Well if you have to further elaborate/clarify your point, it seems your elongated responses are either half-hearted or unnecessary. The thing about itis the person criticized the authenticity of his reactions, which is no surprise, I mean it's clearly immature reactions that are exaggerated for effect. Your retort was that "he just does it for entertainment, not to be leet gamers". Well you used hardcore but whatever, that wasn't the point at all and you mindlessly defended with stereotypical frame of mind. It's as if you do more assuming that you expected generic pewdiepew arguments than actually reading the post, or comprehending its point.
Jazeon Wrote:So i'll make it simpler, what measuring stick do we use to determine if what was done by pewdiepie is really bullpomegranate or entertaining. There is no answer because every human looks for different things for happiness, hence we can say that the majority found something they can relate to. In essence just because a few people think it's garbage doesn't make it garbage, you can't automatically put his opinion over thousands of other people, so you have to define what the criteria is for entertainment, which no one can't do for other people, this isn't about morals where there has to be a definite line has to be drawn in the sand. It's relative when it comes to human beings, something like this is not black and white.
A few people think what Hitler did was right, does that mean his decision wasn't justified? Some people believe incest is completely fine, the only thing that really argues against it is a religion, does that make it morally wrong? Is jerry springer or Judge Joe brown considered anything else than trash tv? Doesn't matter if an x amount of people like it, even if it's a majority or a minority, there are stigma's, reputations that follow really anything that exists. Things like that are determined by the opinion and rationalization of the community that is somehow associated with it.
He's an already dying star, people just watch him to give the ole 'hey whats the big deal about this anyway", it's one of those "we're laughing at you, not with you" circumstances. He just went off like a nova because of his timing/unintentional manipulation of how youtube recommends.

What exactly do you call someone who every 1-2 years buys literally the same game for the same price for simply some reskinninung, with not only little to no improvement but can be in fact worse. They buy it because the skills they acquired from playing nonsensical hours on it transfers year to year, so they still have that confidence boost from being good at something that is popular. That doesn't mean the game is not sh`itty, it doesn't even mean its that type of marketing that hasn't ruined the gaming community, it just means that the average person doesn't have the discipline/foresight to say "this might be a bad purchase".

Of course I said well the difference is dota games and pretty unique each game and you almost never face the same exact situation no matter how many games you play (which was my opinion), but I got his point, it's relative what a person likes or dislikes, how long a person will like the same thing over and over again etc. You as a human cannot be the judge of another human's sense of gratification. Judgements like that make you bigoted. Hope I worded that right
There is a difference between making fun of a maplestory player for liking maplestory because it's cartoony, in comparison to the endless amounts of evidence that eventually you will get f`ucked over in some god given way by the company. I can judge you for lots of things, including your choices to your very responses. As a human I have every instinctual right to do so to judge you on whatever because that's how friendships, relationships, are made. That's why the word "incompatible" exists, and it isn't a synonym for "bigot".
As for pewdiepie or whatever, it's a trashy type of entertainment, much like daytime tv is nowadays, thats his stigma, his reputation. Plus if you want to watch a hardcore lets play where they complete the game, you're looking at play troughs with no commentary. All of your reasons for liking him, are pretty generic, it just be safer to admit you indulge mindless entertainment to pass the time by, which is why people seek entertainment, not necessarily for happiness.
