This really helps as someone who adores Persona 3 who frequently talks to newer Persona fans who haven't played 3 but have heard that it's an unplayable atrocity
I've not played Persona 3, but I'm in the middle of playing Persona 4 Golden. I was playing Strikers before, but took a break to finish P4G. This is my favorite Persona so far, I like it more than P5. I want to play Persona 3 sometime, but the issue of emulation comes up. I'd rather have official mouse and keyboard controls.
As someone who started with 3 FES, then played 4, then 5, I can recognize how much 5 spoils us with its QoL choices. It’s far from unplayable, but trying 3 after 5 really *is* like running into a brick wall. It just goes to show what we were conditioned to tolerate back then and what we take for granted today.
@@Deoxys_Used_Mimic Yeah I can agree. 3 is a good game but it's gameplay is frustrating at times. I don't blame people for getting frustrated with it even though I like it.
The problem that often happens when talking about liking a thing that's unpopular is this sort of knee jerk instinct to get really defensive about it. Like you take the general consensus of people shitting on the thing as kind of a personal slight and thus you get into that aggressive fight or flight mode where you start calling everyone who has the opposite opinion a tryhard or something. I'm very guilty of doing this.
This is often the real problem with liking unpopular things. Don't get defensive about your likes, don't go around giving it any objective stances of quality or say things like "this is the game of the year". Just like it, and tell anyone who doesn't like it that that's fine.
Honestly I think the problem is failing to separate objectivity from opinion. Something such as a game can be objectively bad, but simply put there is literally nothing stopping you from loving a bad game. The fact we conflate opinion with a value statement of a game is why we have so many problems. Fither mentioned it in the video but for example I absolutely love Sonic 06, I will defend many aspects of it and say that it is not as terrible as people say (it still is bad though) but despite my love for it I will still say it is a bad game. Separating your opinions and actual objective criticisms.
Same. I love the Yo-Kai Watch series, and I get very annoyed if someone calls it a Pokemon clone. I get where they are coming from, it being a monster collector game and all, but Yo-Kai Watch is so fundamentally different from Pokemon, that I feel that people are so quick to dismiss something they haven’t probably experienced.
@@thepurplemudkip9998 quote from the Megami Tensei Wiki: "Mementos, also known as the Prison of Sloth, the Prison of Regression, or the Prison of Acedia"
When I like something that the internet hates. I tend to gaslight myself into thinking I hate it too. In fear of being viewed as someone with bad taste.
Let's be honest: Most of this BS comes from Twitter. I stopped using Twitter since November of 2020 and I feel so much better. Even though there are great people on Twitter and I talked to a ton of great people on there, they are being buried under the constant negativity. Not only that, I heard from someone that still uses Twitter that Twitter has been falsely suspending accounts that pretty much did nothing wrong. So let me get this right: Doing shit that is against the Terms of Service like harassment won't get you suspended for the most part, but people that did nothing wrong get fucked over? Yeah, fuck that social media platform.
Twitter is the UA-cam comment section as it’s own website. Not everyone there is awful, but at least on Reddit, the hive mind mentality is baked into the site with the inclusion of communities, Twitter is a hive mind because most people on it are morons. You have nothing to gain by being on it, and everything to lose
yeah, i stopped using twitter around the same time. Dont know if you knew him, you probably did, his name was Roy. He made a name for himself among the community for being that ultimate Rise simp on twitter. If you didnt well, tldr he dedicated his account to basically simp for Rise, he never bothered anyone, he never attacked anyone, but of course because its twitter, a bunch of assholes started making fun of him for it and he just wasnt the same anymore ever since. After that, some cancel culture prick dug up some stupid comment he made a while back, blew it out of proportion and well he got harrassed. Mah boy Roy (i believe he's now called Rimi on twitter) got fucked by that wave of negative asshats.
Never used Twitter in all honesty. Part of me kinda wants to make a troll account their to purposefully piss off people just to see how bad the Twitter shitstorm can really be.
