Must be my testosterone pellet therapy. I'LL FUCK ANYTHING THAT MOVES!
That's a problem with Contexts.

It's hard for me to accept a real conversation about posting styles and personalities in the middle of a JEDI troll thread. I'm not saying it's impossible or inappropriate. I just hope you might be able to see that it's tough having Real Talk in the middle of:
TLJ sucks! You're condescending! U CUNT. BYE BYE. (Not necessarily in that order or even grouping.) Or, what I like, the rhetorical question. That's a good one, because it leaves me wondering how exactly to respond (even though I know I'll be damned in any case).
Because of who I am I assume people are being jokey. I play along; but no matter how rude or hostile I seem, I usually let people know I'm not shutting the door on conversation. As an example, in the SOLO thread there's yet, if you can believe it, another guy who thinks I'm rude and unfounded, and I'm like, "Hey, I'll talk to you about this when the film comes out." (I try not to take it too personally.) It's never my intent to bully people into silence or even out of their own positions, as vitriolic as I may seem.
Yes, I like challenging people's preconceptions while assuming an arch voice, but I'm not trying to act like I'm better than anyone. That's something I find challenging, determining who is therefore obligated to adjust themselves. But, still, I try to restrict that shit to the topic at hand and not get into the who-you-are aspect of communication. My PM box is open for that, but it's often the case I find people are doing it for the theater, and not really the earnestness.
I don't think you've been rude or condescending at all. Like I said, you're an outlier in this respect. I thought there was a chance you implied I was the one being rude and condescending, which I played towards.
I hate to hear that, Mike. There are lots of people here worth talking to if we take the time to wade through some unpleasantness of initial misapprehension. There's a great deal of shitmongering edgelords too, but we should forgive those who know not what they do, even if they think they know what they're doing. At the bottom of it all, I know it's a mistake to be sofa king rude when we're talking about movies, even when the rudeness is intended. I try not to let it bother me, but yeah it can blister sometimes. I figure people are going through turmoil or whatever, so they take their outlets where they can. Other people, I just don't pay them any mind. I've only put a few people on ignore, mostly people whom have provided malware links. And Computer Fogie.
I thought the end fight scene between Dooku, Kenobi, Vader, and Yoda was cool. And Kenobis fight with Jango. That's all I got though.
It generally does not get to me. But imo everywhere I go in the forums lately people are being rude assholes. Then the second I say anything back I get stupid fucking warnings about flaming or whatever. Yet those same douches then run around flaming and trolling everywhere. I dunno this place just wears me out sometimes. At that point I usually take a break, only talk through my ongoing pm conversations, or start putting every single person that pisses me off on ignore. Whatever feels most satisfying.
It's a real tossup between the prequels and TLJ. TLJ pisses me off because I expected a good movie. I gave up on the prequels pretty quickly.
I think the biggest reason I hate TLJ so much is because I spent a year thinking about all the possibilities that could happen.. Could Rey be a Kenobi? Is Snoke Darth Plagueis? Expecting Luke to do some amazing shit with the new CGI an technology we have now. and all that just got completely shit on.
I totally hear you there, but at the same time I like the heightened srsnss BECAUSE it's in such an inconsequential topic. With real issues, I tend to play a bit nicer (or not at all) because yeah these things weight heavily on someone's soul. When we're talking about nonsense like movies or whatever potato ship we'd like to be, I like when people are more histrionic.
Yeah like I said earlier itt, I was a diehard defender of TFA. Yes the plot was derivative, but they were trying to stick the landing after an entire awful trilogy. So they put in lots of fan service to get people in. But all those new characters and plot threads. They showed promise to me. I was intrigued by the questions raised in TFA and couldn't wait to see what the answers were. Then Rian came in and said you know what, that wasn't MY plot so I'm just gonna shit all over it. While I'm at it I'll retroactively shit on the character of Luke too, because star wars is for nerds.
That question got lost in a glut of sherdog. No I haven't, but I'll have to check it out. I haven't read anything new in some time and I used to be a voracious reader.
