I hate what the Internet has become. I also hate social networking. Social networking has seen the death of professionalism, respect among peers, and what little remained of common decency.
I could live with that. I mean I could live the loss of those things, that is.Aylaine said:Besides, without the internet, I wouldn't have the Escapist, or Threadless, or...or...!
Many other awesome things.
Social Networking is a victim, not the problem.canadamus_prime said:
People partake in social networking through "personal" means, and often from "private" areas. Such as on their own phone, and in their own homes, this means people let their guard down.
Social Networking also allows for an unparalleled ability to share one's life with one's friends. People who have always wanted to, but never could, were kept in check by reality itself, now they have been unleashed on the internet.
Our generation is shaping the internet, and will be the ones to define proper etiquette in the future. There are rules that we never needed before, that need to be written down. We will have to write it, and we will have to enforce it. We will have to encourage others to enforce it.
For the most part, I agree with you. that is about how I feel about the current internet.

Have you considered seeing a shrink, if you hate the real world enough to destroy the internet for resembling it?
I was going to go with "an ocean of urine." Got lots of good stuff floating in it, but wear gloves when reaching.Jack the Potato said:
OT: The Internet gave everyone a voice. This includes the brilliant and the stupid, the stable and the psychotic, the kind folk and the jerkbags. The Internet also gave everyone anonymity and a degree of impunity. This tends to encourage the stupids, psychos, and jerkbags to mouth off in the mistaken assumption that their ignorance and hatred is just as valid as others' wisdom and temperance.
No game can be released without somebody claiming that game is ruining the industry. Someone else will praise the same game as the Second Coming. Opinions vary, and we all have to deal with opinions we don't like.
Well, if you for example don't like, let's say broccoli, you don't need to eat it. The same goes for Internet, just take it with a pinch of salt and continue browsing on the internet.
Pardon me, let me rephrase that: I hate what has happened as a result of social networking.Monster_user said:
I could say the same about Japanese and Magna RPG's which are fanatical also (because fanboy is a sexist and wrong word to describe it). People in glass houses shoudn't throw stoness69-5 said:
I think it's cause anyone who likes them shouldn't be allowed to cause they should only play the games that everyone else wants them to. Wanna play Soul Hackers in english? Nope, you're entitled, go play CoD. Some journalists are even getting in on the attitude.BreakfastMan said:Well 1: I don't even know why letting those who support Project Rainfall win would be a bad thing (more games, what is wrong with that?), 2: This game was not even part of P:R, as far as I know, and 3: Wow, those are really crappy, stupid arguments. :\ At least you have here, though, amirite?RaikuFA said:Cause we buy it, you're letting the Rainfall people win and that should never happen. Plus, you buy any game from Japan(espesially if you had to campain for it.) you're entitled, whiny and don't deserve to play games.BreakfastMan said:Wait, what? How could an new release in an obscure as hell, super-hard JRPG series for portable consoles be ruining the industry? I mean, to ruin the industry, wouldn't it first need to actually have an effect on it? What is this, I don't even...
OT: I hate the internet... Sometimes. It gives me nice things and also gives me pain. We got a love-hate relationship going, the internet and me. We frequently fight and insult each other, but then immediately make up.
Go on Kotaku, Destructoid, Joystiq practically anywhere and those comments(with Kotaku you'll see it in the article itself) flood the site
*going on a tangent here*You see I'm also that guy, the guy whos likes/dislikes is always wrong and has to be proven wrong, I could say I like Dishonored(haven't played it yet, moving right now) and instantly no one will like it just cause I do
I've grown to hate the internet because of all the memes, image macros, and passive-aggressive, self-entitled, fanatical teenagers, m'self.
The comments section of anything ever just makes it worse.

Also, no. We're trying to prevent the GOVERNMENT from destroying the internet. If you have problems with the PEOPLE, hurt them instead!
Every problem has its right and proper solution.