@@hylianfelldragon1308 Okay, that actually sounds kinda interesting (I don't like Twitter negativity but I would want to see how far 1 comment would go).
honestly this vid helps a lot. Ive gone through a lot of self-doubt and anxiety throughout a good chunk of the lockdown because of how the perception of persona and its community has changed for the worst. I love persona and smt, i loved to interact with the community, share memes, share my passion, maybe even some shitposting and simping but when the whole "hahaha persona fans pedos hahaha" thing blew out of proportion to the point people were unironically believing it, it started to take a toll on me. At that point, i felt like i couldnt even mention that i liked persona without being labeled a pedo so without noticing, i wanted to stop liking these games because of it. Every now and then, when anxiety wants to come back to me or i just feel down i go back to your "why i stopped using twitter" video. I think ive watched it like 5 or 6 times by now and thanks to it, i stopped using twitter. Ive been overall just better with myself, anxiety doesnt kick in and ive just been happier. Ive been enjoying the hell out of persona 5 strikers and i think i might be ready to go back to p5r and finish it
yo i know this comment is 2 months old now but like ive felt exactly the same way as you and i started to become really insecure about liking persona because of how much more negative the perception of its community has gotten and the "funny haha pedo jokes". as someone who likes persona a little bit more than smt not because i think its better, but because the more down to earth setting and slice of life stuff really resonated with me i kinda beat myself up about liking it so much for a while and felt really bad for resonating with those games as much as i did. i know how stupid that mindset was and i think i'm breaking out of it, but i felt that way for a pretty long time because of how much i genuinely loved those games. idk i just saw this comment and felt like you went through the same thing i was feeling so i just wanted to reply and i hope you continue to enjoy the things you like and not let others ruin something special to you, weather it be persona, smt, or anything else.
@@wombocorp yeah i went through the same thing but i dont think its a stupid mindset at all. Most of us, if not everyone, either directly or indirectly seek some sort of public or social approval on the things we do or like. You can say "ugh i dont give a shit about what others say" and pretend youre above it all you want but it will eventually get to you and i believe its what probably has happened to a lot of people. If you like something that is surrounded by nothing but negativity and bad perceptions, of course its gonna eventually take a toll on you. As dramatic as all this may sound, it is true. Now, not only do i barely interact with western persona communities but i kinda feel like just liking these games makes me a target online which is why i dont necessarily hide it but it isnt something im gonna be telling to anyone. I honestly blame the covid pandemic on this because i remember that back in 2017 the persona/smt community wasnt like this
The thing that always pisses me off about the entire concept of shitting on other peoples interests is there's always this weird psychoanalyzing aspect to it, it's like "You like a thing, that I don't? must be derived from some kind of personal failing that i have now attributed to you"
Sometimes it's hard to talk about something you like when alotta people don't like or care about it. But it's always fun to talk about unpopular things.
One of my favourite anime of 2017 was Juni Taisen, and I don't know if it's for qualities that are overlooked, self-inserted, or surface-level. But yeah, I think it's safe to say it got dunked on pretty hard wherever I look, and it still hasn't affected my overall enjoyment of it.
This was a very good video on a topic that frustrates me. When it comes to unpopular things I hate when something previously perceived as amazing is suddenly "not good" anymore because a couple of people on the internet said so. When someone decides to trash something that was popular a lot of the time I see people who haven't played it agree because they automatically assume it's bad from what little they see of it and I also see people who did like it say they don't because they don't want to be ridiculed. It really sucks that some people have to convince themselves the thing they loved is no longer good anymore because it's no longer the popular opinion to like it. Sorry if this rant was too long but I really hate seeing how disgusting people are to people who don't follow the norm, it reminds me that a lot of us haven't grown up and still act like we're in cliques or something.
It's sad but it really feels like a lot of people are frankly just sheep. People kind of just follow along or don't form their own opinions on it. I feel like most people dare looking for a community to share in more than just having a good show.
