Corporations have co-opted residual memories of how the videogamw culture was a bullied niche hobby to position...

Fuck off westacuck, I will be buying persona 5 royal and there's nothing you can do about it.

well if the company has made good games before why wouldnt i want to play it? thats like saying you shouldnt buy a car by the same company because your old one broke down after 15 years

>I was never bullied for playing games.

Yea Forums bullies me for what I play.

They're easier for subversion then.

HYPE HYPE GET HYPE

i'm so fucking hype bros

You can't be bullied online or by nerds.

you may mock this guy but at least he genuinely enjoys new stuff. I have trouble liking things as much as I did when I was a teenager.

Japs make degenerate hentai for a reason.

Good for you

True dat. But Yea Forums is chadomain.

Just like you can't be raped if you're a man

He's in.

>E-celeb YouTubers
>Genuinely enjoying shit and not being a type of native advertising

A man can be raped by another man though.
No. The only chad here is me and no one fully agrees with me so you're all shit tasted scum.

many of these advertisers have basically turned their favorite hobby into a job.

Is that image suppose to be the average trannypunk shill?

>A man can be raped by another man though.
Then he is no longer a man. The only way to regain his manhood is by murdering the rapist.

Pre Big-Bang theory/WoW was a harsh time for gamers. But i'd still go back to it compared to the nerd culture shit we have today. At least your fellow "nerds" were passionate about their shit and not just consumerist drones.

>having critical thinking is communism
what

Now communism is "just work and don't ask questions." You give 100% of your workforce and in return get your basic needs covered but not more than any others. In socialism you get "paid" for the amount of your work in relation to your maximal ability.

But skyrim is great it's so open and there's so much to do and you can go here and you can go there and i had fun playing it on xbox i can't wait for the next skyrim game! xD

>CONSUMERISM BAD
>OPPOSE BUYING THINGS
>CAPITALISM BAD DO NOT TRUST

Yeah, you're right. It's just babbies first "DUN TRUST ANYONE" image, posted infront of someone they dislike because something something culture war

Damn this says a lot about society.

I was already in 12th grade when Skyrim and LoL were the big thing. They hype around Skyrim was crazy, since it was and still is such a janky game. I grew up with Gothic 1 and 2 so the Elder Scrolls games always felt quite lifeless to me, still enjoyed Morrowind tho.

>already in 12th grade

it depended on the games. if you played sports games or gta no one gave a shit. if you said you played jrpgs people would laugh at you. and nowdays shit like p5 is mainstream as fuck.

Nah I played jrpgs and a lot of dudes would talk to me about them. The captain of the soccer team and I used to shoot the shit about star ocean 3.

No, it's just something zoomers make up because they heard it was a thing in media. Video games have been mainstream since the 80's. Anyone saying otherwise is just pretending, and using an excuse like "some random mom said vidya is violent" is not a good example. Some people think Harry Potter makes you satanic, but I wouldn't say Harry Potter was anything but an entertainment sensation.

Also this goes for "vidya" in a general sense. If you played C rated games all day, yeah, people would probably shit on you but that is true now.

I understand most of these words on their own. But man, what exactly are you bitching about?

Or don't buy game on impulse
Is it really that hard?

Krautland, we have grades up to 13.

Yes it's either brain dead consumerism or communism.

The question becomes, what the fuck can you enjoy? Take anything you enjoy and flip that image on yourself? See how impossibly sad and pathetic you've made life? Besides, what if you never actually spend any money on the things you enjoy? I think the conclusion here is that you and all the other jaded, depressed pieces of shit are just subconciously trying to drag others down to your level while trying to hide behind some perceived standard.

You could say that about literally everyone here

>the videogamw culture was a bullied niche hobby

This literally never happened. If you were ever bullied it had NOTHING to do with video games. And video games were never "niche" either.

>t. bully justifiying why it was okay to torment awkward kids

ITS OK WHEN NINTENDO DOES IT

lmao no bullying for playing vidya was very normal where i lived, t. 31 year old millenial

>the drone screeches and projects as it strikes out

>Besides, what if you never actually spend any money on the things you enjoy
Then OP's argument doesn't apply to you? Not sure what point you were trying to make here.
>"but what if you just acted reasonably"
Wow, no shit.

