You argue for the toy as being great and make negative comments about other toys out the other side of your mouth.
exactly what negative comments about other toys have I said?
the way I see it, as a 'new guy' is this:
Here this guys taken the time and effort to take pics, transform the figure so he can have pics in each mode, has it with another figure so people can see size difference, resized and posted all the pics, just so people can see him a little bit better. And what does he get? Comment after comment that all say to paraphrase, "this figure sucks."
So then when I make a post saying that it's actually a really cool figure and make some specific points about it, I get singled out and basically mocked as being an "oh you new guys"
What was right about that? I liked the movie and I like UltimateBB, yet whenever I express that it's always 'the new guys' or whatever, like my opinion is worthless and I don't know what I'm talking about.
I said what I felt at the time, that alot of the people who say that UBB sucks don't own him, or are repeating what I consider to be the popular opinion. I see alot of that in life, not just on this board.
The hypocrisy is overwhelming when it comes to the majority. If everyone hates a figure, then jump on the one guy who likes it. If everyone loves a figure then jump on the one guy who doesn't. Same with the movie.
Honestly I can't figure out why everyone on this board fights all the time. I just left being a moderator at another board that I was on for many, many years because I got tired of all the bickering. I really don't understand why if we're all here because we love Transformers, why do there have to be cliques and groups and separate clubs, etc. This is an amazing website with an amazing board, which is why in the few spare hours I have everyday I've been spending them here. It's multicultural and there's people from every country here, it's awesome. Yet thread after thread is basically fans saying, "if you don't agree with me you're an idiot."
I just don't get it.
If you feel like I offended everysingle fan here, then I apologize. I was just expressing what I've seen, and I didn't mean at this particular board. I deal with fans everyday. Some of them are online, and believe it or not some of them are fans of me and my own work.
But the root word of 'fan' is 'fanatic' and believe me when I say there are a lot of fanatics out there with no social skills who try and bully people into thinking what they think, and if they still don't agree then they're an 'idiot.'
It gets old.
