Original characters, fan fiction self-inserts, X-sonas.

LOL @Not knowing anything about Communism.

Vivi

They aren't shutting down your opinions. They are ignoring you. Difference.

Chagen

The fact that Capitalism is superior to it is all I need to know, son

^Same thing.

GLORIOUSLeader

In Soviet Russia, son knows YOU!

@ Chuggles: There's a difference between not acknowledging someone's opinion and not wanting to discuss things with them when they get smug and melodramatic about their opinions.

Wait, wasn't I just going to wait this out? Silly me. I dunno, I'll just help however I can.

Chagen

Having a different opinion =/= being melodramatic.

And Conductor was doing nothing but strawmanning and never refuting my points while stating his own as objective fact.

All Nines

They are different things, yes, but in your case they go together. Especially when you let peoples' comments get to you.

I haven't paid as much attention to The Conductor's posts, and for all I know he's not in the right either.

I was going to catch up on reading the posts in this thread, but then I saw Chagen shitting up the thread and lost interest.

Bile fascination and snark only gets me so far.

"What a breathtaking display of maturity. Truly I should respect your opinion."

Of all of the people to bitch about someone being immature, you ain't one of them. Anyway,

"I think the OC hate goes overboard. If I may recycle one of Vorpy's examples: what if the characters are going to a new place, where obviously they'll meet new people? If you say this is automatically bad, then you limit "good" fanfics to just being ones where the cast never does anything new or different or never meets anyone who wasn't in the show, and that drastically limits what you can do with fanfic. The whole point of fanfic is doing things canon can't, so putting limits on it is stupid.
Self-inserts on the other hand should never be used in a serious fic, unless you're willing to integrate them and treat them realistically instead of making them the be-all-end-all."

Thirded, or whatever number we're up to.

At this point, you've proven you are incapable of actually debating without resorting to fallacies, so please stop talking and just let the people who can debate be in piece.

lol

^^ Same here.

"The fact that Capitalism is superior to it is all I need to know, son"

lol, U.S. Americans.

Vorpy

@Chagen "hurr durr some things suck objectively"

Yes, leeches, water pumps and vampire bats. Because physical un-opinionated researched can be provided to show this is in fact true.

DYRE

^^ More like lol, Chagen.

Please don't put me in the same category as him...

I say that because he does little to dispel the U.S. stereotype despite claiming I was ignorant for believing in it in another thread.

All Nines

Time to break out a classic macro:

Vorpy

This thread isn't going anywhere though.

DYRE

^^ That would have been appropriate like halfway through the first page.

Vivi

Chagen

So kids, today I learned that having a different opinion is blasphemy and heresy and you must think like everyone else, lest they mobilize against you for the unspeakable crime of thinking differently.

All Nines

"This thread isn't going anywhere though."

The hell it's not.

"That would have been appropriate like halfway through the first page."

Good point. But the thread's hardly getting better.

"So kids, today I learned that having a different opinion is blasphemy and heresy and you must think like everyone else, lest they mobilize against you for the unspeakable crime of thinking differently."

Oh, come off it. Most of us have plenty of out-of-the-ordinary opinions, and you don't see the majority of us getting people so worked up. Wonder why?

DYRE

^^ lol

Vorpy

today I learned that having a different opinion is blasphemy and heresy and you must think like everyone else,

There is objective proof that is bullshit. It's called hypocrisy, and I forbid you to do it.


Only I am allowed to be a hypocrite.

Chagen

That didn't change the fact that having a different opinion seems to count as A Horrible Sin™.

DYRE

lol