It was ok to mildly bully them desu. I saw a lot of awkward kids get "fixed" by some mild bullying. "wow dude your breath reeks, brutal" kid learns to brush his teeth.

>I saw a lot of awkward kids get "fixed" by some mild bullying
kek yeah and ive seen a lot of people get "fixed" with an ar15

t. seething port-beggar who buys every version of pokemon

We really do live in a society.

In that case they either bullied too hard or not enough. Hard to say. I knew a guy who played with barbies, we mocked him until he stopped. Imagine if we had just let him play with barbies?

yeah he could've had fun lmao wtf right?

The wrong kind of fun. That's the problem with zoomers, you don't think there should be any rules. Men should be men.

That's an ugly fucking image and plain retarded sentence, I sincerely hope this whole post is a bad attempt at being ironic and not you trying to be deep.

you don't have the right to tell others what they should consider fun, ostracizing people for what they like is retarded and it makes you a cunt

now admittedly playing with barbies is kinda weird but for all you know the interest surrounding barbies had to do with the clothing and you just stopped a future fashion designer from developing his interests just because you had to act like a flaming faggot

>men should be men
nothing more manly than being what you are and liking what you like despite the norms, besides we don't all have to be soldiers

>Men should be men.
So working a real job instead of browsing imageboards?

You have no obligation to give the weird kid the time of day. You can absolutely tell others what your opinion about them is and they can enjoy. No one ever bullied me because I clearly didn't give a fuck. Maybe, or maybe I just saved a kid from being awkwardly feminine.
Masculinity is a positive trait.
I can do both. Sometimes even at the same time.

>You have no obligation to give the weird kid the time of day.
yes and? so leave him to his weird nonsense, you went a step further
>You can absolutely tell others what your opinion about them is and they can enjoy.
obviously you have that right but bullying is something other than just the expression of an opinion
>No one ever bullied me because I clearly didn't give a fuck.
very epic indeed, stoic even
>Maybe, or maybe I just saved a kid from being awkwardly feminine.
Masculinity is a positive trait.
legitimately maybe yeah, but you could've just sat down and spoke to him about your concern without it being bullying

masculinity is neutral, so is femininity, there's negatives and positives to both

woops fucked up my quoting there my bad, anyway whatever, kids are just assholes most of the time and so are adults so fuck it

Jokes aside I do legitimately think mild bullying is important. It's how we teach social norms and cues. It feels bad when people look at you like you're a retard so you learn not to do that thing. Unless you have autism, but then you were a lost cause.

>fascistic
Stop using words you don't understand, user.

i think there's other ways to teach people not to do certain things but whatever, i guess in a sense bullying does prepare you for reality and it should train you to deal and spar with people

Lol in that case you shouldn't be playing video games user.

This guy looks dumb so his opinion doesn't matter.
Yeah I don't know if there really is. People aren't going to have heart to hearts over every little thing. And that's what I mean, I stress the word mild here for a reason. Obviously some kids are fucking psychos.

In all honesty, I don't get the sentiment of that picture. Is a world where we're all jaded fucks that can't sit down and enjoy something without crying on how everything is going to shit somehow a better world than this one? Are cynical people just that much upset nowdays that they're mad at people who aren't upset as they are these days?

If communism is that shitty, why're there so many cucks who want it.

They've never experienced it first hand, and they have just think that the all it'll do is take money from the 1%, and spread it across to everyone else.

You weren't bullied because of video games, you were bullied because you were a faggot.
Entertainment products that sell millions are not niche. You were not special because you owned a product that millions of other people owned.

There’s a difference between enjoying something and being a corporate cock sleeve like guy in OP image. I enjoy the media I enjoy but have absolutely zero loyalty to the companies that made the media, I have zero problems dropping a series or company on the spot if they fuck up.

people who have accepted they are stupid and or losers who will never amount to anything so they want to bring everyone down to their level, the other is lazy people who want to be cared for like a child for their life.

I depends where and when you grew up, when I was a kid people absolutely got fucked with if it was discovered you played video games, you’d be a fucking dork and get treated like one. Games didn’t become acceptable until Halo on og XBOX.

>kids will never have their gameboy stolen at school anytime
This shit taught you how to stand up for yourself. No wonder everyone is such a pussy now.

