WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE?
The article title, the picture atop it, and those excerpts paragraph all have an air of "we win, you lose, thanks for playing!" about it, mocking the Clerith pairing and acting as though this revelation is the end of the LTD forever. Considering all the other good, professional-quality articles you guys produce, that's a very immature way to act. If the site really isn't Clerith hostile and Cloti-biased, you shouldn't make a front page celebrating the debunking of anti-Cloti arguments. I'll wager such a tone wouldn't be taken if, say for instance, the Dissidia 012 Ultimania guide said something to support Clerith."For some time, the love triangle debate has been in what could aptly be described as its death throes. Today, hopefully, we can perform a mercy killing."
"I do not wish to bore everyone with a regurgitation of all the related materials, but this does confirm that yes, Cloud and Tifa’s relationship past this point are that of lovers. And that, my friends, settles the Love Triangle. Even if you don’t want to believe it."
"One last thing, before I go. I have one thought, from Tres himself, that he asked me to relate to everyone. That thought is, “All that’s left to say is: Abandon ‘ship!” Wise words indeed, since that ship has been undeniably sunk, if you’ll pardon the pun, by canon."
If you think what you just quoted is insulting then I don't even know how to proceed. You've fucking lost me completely, man, not sorry to say.

i think the point they're trying to make is not that it's insulting so much as extremely arrogant, and arrogance is a turn-off for potential newbies.
STATING A FACT =/= ARROGANCE. FFSExactly. "And that, my friends, settles the Love Triangle. Even if you don’t want to believe it." The tone is unmistakable - "it's over, you lost, even if you can't accept that." In a way, even the subject of the article is a show of arrogance. "Behold, we have found the one piece of evidence that will end the debate!"
I thought you liked dicksStop being dicks
And TLS being perhaps too abrasive is also true
no that essay is definitely arrogant. sorry it doesn't seem arrogant to you, but it does to most people.
that's what's turning a lot of CxA folks away from coming here, that kind of attitude about shipping just makes us seem smug and douchey and Vendel is always trying to fight every fucking shipper he sees, it just... looks bad on us.
so yeah, while some ~cleriths~ feel ~victimized~, a lot of really cool rational ones won't join because having that kind of attitude about shipping makes us look ridiculously dumb.
I had to beg my friend Pandora to join because you guys really built up a bad name for yourselves.
Either that or you're a fucking hypocrit and is using 'admin' authority to make your opinion validated when in reality it's the same pedantic shit you're rallying against.
Yeah, it just... I guess it really rubbed off on everyone the wrong way, and it's not the only case of that sort of behavior. A lot of people who post on TNC or wherever carry over that smug attitude and it's just... it doesn't make for good discussion. Like I said, it's easier to discuss things with people like Looneymoon and Hitoshura because they're so laid back and aren't going to be like HURR HURR SHIPPING LOOK HOW CANON IT IS and they don't have a pretentious attitude when they talk about anything relating to shipping. It just gets really old really fast.I don't see how TLS' front page is really attempting to be as one-sided on the ship as is claimed. Arrogant, yes. Even then, it's only one person who showcased this so-called arrogance, not the whole site.
But if its an analysis of canon, and that canon happens to point towards Cloud giving Tifa the business, how can you not have a bias?
Or is really as simple as, to take out that closing sentence, and it's perfectly fine?
You know it isn't, but we can all pretend and post lots of these:Or is really as simple as, to take out that closing sentence, and it's perfectly fine?
Ack. Did I dream it up? Was it my imagination? D: I'll look for it. I'm sure it was there.I don't recall a pro-Clerith front page article, but if it exists I'd like to read it.
Also, even if there are a few people being assholes, whatever counts as being an asshole by new Cleris standards....WHY IS ALL OF TLS RESPONSIBLE? Isn't this the same as fucking thinking all Cleris = same. Your hypocrisy ppl, I can't even.
Join if you want to. Don't if you don't want to. It's really that simple.
I've seen Tres' essay, but I've honestly seen worse. Both sides have douchey essays. Both also has long stfu to either ship.
Maybe I am crazy but I only remember the one that I love page, the analysis of said page and uh. That was it.So, um, this is relevant to what I said about a pro-Clerith essay how?
I also never said it didn't seem arrogant. I know it was arrogant. I'm not even sure if we're talking about the same thing here. Is it Tres' essay or Ryu's LTD is over essay? Because the latter was certainly arrogant, but the former was alike the pro-Clerith essay that was also on the front page. Which was what I was pointing to.
One or two people in the forum of 300+ actives =/= whole forum. It's too bad not everyone sees that.
@ Force: It's not about sides. This fucking mentality, FFS. Why do we need a Cleris essay when it's been fucking clear for a while now the story doesn't support it? This kind of pandering is bullshit, imo. It's dishonest.
I expect Clephiroth immediately, then. And you better help.
That's why Zee, Aki and I get so annoyed in here sometimes because all some of you will do is this smug circlejerk and it's neither constructive nor welcoming. It's self-centered and it's a part of what's given you kind of a bad image even with cool clerith folks.
