Skyrim fans aren't superior to MW3 fans.

[C2Ultima]

So I was looking at this [http://fandom.memebase.com/2011/11/07/fanart-cosplay-damn-right-you-are/], and I thought it was truly pathetic, for what I think it implies.

To me, It implies that people who like Skyrim are superior to people who like MW3. If you honestly think that you are superior to someone because they don't like the same things you do , you are truly pathetic, and have no business forcing your opinions on other people as if they were objective facts. It doesn't matter whether you like Call of Duty or not, but thinking that not liking it makes you superior is complete idiocy.

Being someone who likes a lot of things, I like both MW3 and Skyrim. They're both great games (don't even start, MW3 is great, and Skyrim goes without saying), especially for their genres, and they're both great fun. But the notion that preference is an indicator of superiority is ridiculous. That's like arguing that people who like ball point pens are superior to people who like mechanical pencils. It makes no sense.

In fact, this doesn't just happen with Skyrim, this happens with a lot of other games as well.

Am I just reading to much into this, and extracting messages that aren't there? This is the only place this happens right?

never mind [http://memebase.com/2011/11/16/internet-memes-and-push-to-skyrim/].

EDIT: Since it doesn't appear to be clear, it seems I have to point out that this is purely my opinion. This is just what {/b] specifically think about this.

I like both games. That must mean I'm superior to myself.

 

[ResonanceGames]

Anyone who thinks that they're superior to anyone else for liking a specific kind of game or movie is an idiot and should be mocked heartily at every opportunity.

That said, anyone who takes those kinds of people seriously probably deserves to be offended by them. So it goes both ways.

I'm sorry but you are just plain wrong. Mechanical pencils are clearly better than pens. You make a mistake with a pen you have to make a mess and scribble it out, or even worse tippex. Mechanical pencils though, best of both worlds. Erasable and neat.

 

[RADlTZ]

This really happens all over the place, its not specific to any game. Its just that for every game, there are a certain number of fans who are idiots. I think what we're seeing here is just idiots from one games fanbase targeting idiots from another games fanbase.

No.... no no no no no no no no.. NO

Can we please stop this, "I play "this" so I'm surpior to you" talk. I thought (Or so I believe) we are all gamers in some way or form and it doesn't really matter if someone likes to play MW3 or Battlefield or Saints Row or Skyrim over the other or less than the other.

Besides in this day and age where everyone can, will, has or plan's to get all the games and game systems they want, isn't it just stupid to say one game is supeior than the other?

I seriously think the only reason comments like that are made is start fights becuase it's expected on the internet. It's like stealth delayed trolling or something, it starts with one comment and it grows and growls until it explodes.

You are superior in one way, and inferior in another. Therefore you cancel out and are just average. But as we know, average and below average do not exist as everyone is expected to be above average. Therefore, you do not exist.

How do you live with such a paradox?

 

[Andronicus]

I like both games. That must mean I'm superior to myself.

And thus, by extension, inferior as well.

How do you live with such a complex?

 

[dickywebster]

It looks to me more like a poll where more people were interested in skyrom...
I dont see anything that says otherwise, or did i miss something? (not counting comments as they could be used to backup just about anything)

Also from personal experiance id say the skyrim fans are better, they will at least consider other games to be good, something ive found lacking in a lot of MW£ fans...
No that is not hate for MW3, that is jsut what ive encountered from some of the fans.

I think I hear reality collapsing around us.

 

[owbu]

yeah, Im afraid thats a typical human thing
All people in one group have to have the exact same opinions/abilities/ways of life/etc.
Skyrim fans life in their basements
All CoD fans are stupid

Its the same thing that fox news does. Oh and btw we are all fat guys, who cant get laid and are now trying to flee into fictional worlds because of that. So I guess no one of us is superior in any way

No, no, no! Mechanical pencils are the devil's work. You need a real, wooden pencil and a decent pencil sharpener.

Anything else is just nonsense!

I'm too busy having fun in Siants Row 3 and Skyrim to give a shit.

I'm just here because my xbox is acting up right now.

 

[Woodsey]

Is that the ENTIRE article? Those two lines and that poll? Wow.

Back in my day people would throw shit at you from their windows and you'd be fucking grateful for it. You crazy kids are far too sensitive nowadays.

 

[distortedreality]

Fanboys are fanboys no matter what they support.

 

[Tharwen]

I dooooon't caaaaaaaaaare!

I just want to play Skyrim. Superiority is a secondary priority.

It's easy if you have paradox absorbing crumpling zones installed, but I don't so I'm glad I'm not on the receiving end of that one!

In other news, I couldn't give a crap what other gamers think of me. I only play Skyrim, so I am half as superior as MiracleOfSound.

...

That will do, pig, that will do.

 

[Anaklusmos]

I'm sure it was a joke, and so not intended to cause this sort of emotion, or since it's memebase, it could be a trolling post in which case, job done!

EDIT: When I opened this, I expected it to be related to something that was said on the Escapist, not something wrote on memebase... I cannot believe that someone has made a thread about something insulting based on what they read on memebase...
