And you haven't been vocal about wanting Captain Britain here on GAF. It was several posts before you even mentioned Captain Britain. You've been ranting about people expressing opinions different than yours, and flinging insults like X-tard at a group of people (including me) that you have wrongly lumped in with the whiners, and generally acting like the very same whiny brats you are ranting about.
I was specifically referring to the whiners when I was talking about the people I call X-tards, and I explained why I call them that, in response to some other posters saying they don't like symbiotes (which I agreed with).
Heck, I've expressed
multiple times, explicitly, that people who only watched the cartoons are not the ones I am targeting. You like the cartoon, or it's the only way you came in contact with Marvel? Sure, that's fine. I never said anything against it.
You like 90s characters and Liefeld's masterpieces? That's perfectly fine too. To each their own.
It's the people who whine so loudly and obnoxiously that are giving me fits of anger and disappointment, and because just about 90% of them (in my experience) are people who only watched the cartoons, I've dubbed them as such. If you WANT to consider yourself being a whining asshole who constantly insults the devs and people who don't agree with you on a constant basis for their own preferences, then sure, consider yourself what I dub "X-tard".
I have never insulted people who have opposing opinions in this regard. You could be the biggest Jubilee and Carnage fan in the world for all I care. I would perhaps question your taste in characters/comic books, but as long as you don't shove it down my throat at every possible opportunity to how awesome Jubilee is, and how only she should be the next character, and how nobody else should be considered before adding Jubilee, and how the developers and fans of other characters are dicks because they don't agree with adding Jubilee, or want her right now in the next 5 minutes, you are perfectly fine in my book.
Again, my positions on this topic:
- I want both obscure and popular content to be in the game, because I like diversity.
- I want less popular corners of the Marvel Universe explored, and not just the X-Men.
- Even though I don't like the 90s characters/comics/shows, feel free to like them. I don't care.
- I don't want to see every single thread about characters or upcoming content being full of shit from people demanding their favorite character RITE NAO or insulting the game/devs because their favorite character is not in the game
- I don't want people to be completely obnoxious when Gaz decides to release content they don't care about.
The last point is especially important because I've conceded several characters I personally don't like being really fun in the game, and that I trust Gazillion to make those characters appealing as well. I am actually looking forward to Rogue.
I know I'm being pretty sour about this topic myself, but I've been gangbanged multiple times by people whom I disagreed with, so don't blame me
entirely for being bitter about it. Believe me, Carnage fans can be incredibly nasty.
And lastly, somebody brought up gameplay diversity, so I discussed about gameplay diversity (fine), and suddenly 3 people at once jump at me and tell me "omg but popular characters" while quoting my post about gameplay diversity, instead of going back to one of the posts I made about specifically those popular characters. That just pissed me off, and I feel justified in being pissed off at it because I don't like being led in circular discussions.