@@laststep56 Yes, it sadly feels like people are less concerned with sharing something they love no matter how popular or unpopular it is and more concerned with hating on something that's popular to hate on without experiencing said hated thing.
@@ChromaBlade Idk if I would say you need to experience everything before you can critique it or even dislike it, but the idea of others not being allowed to like it is the problem. I think people tend to sheep both ways really, I just want people to understand where it is useful to be analytical and objective and where that ends and you end up in an subjective environment.
@@laststep56 It's called groupthink and a lot of people are guilty of it, people form themselves into codependent crowds and can't form nuanced opinions like "this small thing might make me uncomfortable for a little bit which sucks but the narrative structure and characters are pretty good!" It's physically impossible to form nuanced opinions when affected by groupthink.
@@md-fi7zt I've never heard anybody say anything bad about P1 or 2, mainly because they don't exist. No, but seriously, I only know one person who's played the games before 3.
It because there are a lot of people who get pretentious about liking an unpopular game, I've seen people try to pull a "You just didn't get it/play it" when I literally finished the game 5 seconds ago and explained in detail my issues with it
As long as they're not trying to convince everyone else that it's a masterpiece they don't understand, without addressing the critiques surrounding it. Or judging it for features that aren't present in the actual game. But when it comes to people who just like the game and don't feel the need to justify it every time, sure. I like plenty of unpopular or negatively-received games like Nights: Journey of Dreams, Earthbound Beginnings, Sonic & The Black Knight and even MGS4 and Twin Snakes.
@@md-fi7zt The way fans of 2 dismiss every other Persona game, including the first, as inferior has made me dislike them. I agree that P2 is massively underrated, and I even agree its story is better told than the Modern Persona games, but heaven forbid you to say anything nice about the narrative or the characters in Modern Persona games because they'll claim you only like them because of waifu dating or because you like anime. Bonus points if they only talk about Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment doesn't come up once. Source: Met a guy who embodied that mindset, and said that P5 was bad because "You only buy airsoft guns and not real ones." Said guy would also fellate P2 (and SMT: Nocturne) any chance he got.
This topic kinda relates to how I want to eventually play Spirit Tracks despite hearing nothing but horrible things about it, because if being on the internet has taught me anything it’s that people’s genuine issues with a game can get overblown once they reach the public opinion
Its gameplay is good its just the ai that gets people mad cough MARIN KARIN but you can always fix that by emulating it, and modding it with controllable party members
The thing I realized is that normal people don't talk in tweets. The number of timrs I've wanted to maybe have a discussion, I usually just stop myself. People on the internet aren't looking for actual discussion, they just want their opinions to be validated.
While I do value disccusions about the quality of different types of media, the truth is that 90% of the time these type of discussion are worthless, since most people dont really want a discussion, they just want their views to be validated.
@@frostycane5134 Would be suprising to me because in my experience, the places I were in (Twitter, Discord) were full of Xenoblade 2 elitism, to the point when I felt genuinely uneasy mentioning the first game (the reason I was in the Xenoblade community in the first place) because I knew I would only bring a toxic mob onto myself. It's why I now have a huge distaste for that game's community.
@@NintendanGX sorry to hear that. I love both games and I didn’t know the community was gate keeping. In my feed all o saw were comments saying that “ she’s a wasted slot” and “ another sword character “ I hope you guys weren’t discouraged from play the game. It’s such an amazing experience
As a FF XIII and XII fan, yeah, i get this. I just like how they play and i really like the characters and stuff. I think theyre fun. Thats all really, dont need a whole essay saying why i like things like people on twitter expect, i just like it.
What annoys me about the XIII haters is that they'll keep saying you can auto battle through the whole game and when pressed it's revealed that they either haven't played it, or that they got to the Asterprotoflorian or Odin, got their asses kicked and then started bashing it despite the fact that them losing pretty much proves that auto battle is not the idiot proof win button they claim it to be.
