  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I assume she's singling out a more particular subset that overlaps with crazy fandom nitpickers in general.

    as a wannabe creative type/one who sympathizes with them this mindset agitates me

    I wish I could see what Tumblr sees in Pacific Rim.

    'extremely emotional' things are things people may justifiably care about a lot, nobody believes a show is actually God or whatever, so i'm not sure who JesuOtaku thinks she's addressing, on TVT or off

    Remember Goon Telephone.

    Where one goon would invent something they think tropers would do, and then another goon would repeat it, and eventually you'd never be able to convince them that tropers didn't actually do it, because they heard about it all the time

    no but one person literally did once, so that means that everyone who is a fan of any show does.

    that's just how things are sorry you're going to have to pack your bags and move to the Dr. Whorship Convent.

    at this point I'm not sure what I'm sicker of, media I don't like being praised constantly or people complaining about the media I don't like getting praised constantly. 
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    ...why the doctor who reference?
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    sorry, i think my reading comprehension is not good, i'm sleepy
  • idk it just came to mind as a show you like

    at least I think I remember you liking it.

    My point is, internet personalities: meh.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i get annoyed at doctor who more often than i enjoy it these days but i still watch it so i guess i must like it
  • also this is why hyperbole sucks
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I think y'all are missing the point here.

    Having different interpretations of a thing is OK. Acknowledging flaws in what you love is OK. Getting down on people for pointing out those flaws or not agreeing with you about a thing when they're not outright trying to be a wet blanket or needle at you is stupid.

    Seriously, sometimes you guys just assume the worst of any remotely critical statement.

    Yeah this is probably the correct interpretation.

    I just don't get why it's a particularly tropery thing.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    people should bloody well say what they mean and then i wouldn't assume the worst!
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    The whole "let's not permit snark about works ever" thing that Fast Eddie started is probably what she's referencing. That, and people picking apart media in a particular way and getting dogmatic about what they get out of it, which is not an unheard-of mindset thereabouts.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Okay, but Fast Eddie's policies were never by the will of the TvTropes majority. They loved snarking at shitty things.

    She is, but I think it's a lot clearer if you have the context of the sort of shit that Hope Chapman has had to put up with as a reviewer and a person.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Yeah TvTropes was really shitty towards her. And also the generalized problem of being a woman on the internet.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Eddie's policies did attract an anti-snark crowd

    like i know TVT wasn't that originally or in the majority, but they were present on the site
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    You'd know better than I would.

    Anime reviewer, formerly in video form. Used to be on TGWTG. Ex-fundamentalist Christian. Whip smart, warped sense of humour, pretty analytical particularly by that crowd's standards. Got a lot of hell from stupid people on and off the site for having opinions that not everybody liked, being too high-falutin', not being a dude.

    i don't think so

    obligatory 'but they weren't punk' goes here

    but they had some good songs i think
  • not being punk is never a bad thing

    still not my wheelhouse tho
  • something about the Persona series makes me not interested and i can't figure out why

    (it is a matter of taste, not quality)

    the newest Persona 5 trailer reminds me of Durarara for some reason, and I think I have a similar vibe from that, but it's not the same nor are my reasons for being not interested in it
  • I wish I could see what Tumblr sees in Pacific Rim.
    It's so weirdly polarizing. I think the divide comes from people who care about the amount of effort put into it and those who don't.

    ...that came off as patronizing. I don't necessarily disagree with the latter mindset. For example, Boyhood's gimmick doesn't really appeal to me because I don't see it in isolation as having affected the movie, even if the gargantuan effort necessary likely made the film a better whole. 
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    It was freeing when I learned I was allowed to like music in my generation.
  • when watching Pacific Rim my thought process was basically "How did Guillermo del Toro make something so plain"

    the only bits i liked were the Ron Perlman bits
  • There was a lot of thought put into it, which is evident when you consider that, for example, most side characters are memorable despite not having lines.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    One does not negate the other. Keep that in mind.

    Anyway, I'm heading home. Have a good night, folks.

    don't actually know how microcapsules work, nor do i know allegedly-presently-used amine-based carbon capture technology, but

    > "This innovative gas separation platform provides large surface areas
    while eliminating a number of operational issues, including corrosion,
    evaporative losses, and fouling,"

    trying to make sense of this

    i think corrosion makes sense based on the type of substance used; amines might be less neutral (in acid/base sense) than baking soda though I don't have enough chem knowledge to intuit that for sure offhand

    evaporative losses makes sense because they're using solids rather than gases or volatile fluids -- presume the amines used would have probably been volatile fluids

    fouling - i have on idea what produces the gunk but i presume it's just something that's based on the exact reaction and reaction products that may be able to accumulate

    but anyway this sounds interesting

    Hope Chapman.  Jesuotaku.  I do not like that person.

    Then again, I don't like anyone who was ever on TGWTG.
  • I have no opinion on TGWTG because I've pretty much never watched their vids.
  • We interrupt this discussion to 8ring you KITTENS.
  • i have no opinion on the kittens
  • i am not sufficiently interested in the kittens to load the alleged picture of them
  • how can you not be interested in kittens
  • They are orange and fuzzy and small and cute and there are six of them.
  • Eeeeeeee it looks so wooly I wanna snuggle it!
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
