to see the negatives of other consoles. At this point they have lost the ability to use common sense and as such are more difficult to communicate with.


Personally, every console has its positives and negatives and there is no right choice to console ownership.



No, I like a lot of Sony and Nintendo fans here. (and thus I don't judge them/their opinion too much)

And there are plenty of Xbox fans I think act dumb. Ha well not plenty, there aren't even many Xbox fans here to begin with.

Oh yes, absolutely. Anyone with a Sony- or Microsoft-related avatar, sig, or username is immediately flagged as an enemy.

However, I also believe that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Therefore, being the enemy of Microsoft fans, I immediately recognize anyone aligned with Sony as my friend; likewise, being the enemy of Sony fans, I immediately recognize anyone aligned with Microsoft as my friend.

PS: What happened to Kim? :(



No, I got friends that own ps3, I just stop by and beat them every once and a while. J/k
However most have both consoles. I my self am a nintendo Xbox gamer.



I don't know about enemies but people with manga stuff rubs me the wrong way for some reason. Like that guy with that weird-ass Ronald McDonald lookie-like avatar and sig. You know the one where the girl appears to be comforting a crying guy. You'll know what I mean when you see it.



Unless if they are consistantly trolling and calls one fanbase such as Nintendrones, Sony Pony's, or Xbots and consistently bashes on the other system that they don't own Then i see them as a enemy.

PS which i do fall under cause i a Persona 4 icon which is only on playstation consoles and a Nintendo signature?

No no no you got it backwards. Nintendo is not releasing games on the U because there is no one to buy them, because nintendo gamers didn't support the U. Thats what M. Pachter is saying anyways. xbox fans and ps fans will buy million of consoles even with a lack of games in my opinion.