@@GodOfOrphans I just don’t like it because of the characters and linearity. The combat system is one of the aspects I actually enjoyed. Still not a terrible game, just kind of a let down. If peeps liked it why take away their fun? On the flip side, I love FF12. I legit thought that game was amazing, but I’ve never met anyone who has played it.
@@SaberRexZealot Well I played a little bit of 12 and really like what I've played so far, only reason I haven't really gotten into it is due to gamer backlog, but I plan to 100% it eventually and I main Gabranth in Dissidia, at the very least you've officially met someone who's played it now ;). Back on 13 I can definitely see lots of good reasons to dislike it, the characters are hit or miss and the story is extremely reliant on it's characters since the linearity hurts the worldbuilding, which is a real shame because what's there is good it's just shunted off to the datalog with minimal ways to really interact with the game world to make it feel alive and not just like a roller coaster with a plot. The characters can make up for that but only if they happen to be a hit which for a lot of people they weren't and even I can't deny a lot of wasted potential despite them being a hit with me. I just wish the good constructive critiques of 13 which do exist weren't buried under piles and piles of regurgitated game plays itself memes and demonstrably false auto battle being idiot proof nonsense.
Dude, I'm right there with you. I genuinely believe that, when looking at it under a critical lense and weighing the pros and cons, Sonic Adventure 2 is still an objectively good game. I don't need Arin Hanson, Somecallmejohnny or ProJared's validation or anyone else's. I played it again after many years, came to that conclusion, and loved it, and that's all that mattered. If we get a Sonic Adventure 3, and/or Fang The Sniper is a playable villain, I'll be content.
Kinda late to the party but yeah I can very much relate. This series's been with me for as long as I can remember and I love it a lot, seeing so many debates about what is and isn't a good game is just extremely tiring
It's fuckin' worse for me cuz my friends will make fun of me for enjoying stuff, not because they think it's bad, but because they've *heard* that the fandom surrounding it is bad, and that somehow makes the show or game bad by proxy.
I love these kinda videos it just kinda has that atmosphere to it where it's like you and your bud talking about random stuff. Definitely reminds me of when you told your story way back when you were talking about your sleep walking stories. Love it!
It would be nice if Twitter was just taken down, or at the very least heavily altered from it's current form. It's a great announcement platform, and there are probably other good points, but the conversations that happen there just seem to be overwhelmingly unhealthy discourse. I feel like it's just an outrage machine churning out public discontent.
i can 100% confirm that second hand hate is a plague because i swear i enjoyed both Rick Astley's never gonna give you up and Bleach as a child then disliked them for multiple years because funny people on the internet said its bad and then realized that i always liked the song a few years later and recently re watched bleach and genuinely enjoyed it even more than my younger self did.
The thing that can suck sometimes is that sure, you don't have to explain why you like this thing; but if the general consensus is that the thing you like is bad, it can feel isolating. Sometimes you just wanna talk about the good in something, especially when that thing used to be tlaked about in high regards. I have heard so much bitching in recent years in the KH fandom about how basiclaly every game that Osaka Team made is just terrible. I'm so fucking tired of it dude. I remember when people actually used to like Birth By Sleep. It's by no meand a perfect game, but it was enjoyable. I just wish it wasn't as hard nowadays to find people who wanna talk about the good in media.
As someone whose favourite game is Xenoblade 1, I didn't hate Xenoblade 2. I was just disappointed with it, and all the flaws that weren't present in the first. Still, I didn't judge it based on its artstyle change, and I wanted to play it for myself before making any assumptions, and I'm glad I did. I saw a lot of genuinely good ideas that could be fleshed out and expanded upon, and sure enough, I got that with Torna: The Golden Country.
