Oversensetive? Hardly.

Completely lacking any level of respect for a group of people willing to ridicule others for a thing so simple as enjoying something they don't, after numerous attempts at peaceful discussion and debate? Definetly.

Lemme put it this way: people who don't like the films have done nothing but give me reasons to disrespect them by how personal they take people disagreeing with them. I know it's convenient to forget who fired first when your deep state of denial as deep as you are, but it's ok. You'll grow more mature in time and come to understand, even if by then it's too late.

The Transformers fanbase? Yes I'm in full agreement.

you can't expect someone to cast a positive vote for something they dis-like.

perhaps those who dis-like the DOTM movie don't want to cast a vote or they want to vote for it's competition. to voice their opinion to hasbro that they dis-like the DOTM movie. perhaps they want to send a message to hasbro they don't want a TF 4 with micheal bay nor shia le barf. Perhaps they feel by casting no vote or voting for the competition this will send a message to hasbro we want a reboot with a different director & actors/actresses/cast.

No I can't. But I can point out the irony of people who don't like the films calling me on it when threads by and for people who liked them have been derailed by sudden interjection of off topic dislike for the films and their fans.

I guess it's not ok when someone who does like them does it.

Oh, and I hate to say but the Transformers fanbase is too small a demographic to cause change in anything anymore. The films guaranteed that. Though thank you for the childish renaming of a person to a gross bodily function to show your dislike of them. I don't like Lebouf, but your little renaming shows you're a paragon of maturity. Typical Transformer's fanboy.

When did you point out irony? i just saw a comment you made about how the fanbase is basically some lowly form of human life.
Next, who said the threads about the movies are by and for people who like the movie? Its a FORUM.... you can't avoid the free exchange of ideas and opinions on forums anymore than you can stop Shia from crying OPPPTTTIIMUUSSSS in every tf movie.
Finally, anyone who says the movie is good or bad is allowed to say it, its their opinion, and it should be backed up by reasons why. This is what happens in a forum. If you can't handle it, maybe you should disconnect your internet.

If there was a thread about the changing schedule of a TF prime episode, you can easily expect to find people saying they hate the show... what are you gonna go after them too, just because its not PRO tf prime? pft.

I think your letting your past experiences in other threads with other members "color" how you you perceive anyone who doesnt express love for these films.

I can't say I blame him. It's hard to keep a sunny disposition when someone needlessly shits all over something you like day after day, after day, after day, after day. If they added any new insights or perspective it would be different. Instead it's always the same "these movies are shit" and "anyone who likes them has bad taste" comments.

Why not take comfort in the fact that something you like isn't liked by everyone, making it that much more unique to your own persona? How about the fact that despite being so diverse in our opinions, we are all still fans of transforming robots? Why always look at things so negatively? Relax, stop caring about others, and don't go looking for conflict. This all began with the insults to the tf fanbase... of which you belong, just to make your point that your unhappy that others don't like what you like. ALL without adding any "insight" into why you like the movies yourself OR even why you think the average tf fan is so "sad".

I can do this all thread long, so you might aswell get back on topic lest I reply further.

I think you missed my point entirely. It's not that people don't like the movies, it's that they constantly butt in with needless shallow complaints about the movies and insults to those that did like them. They don't like it, we get it. We got it 4 years ago. But they keep going, every day. It's like being at a party, you're trying to have a good time and there is some miserable bastard who keeps saying things like everybody there is a loser, the food sucks, the music sucks, he's not having fun, etc. All he's doing is trying to make the people around him as unhappy as he is. It's the same thing here. I'm tired of every thread about the movie being swamped with all the needless negativity. If you don't like something the respectful thing to do is find something you do enjoy and not try to bring everyone down.

Back on topic I did vote for DotM in every category and Starscream Gaga I also voted for Hugh Jackman.

You know what you could do?... you could leave the party... and find a better one. And this is all still besides the point since none of that has ANYTHING to do with this thread. Thats a point you can't avoid, and it pretty much is the only point I need to make to end this entire pointless discussion. If anything, the general concensus in the thread was that most people didn't like the movie. Then you guys "butt-in" and began making passive aggressive comments. The respectful thing to do is to act mature, and in doing so, IGNORE what certain people say, and talk to the ones you want to. If the guy at the party is complaining about the shitty music, YOUR the fool for debating with him for 5 hours about how wrong he is, instead of talking to someone else in the room.
(And for any of you who think you're so sharp for figuring out I'm debating this for a long time as well, well, this discussion doesn't bother me, and I'm sure as hell not going to complain about you to anyone)

Oh just knock it off all of you. No one needs to leave this site.

Seriously, back on topic NOW or warnings get issued.

and I understand those feelings,but like I said, there really wasn't any evidence of "Bay hate" rants in THIS thread.So, dragging those issues here is no better then the guys who start the hate rants.
