The hate base on the internet

[DrakeClawfang]

I like Cloud and FF7, but there are plenty of legit reasons to hate it. With the exception of characters who are so well-written or cool it's hard to hate them, or characters who have gotten memetically popular (we ALL know the ones I mean :p), there are valid reasons to hate pretty much any character. They might make little sense to anyone else and you could be in the minority, but hey.

I say you can hate or dislike anything, if you can justify your opinion. If you say you hate Terra because she was weak and angsty, fine. Overcoming those flaws was her character development, so that excuse doesn't work for me, but if that's your opinion it's yours to have. Though personally, how anyone can hate Terra is beyond me...when it comes to Cloud, plenty of reasons to hate him. But if you hate someone or something just because other people like it, that's just as blind and pathetic as liking something for the same reason.

As a note, funny story: when I went into a game store years ago, my friend was there. I wanted to buy FF7 but didn't have enough money, so I bought FF8. My friend said "it isn't great but FF8 is cool. At the very least it doesn't have a whiny emo bitch named Cloud in it." Having already played FF8 once before, I had no reply to that. :p

You can hate or like anything for any reason you like, whether you can "justify" it or not.

Yes, but being able to justify and explain yourself is the difference a rational human being and being a phail moron. You can't just go "Sephiroth is the best villain ever." "Why?" "Just because." You can believe anything, but you have to be able to defend that opinion, if you can't your opinion isn't worth anything to me.

You'll find that most of the internet doesn't feel the need to prove themselves to you (or to any of us).

Some people simply can't be bothered to explain, or their reasoning is too difficult or esoteric for people to understand.

And then there's the "can't quite puit my finger on it" thing. Et cetera.

Magitek. Be quiet now please. Stop making Final Fantasy six fans look like Final Fantasy VII- hating trolls of the universe.

I've also found most of the internet posters are idiots not worth listening to. Correlation?

The same can be said for most of Magitek's posts.

Cool story bro. Not my fault you have learning disabilities.

Once again, another one who has no reading comprehension.

See again, why is it "You don't see things my way, therefore YOU need to broaden your horizons, even though I refuse to see things your way."? Because they don't see things the exact same way you do?

Whatever.

That's pretty insightful. Not that it actually applies to me, because I've seen both sides of the story, as opposed to the rest of the users on this corner of the internet.

Irony?

 

[Joe]

I don't get why people always try to have an argument with a self-proclaimed troll. It's beyond me.

 

[Max Caulfield]

Because the LTD is kind of worn out right now and this is the next best thing.

 

[Joe]

It would seem so wouldn't it?

 

[Dashell]

People like responding to trolls for some reason. It's just the thrill of drama or some such.

 

[Kobato]

I was kind of half- joking with you Magitek. It's not my issue if you can't take a joke. If you laugh the world laughs with you, if you cry... you cry alone buddy.

 

[Dashell]

Ahh yes, blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves for we shall never cease to be amused...