@@landondotson5469 Yeah but there are quite a few detractors as well. Sometimes it's understandable like it's slow pacing at the beginning, tutorials being useless and some general iffy mechanics. Other times it's for stupid shit like 'large anime titties so game bad'.
normally i would agree with everything you said, but i want to talk specially about "you don't have to care about what other people say", because in most cases i don't really care about other peoples opinions (specially if it's on twitter) but then you have those things you like that won't continue because of bad sells or bad critics, that's when i start to care anyways i really liked this video
Persona 3 (post Persona 5) Persona 5 (post Joker in Smash) On a similar subject: the dancing games (especially 3) Most of the 3D Sonic games (my favorite being Generations) FUCKING POKEMON (especially post gen 8) These are a few of my favorite games/franchises and thus I am no stranger to liking an unpopular thing. Thanks for the advice and also, fuck Twitter.
I love 3D Sonic more than 2D Sonic, so I feel you there. Sonic Adventure 2 is a game I genuinely think is objectively good, when weighing the pros and cons.
It goes both ways. There are some groups of people who will mercilessly pile on you for expressing a negative opinion about a popular thing, and only want mindless gushing devoid of any critical thought. There are so many types of people on the internet, particularly social media, that you can get a negative reaction about anything you say. Someone can always find a way to bitch. I honestly think that humans aren't really meant to interact with so many people at once, because it all just becomes this overwhelming blurr of noise and opinions. And people just turn off their empathy a lot of the time online, forgetting that there are other human beings with feelings just because their animal brains can't comprehend not seeing facial expressions. It really is healthier to just avoid social media and stick to a smaller group of people.
I just like what I like and don't give a shit what others think about my opinions. If people get annoyed at that, good their suffering feeds me. If I want to debate on objective quality they'll have to deal with me wanting to define everything and most people back off at that point.
Welp ended up here randomly after searching something, but these are some nice words of wisdom! I am cursed to just naturally enjoy things people hate, and hate with a wild passion, and sometimes it gets me hella down BC legit am usually getting verbally criticized for liking shit, usually characters. Kinda weird that people base your worth as a person on characters you like? But they prob do it with anything they can put you down for. I like your closing statement, BC even when you know it's true, it's nice to hear someone else say it so it's easier to remind yourself.
A few examples I have are these: Brave because I love the struggles between mother and daughter. Frozen 1 and 2 because of the earnest writing and strong development for Elsa. Kingdom Hearts 3 because I really like the story and characters (except for Kairi). I honestly didn't care much for the original Soul Eater, but I really loved Soul Eater NOT! with having the main cast feel like true friends and being a nice journey for it despite the chill tones.
One thing I've noticed that people tend to blow flaws out of proportion, to the point that when I play something that has those flaws, said flaws aren't nearly as bad as I was lead to believe.
People just need to realize that enjoyment is not the same thing as quality. People can like bad things and vice versa. Just dont act like it's not what it is. Theres a difference between saying "it's the best" and "it's my favorite" same thing with "it's the worst" and "I didnt like it"
This is important as some of my favorite games... have huge issues. I can't deny it at all. If I choose to ignore those flaws I'm only hurting what I love.
