It's just that there is a distinct difference between being edgy and spreading bad faith. It can give them the courage to confront their parroting friends, to have a serious talk with them, and hopefully not end their friendships over what some stupid, hypocritical contrarian jackass spouts.ĮDIT: Goodness gracious, I'm not suggesting censorship for the Game Grumps channel. For these insecure children, it can make a great difference to see that they are not alone in thinking that what Arin says is wrong. But it is no guarantee that will happen if we do stop talking about him. If Arin eventually starts to lose platform once his detractors stop talking about him, then great, I suppose. Try to keep this in mind before you use the "who cares, get a life" argument. For young children, friends come as easily as they go because of reasons similar to what I just explained. Long story short, I grew up witnessing these sorts of scenarios being very much a possibility. ![]() what would you feel, when you suddenly find out that your friends think the exact same thing as Arin, and that they would go as far as to shame others for liking Sonic? But I wouldn't exactly blame you for feeling insecure, whether you are a child or an adult. Would you be able to ignore Arin harping on something you like, even for stupid reasons? If yes, good on you. And just like your friends, you are a big fan of GG and Arin. So, as a very young child, what would you do in this kind of situation: And children are more likely to be influenced and affected by opinions of people they look up to. This is completely ignoring the fact that, which is even acknowledged by the same people who spout the "who cares, get a life" argument, that the target demographic for Sonic (and Game Grumps) is children. INB4 "What was the point of this post?" Counterclaim for Grumptards Angry Video Game Nerd is obviously a bit, Game Grumps doesn't feel like a bit when Arin will praise some games and then shit on others. They can say "Its just a bit!" all they want, but it doesn't feel like one. So of course other people are going to be irritated when someone relentlessly rags on their favorite game. I loved Sonic and the Black Knight as a kid, and I know that its not a very good game in retrospect, but clicking on their video and immediately hearing them make fun of the theme song irritated me beyond belief. I'm sure any logical human being will realize that the game they grew up with isn't as good as it was when they were a kid, but its still special to them. apparently, I don't argue with them, I just heard some other guy say it is.īut anyways, I think these fans fail to realize that other people grew up with the games they play. is an excuse, some Game Grumps fans use when people criticize the Grump's playstyle. Because if you do that, you are spreading fallacies. ![]() I'm not asking you to care, I'm just asking you to not use that logic as some defensive argument. ![]() Just because something doesn't happen to you personally, that doesn't immediately make it a non-issue. Somebody explains how his friends blindly believe Arin's criticisms towards Sonic. It is foolish to defend GG by trying to omit the fact that children have a reason to check out their channel should they stumble upon it. You also need to understand that, on a visual level, Game Grumps produces a lot of content which is appropriate for children the games they play, such as Nintendo and Sonic. ![]() Arin is spreading bad faith with his gaslighitng. But there is a distinct difference between being edgy and spreading bad faith. I'm not asking Game Grumps to censor themselves. "Seriously? Nobody is seeing this problem with Majora's Mask?" "I don't care how positive you are, how can you like Skyward Sword?! How can you not see this?!" "I wanna ask, any Sonic fan, if you could have a game(.)"
