Site Factions: Pick Your Side

Forum » General Discussion » Site Factions: Pick Your Side 9 posts - page 1 of 1

On one hand, we got the Subbites. Or Subinators. Or Submarines. Sempi Sub! (Always under!)

On the other hand, we have the Sub Haters! Also known as the Subaters! Or Sabatiers, if you're a knife fan. Or if you like Latin, Sub Atra. (Under the Darkness)

...yeah, I know the Sub Haters get a way cooler tagline. Blame Latin, it's a stupid language, I didn't want to be your friend anyway...

On our hypothetical foot, we've got the Nooblings. Charmingly naive things, who keep on churning out guides and god ideas. You've got plenty of heart, but is it in the right place?

On our final limb, we have the Monumentals. Those who've been here, and those who'll stay, perhaps for forever. They are a vessel-race endowed only with prophetic knowledge and lacking all consequence of emotion or personal-thought. ~~They seek to aid the adventurer into lulling the Old One back to sleep.~~

Last, we got the unaligned. Not those who pretend to be, but the ones who are actually unaligned. They're boring.

Pick your side!

This has nothing to do with factions and everything to do with ego.

Stuff like this will literally destroy the forum, it divides users and makes them hate each other for no reason. This is toxic, period.

So dramatic.

I'm sorry, but you're too biased against me to make an acceptable statement in this thread. You're too unqualified, too. You need to be a lesbian like I am to make a valid comment.

In all seriousness, if you don't see how this site is divided into factions, you're blind. And also a fool for trying to stop people from seeing this. People need to be confronted with the recent idiocy on this site.

And frankly, "hate each other for no reason?" If you want to make users not hate each other, then you wouldn't protest over how I'm confronting the fact that I have half a dozen haters trying to snowball me to death whenever someone retaliates to me.

I'm torn between believing two things.

1: You're genuinely too dumb to see how I have an anti-following. Plausible.

2: You know there's a following and want it to last as long as possible. Also equally plausible.

If you genuinely want to know what I think? I think you say things that some users support, others disagree with - like everyone else. It just so happens your a prominent figure, so you naturally have both more supporters - who will also agree with each other often - and more users who disagree with you - who also often agree with each other. A users agreement does not make them fans, a users disagreement does not make them a hater.

I don't come on this forum often enough to state whether factions truly exist, but from what I've seen I don't think they do. To be blunt, I and many users don't come on these forums because of toxic attitudes - like us vs them mentalities - that prevents us from feeling welcome on a public forum.

It absolutely destroys the forum and is almost certainly one of the reasons why its active user-base > which was not particularly large when I first joined > has dwindled further.

Aw, so much hate. Is it because I mocked you repeatedly, FerrumSlash? Are you on the butthurt ladder, FerrumSlash? Will watching more of your terrible anime cheer you up, FerrumSlash? Does this condescending attitude make you feel angry, FerrumSlash?

It's funny how you protest my naming of the factions when they are, in fact, about me. Like it or not, I'm one of the biggest polarizing people on the site. People either like me or they don't.

Also, they're called Nooblings because they are, in fact, noobs. Or do you want me to use "newbies" instead? Or maybe "neophytes?" You know, the people who makes threads trying to say that Hades is a good god. Or the unbalanced god ideas, with no real idea of the mechanics of MOBAs. Or the guide makers who suggest getting Meditation on anyone. You know, NOOBlings.

"What Sub truly is." Welp. If we're creating a society of "truths," then I'll say that you're a perverted weaboo with a stick up his ***. That's the "truth," isn't it?

Sub come on. This could be funny if this was intended as a joke, but it is not. Factions.. Really? And every about you? Is not it a bit ego-ish?
When I came to SF 1 year ago, I looked up to you, read your guides, tried stuff that you recommended, etc. But now you really have fallen in my eyes and I am sure that I am not the only one. Somebody disagrees with you does not mean that he is idiot or something. We all have our own opinions.

This faction ******** will ruin this site. There are not as many people here already, and this will drive new people away. You should understand this better then me.

That's a good point.

Let me ask you something, though. Do you think that there's a group of people who hate me and instantly lock onto me like sharks smelling blood?

When people like Holy Pudding and _angrytoast see this big wall of text and see it as OMG BIG REPLY SUB GOT OWNED? Who kept making posts within the minute about how I was destroyed and how I was avoiding replying to him, because I sucked? I'm fairly certain they didn't even read the thing.

When people like Ghraf literally ask that my thread be shut down because it wasn't true? When people like FerrumSlash keep on hating and hating and hating?

When people like Zanestorm get five rep for literally opposing me and nothing else? Five rep, with no sources, tons of insults, accusations that I'm a misogynistic disrespectful bastard (not my words)?

I got three rep from writing the Dissection thread. I used research, BBC coding, careful, pieced arguments, etc. I even PM'd people like Dacoqrs to keep stuff off the thread.

Go look at Zanestorm's argument, if you please. He got five rep for that.

Now, with these points in mind, can you honestly say that there is not some group of people who can be described as my haters?