This. This! THIS! As someone who adores Persona 5 and has Royal as his favorite game of all time, this video really spoke to me. Before I played Royal, the negativity around Persona 5 was at an all time high. Made me really question if I like the game myself. I honestly felt like it was wrong for me to even enjoy Persona 5 when so many people on Twitter seems to hate it and even sometimes outside of Twitter. It's so bad that now if I ever recommend Persona 5 to someone I'm just expecting them to hate it... I then played Royal when it came out though and remembered why I love the game so much. I was having so much fun re-experiencing a story and characters which I genuinely loved and the new 3rd Semester was the cherry on top! It was then on when I started to become more assertive in my opinions and stopped focusing on what other people think. Those people who shove their favorites down others throats and get on your ass for liking a certain game are the scum of the earth fr. The internet has also made me hate the word "Objective" or "Objectivity". It just sounds so pretentious every time it's used, like "This is FACTUAL bad, now hate it too!". It's even worse when people don't even use the word right. Art is a very subjective medium. There is a level of objectivity to it and you can sure view it under that lens, but ultimately what determines if you like something will come down to preference, which is subjective. I see people saying things like "This is objectively the best cast in the series" and then see someone saying otherwise. That objective claim has now turned subjective, it's even worse with Persona since this series has given us a diverse cast of characters built with many of their own charms. Like, P4's and P5's character developments - aside from their introduction arcs - occur in the SLs/Confidants while P3's character development occur mainly in the story; that's objective, however that doesn't automatically mean everyone is going to like the P3 cast over P4's and P5's. It's a matter of preference, plain and simple. It's as though people believe coating their subjectivity under the veil of objectivity will strengthen their opinions and make them more valid/true when it just makes them look like annoying pricks when analyzed. Once objectivity enters a subjective matter, that discussion normally loses all nuance for these reasons. Just let others enjoy things. You can disagree, that's fine, but not everyone is going to think the same as you. It's good to have debates, but keep it healthy. In my opinion, the most important thing that matters is having someone understand your view. Convincing them is just headache, lol. And so ends my rant.
@@knightspartan7201 Royal for sure fixes a number of issues in the original Persona 5. Unless you're really picky on difficulty, it's the definitive version. Persona 5 is by no means a perfect game but it's a game that I've personally had the most fun with in not only the series but all of gaming. Royal only reinforces my love for it too, especially by giving one of my favorite stories ever in the 3rd Semester.
As a Sonic Fan, trust me, its better sometimes to not talk about that, and i just hate how the media has come to this point when Sonic does ANYTHING and it has to be bad,
As someone who has Sonic 06 as a major guilty pleasure and who loves Code Vein to death despite a lot of people either not caring for it or just disliking it (IBlameIGNPartially) this is something I have to deal with a lot and I’m glad someone’s talking about it. Also even narrowing it down to just characters in the story, I love Yuzu in Devil Survivor but basically everyone hates her so even there it’s just kind of a ‘like what you like’ situation
Many reddit communities are hivemind hugboxes where you are downvoted to hell for saying something who does not fit the consensus. Sure, still far better than twitter, almost anything is superior to twitter.
I hate reddit, but at the same time without it i would never knew how to pass through some game Bosses, and emulate some games lol While twitter, everything that i had there was bad
Megaten comunity in nutshell: Persona: P2 and P1 elitists, people who only watched P5 in UA-cam and say that they are the biggest fan of the franchise and portbegg, Meme makers who laugh of the same joke since the game's launch and just normal fans Shin Megami Tensei: They are way more chill and Okay to talk about the Shin Megami Tensei games, but if you disagree with their opinion Either they will debate like normal people or will they want to execute you in a public square, especially if you like modern persona so basically Normal fans and Elitists Jack Bros. : Average Game of culture enjoyer
@@onewingedren2228 SMT fans also tend to make the same jokes as well (one more god rejected, hehe Nocturne hard, Walter using Agi on Minotaur, play a real SMT game, etc.) although tbf every fandom has jokes that get used over and over again.
The second point is one I use all the time when talking about my favorite Pokemon, Klefki. My personal enjoyment of it is what got me into competitive play since I used it on a competitive team, shiny hunting as I hunted for a shiny one, and the deeper lore and reasons behind why some Pokemon are the way they are. Without Klefki I wouldn't be as big of a Pokemon fan as I am.
I wasn't referring to Touhou- that series isn't obscure at this point. I mean look at all the fanart and those fan albums. Chances are if you've been on the internet, you've encountered Touhou one way or another. At the time I was thinking of the VN The House in Fata Morgana, which is definately more on the obscure side.
Being a hitman reborn fan is like bleach but you just swap people not liking it with haven't watched it because of the first 20 episodes or what's that.
@@kimishou I actually bought the Digital Deluxe edition and didn't realize that it comes with a copy of Re: Hollow Fragment. I was pleasantly surprised.
