I Just Lost Faith In The Internet

[King Toasty]

Meh. This doesn't affect my life in any way. Feel sorry for Kathleen and Graham, having to deal with those trolls.

Meh, not bothered by it. I used to read ED and go on /b/ so I'm used to reading wiki articles that "hate everything" but this website isn't the pit of nihilism that ED, it's just an unfunny knock-off. The article on Yahtzee isn't so bad to him but hates on his fan base a whole lot.

"Benjamin "Yahtzee" Croshaw is a Brit who's taken every single precausion possible to avoid employment in a real job"<-- mildly funny

I once came across a guy who apparently trolled the Escapist about the Other M or something. I don't know if it's true or what really happened but he seemed to be proud of himself.

 

[AlternatePFG]

They were completely right about MovieBob, other stuff not so much.

So you lost faith in the entire internet because of one site? Isn't that like invading iraq because 2 extreme muslims from saudi arabia crashed 2 planes into 2 tall buildings?

 

[Tharticus]

Some of these article are pretty funny. ED pretty much spit acid. Kinda like a small grain of truth.

 

[Pat8u]

mostly butthurt people who got banned from the escapist write these things it happens alot in facebook comment sections as well

 

[natster43]

People have their opinions on things. Just ignore it, they don't matter.
Also I am pretty sure we have a section under the Fandumb Page on TVTropes.

 

[FalloutJack]

I should care what other people say why?

No, really. I'm obviously a Fallout fan. Do I take ANY opinion from No Mutants Allowed seriously? Why should I any other over-inflated one?

If you can't laugh at these kinds of things, then you really need to re-assess your views on life. Many of the points on that site are grounded in truth, and it's nice to be able to laugh at yourself once in a while.

There were 4 planes hijacked. There were way more than 2 terrorists responsible, both directly and indirectly. I think people were angry about all the people who died, not the buildings...

Your analogy makes no sense and is trying to be edgy.

Report and move on?

 

[WorldCritic]

Whatever, if someone really took that much time out to troll about the Escapist then that proves that they have no life.

 

[Layzor]

To be honest, they're kind of accurate.

 

[TheAceTheOne]

So?

Us "elitist, teenaged, angsty pricks" need a place to go too, don't we?

Odd though then that the Escapist forum feels so nice and cozy, while the majority of other forums feel like rabid pig pens.

So true, so true.

The Escapist is a nice cozy sleeping bag in a twisted tent called the internet. XD

 

[cryogeist]

I was looking at the site for a while and it looks like they bash everything XD
so i guess that's the whole reason for the site

 

[FallenMessiah88]

Well, I actually think that these articles have some good points, if you take out all the personal insults and sweeping generalizations. Especially in regards to the article on MovieBob. Now I like MovieBob and I do enjoy a lot of his shows and videos. In fact I watch both TGO and The Big Picture quite often. However, there are just certain topics where I just don't trust his opinion 100%.

If you don't like something on the Internet, just ignore it. The site is just satire. Just laugh. It's unhealthy to not be able to laugh at oneself.
