Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

@Broken Adam  
Agreed.

@Broken Adam  
Let me guess, you say that because something popular has realism while something less popular doesn’t.

@Meanlucario
 
No, he’s actually got a point this time.

@Jarkes  
Seeing as America has made slap-shit comedies popular, I doubt it’s “realism” that’s popular.

@Broken Adam  
What exactly would “realism” refer to in this case?

@Meanlucario  
No, but because Americans bash stuff for not being realistic enough , bash in the sense of “only a childish 14 years old could enjoy this shit” and acting like Realism is the only Style that acceptable
 
They do this in Movies, Video Games, literature and even comics
 
I blame this on 9/11

@Broken Adam  
Care to give examples with quotes and links to the quotes?

@Broken Adam  

 
You had me up until here
 
wtf

@.44caliberloveletter  
There’s a reason I can’t take him very seriously.

Being able to have Kaiju Style battles with giant Pokemon is not worth losing the National Pokedex, Mega Evolutions, and Z Moves. It very much feels like a step back.

@Meanlucario  
Did you not see all the “Fantasy is ruining GoT” shit a few years back? That’s a recent example
 
@.44caliberloveletter  
You can’t deny that 9/11 had an overall effect on american pop culture, its like saying that the Vietnam war didn’t. We can clearly see that The tolerance for “Cheesiness” in American media in general went down greatly since that attack , with the idea that American society needs to stop being “Childish” in such a geopolitical climate

@EquestrianScholar  
I don’t think that’s at all unpopular.
 
@Broken Adam  
No, and seeing as GoT is a fantasy series, I feel like the people saying that are also complaining that people reviewing political movies talking about politics.
 
And no, it’s how China has a large amount of the total population and is a large source of income for media that’s why America panders to them, not 9/11.

@Meanlucario  
When did I mention China

@Broken Adam  
I misread “Cheesiness” as “China” somehow. I had a rough night.

@Meanlucario  
Oh, well I guess I should be happy to hear that… Sighs,I still wish there was time to get that fixed or that those in charge will be willing to consider such.

@EquestrianScholar  
We’re all depressed about what Pokemon has become in the Pokemon thread, if you want to join us.

@EquestrianScholar  
Personally, I’m just really tired of these long, overblown screeds people keep posting about Sword and Shield. If you disapprove of the direction the game is taking, then just don’t buy it. All these long rants are doing is giving Game Freak more reasons to disregard player opinions. Not that it seems they were listening in the first place.

@Silent_Witness  
Most of the ones I encounter are at least informative about what’s wrong with SnS, especially with the streams showing the state of the game.

@Meanlucario  
And that’s fine. People have every right to be fed up with what’s going on with the game. But I have a right to be fed up with all the complaints as well.  
…I imagine ghostface would feel quite vindicated if he were still here.

@Silent_Witness  
I’m also tired of it, but I can’t keep away from it since they’re right. Helps that most of it are from people who love the series and who are upset for legit reasons.

@Meanlucario  
And again, I can understand that. But what exactly are people expecting to happen? The game ships out in six days. If people are expecting the game system to be completely overhauled to meet their specifications in that timeframe, they’re absolutely out of their minds.
 
…Maybe I don’t have a right to talk about this. I haven’t been a Pokémon fan for a very long time.

@Silent_Witness  
Overhauled?
 
It just has to be finished.

@Silent_Witness  
It’s not the company they hope are reading them (at least for the most part), but fellow fans, to help us understand just how bad things have gotten.

@PonyPon  
The AAA motto.

@Meanlucario  
If you look at some games, they don’t even need to have that to be put on shelves.