I mean, the games are good. The anime, not that much. But I'm not a "bully SAO fans" guy, just think it was a disappointment and waste of potential. GGO Alternative was kinda fun, actually.
That moment when I Genshin Impact literally just makes me uncomfortable because NOW everyone seems to like it meanwhile when I played it off launch all I ever heard was people mouth breathing and fucking screaming about breath of the wild whenever I mentioned it
If you like an unpopular manga or especially light novel, get ready to be disappointed by the fact it will likely never receive a complete translation, I got into the Boogiepop light novels as the new anime was coming out expecting the series to receive a good surge in popularity and receive more translations as a result, only for the anime to be bad and for people to forget about it before it even finishes airing Edit. This video isn't really about what I thought it was gonna be about but I needed to talk about this, therapists are too expensive
Seven Seas better not be using the crappy 2019 anime as an excuse not to bring us the rest of the light novels, because I want more story beyond At Dawn and King of Distortion. As far as we're concerned, the Towa Organization is still at large.
I also agree with you on your point about people on Twitter looking for things to grandstand over, instead of being inspired by them. Its like you really have to walk over eggshells and be a squeaky clean slate for the first 30 years of your life in order to be a well respected famous role model. Whatever happened to the Babe Ruths and Michael Jordans of society?
In you want to have an actual discussion about something you like, do it with people that you trust to actually listen to you. They don't have to like it. They don't even have to agree with your points. But make sure the other person/ people will at least hear you out. The internet is generally not the place to do that, outside of friend groups or specific forums/ chats. Group mentality is a powerful force, and majority is all the stronger in a sea of everyone talking at once.
When you said DMC 2, I was like..... you know what, I actually like it a lot and I kind of grew up with it and have some very dear memories. I agree with pretty much everything you said. The most important thing is for us to avoid attacking or shaming people for what they like in general, even if we think it is bull. Also just walking away when someone just tries to persuade you that what you like is bad, is the best thing to do.
I feel bad because I'm totally that guy. I take the subjective value of things and tell my friends the problems of those things. My stupid autismo brain doesn't realize how cruddy that is in the moment, but I just want a good logical explanation of people's opinions but that's sort of a stupid thing to expect out of people.
You say it's very hard to convince someone that something they like is bad and vice versa. Well I hated Sonic 06, saw a video essay on it, liked it, saw another one, hated it, then saw another one and liked it again. None of my opinions are set in stone, even the ones like murder is bad.
I haven't ever been dogged on for liking something that's considered bad. But now and again I feel like I'm wrong for liking that thing. Of course I'm not, it's just my perspective at the end of the day. Glad to know I'm not alone in a lot of stuff you mentioned here. Nice video!
I had a group of friends on Xbox that attacked me anytime anything even close to anime was mentioned I would be called a weeb I could be talking about freaking Final fantasy or zelda and that was considered weeb shit
I always brush those types of people aside if they can't accept me liking those things. It's not killing them, so they don't need to get on your case about it
@@zero123alpha6 The games aren't really as deep as other action games (outside of Basara which is done by Capcom so it has a lot of DMC inspiration in it) but you can just turn your brain off and go to town on 1000 bad guys.
I enjoyed The Last of Us 2... I’ll admit some characters were dumb and some plot stuff was a bit underdeveloped, but I liked the gameplay, I loved the music, and even when a stupid scene occurred, I could just laugh at it and be like “haha thats funny moving on”
My video game hot take is that I actually enjoyed Life is Strange. It might be considered terrible and Tumblr af but I played it during a emotional time in my life and while I'm MORE than aware of it's short comings it's still one of my favorite games of all time.
That's a pretty good mindset I think last of us 2 was absolutely horrible. ruins a last of us IP completely and Has places stain a naughty dog that they will never get off for a very long time. But the fact that you Have a meh good enjoyment towards it. Plus not trying to push it above anything else. Even though I disagree with you. I see no reason why even have an argument. It would be like a battleship going out of its way to go after driftwood.