A good consumer is one with extreme brand loyalty who buys every product at launch. This is what corporations want.
They do not want you to be discretionary. They do not want you to ask for a better product, or say that you aren't getting enough for what you are paying for, or for you to wait until reviews come out to make your decision. They want you to consume product and then get excited for next product.

>Yea Forums criticizes corporatism and brand loyalty
>literally worships CDPR
Really makes me think

No one is just going to tell this faggot to dilate and move on?
Am i on bizzaro Yea Forums

This. I'd rather fuck my sister than watch a nigger do it.

gameboys never got stolen at my school but pokemon cards did and oh man there were so many bloody noses on the playground over it, stealing a niggas pokemon cards was a good way to get floored.

I haven't bought a game in six years due to being PC master race and pirating everything. I don't give companies money.

based

I think the OP image, albeit maybe not intentionally, is pointing out the strange deistic level of corporatism we're seeing emerge in the modern era.
With no gods or kings to worship, people adapt their spirituality to what is available - and the closest thing we have to that, these days, are corporations and celebrities.

The guy just cried when he watch a Star Wars trailer, and even then I was talking about the guys who made the quote in the first place, as they always seem to be more upset at the people who enjoy things they don't like, more upset than the people who made them.

>fascistic brand loyalty
What the hell is that supposed to mean?

>I grew up with Gothic 1 and 2 so the Elder Scrolls games always felt quite lifeless to me, still enjoyed Morrowind tho.
I couldn't even get into Morrowind. Admittedly, I'm a gothic fanboy, but I cannot fathom how someone could enjoy the wikipedia dialogue system or loading screens that get you into big empty buildings.

everyone on Yea Forums, including myself, is a 6'4 blonde-haIr-blue-eye'd 165+ iq ÜBERMENSCH, so yes, you can be bullied on here and you should feel ashamed when you are.

>I don't give companies money
>except for the companies that make parts for my ultimate gaming master race rig :)))

>as they always seem to be more upset at the people who enjoy things they don't like, more upset than the people who made them.
Well yeah when people get so excited over literal garbage, I think other people who can see if for what it is have every right to make fun of them. Consumers do not exist in a vacuum, if people are buying and praising shit as the next best thing then that's exactly what companies are going to keep making and try to emulate the success of. This is exactly why "vote with your wallet" has never fucking worked with something that is popular in the mainstream.

Fuck off and dilate you fucking tranny. Go fucking join the 40%.

This but unironically

>bullied for playing videogames
is this an american thing

Whoa, /pol/tards argue like THIS?

I don't remember school being like that at all, user. Maybe it was just me, but pre 2007/2004, kids would play GTA or Spyro or Mario or Pokemon or whatever was hot and new. I can't think of a time in my life back to the early 90s when playing vidya had you criticized. I remember teachers being pro-games because they thought the violence argument was bullshit. They would have us do biased discussions in class where 95% of everyone agreed games are fine and only a few Mormons would say otherwise.

Wow, you're such a deep thinker user, tell us more of your original and unprecedented opinions on the game industry

Used that one already, buddy. Do you have any other template responses you learned during your tour here?

Other human beings give me nothing, they don't interest me, they don't love me. There is absolutely nothing to be gained from other people because of how my mind works.

Corporations at least make products I enjoy, while I don't enjoy the company of other people.

Deal with it faggots. Sick of an anime image board telling people how to think.

>abloo abloo he's arguing in favor of compassion he's a tranny

the original quote was just rlm making fun of fanatic consumer culture. liking things is fine but then there are the people who have it define their lives. they buy crap services like loot crate, all cheer at those cult of personality shows at conventions and get mad at sony for making a good financial decision because it crossed disney which is apparently a company that can do no wrong. people let their interests absorb their lives until there's nothing left of their identity but being a part of a greater whole. you could argue it's cynical to criticize people enjoying something but a small part of me finds it a bit sad when someone becomes part of a mass with no self identity.

Except for all the harmful effects it has on consumers

Pokémon was ruined only because of Gamefreak's impeding laziness, and even that's catching up to them.

commercialized nostalgia: the corp

I don't see how that's any different from how it was from something like 10 years ago. I remember complaining about people needlessly going to anime conventions, and buying $20 shirts from Hot Topic, while getting mad that EA is still shoveling out yearly sports titles.