Part 6 it's my second favorite, and with time I saw that many people started to like her and probably more will come with the anime(except people who will get pissed off with the ending)
Honestly I prefer to leave things as they are. I've always liked unpopular things more, not because I'm an elitist but because they have a different vibe, it feels more mythical, there's a stronger sense of community and it's usually cool stuff. Personally, I don't like to talk to anyone about what I like because I have a very intimate relationship with the entertainment I consume, it's definitely fun to have a good talk with someone but when I explain why I like it, it's like I stopped feeling it inside of my, as if I let it go something. Worse if when talking about that, I let the other person know that a certain anime or video game exists. Another reason is that the vast majority want their franchise to receive more recognition, but at the same time when it becomes more popular it brings some problems. When something becomes popular, people don't hate it just for that, they start to get sick about seeing it all the time and being a larger community means that there are more chances of meeting problematic people, people who have no real passion and give it a bad image to the community and therefore to the franchise. I already had bad experiences with Persona and Danganronpa, the games were relatively unknown when I discovered them, there weren't many people talking about it and you could still see a dedicated comunity, when the games began to be more recognized things changed, it no longer felt special, the fandom It was filling up with more disastrous people and in a whole they ruined the experience to the point that I no longer wanted to see anything from Danganronpa and Persona, currently I can't see anything from those franchises because I'm sick of it, I don't like them anymore, it's sad that they ruin you something you used to love. Because these experiences I am terrified of some franchise getting a little more attention even if it's for good, like with Yakuza and the baka mitai. Basically I fear the degeneration of a fanbase / Hobby at the point I prefer liking something in silence, otherwise it ruins enjoyment and vision, I stop enjoying something at the same level or totally when becomes popular because: 1-I like to belong to a community / Lodge with unknown knowledge by most people. 2-Talking repeatedly about something you like becomes tiring, you start to see errors that you had previously ignored, you can even start to see it as faulty. 3-You lose passion, you no longer see anyone with true passion or not at the same level, it is difficult to find it. 4- The mysticism, mystery, the unknown, intrigue and magic are lost. These are also reasons to avoid liking popular things.
One of my favorite characters from the sao series is Premiere and well she was a main character for a game like 4 years ago it was a good game and she had better character development then most of the anime cast and well she is well underated to me. Most people who played the sao games knows her and well like her but its well still small compared to the rest of the sao community who only seen the anime or played one game which was fatal bullet that sold more then hers which I don't mind. But my god in the gacha game community is so annoying cause they rather see the girl antogonist be naked or another Asune which she already is close to 100 units Premiere only had 4 and hasn't had one in 2 years. It makes me mad that people want something horny and booba over a good character and I had some people try to help her get some attention from a game character contest which she was in and well they attacked one of my friends cause they just wanted Asuna in a school girl outfit or Yuuki over a character that hasn't had any attention for 2 years. Its just sad that one of there games may shut down and she never got to be current meta. She is like the Ayane of Persona 4 and has a low chance of getting a new unit cause rather milk the anime then be original and bring back old characters with updated designs.... (Oof I typed so much)
Twitter is the worse place to do that stuff, I don't use Twitter, unless I look for art and funny shit, which I'd rare to find funny shit. I had to tell someone that a series I am into say that this series doesn't plagiarize its music, (but I didn't tell, it was more of a show with evidence) and a person legitimately retweeted and said because of men can plagiarize and all I did was ignore it cause I knew it was gonna be a nonstop, it was legitimately the dumbest reason a person said a reasoning. And it was K-pop stans and doesn't know what plagiarism unless it's convenient to them alone. All I did was correct someone. No one knows what sampling unless you know what rapping (unless you know what it is) But long story short: I agree with this video a whole lot.
The people who have no idea what sampling is are woefully innocent and make me so frustrated sometimes, especially since I'm an aspiring music producer and my knowledge of how making ideas free to use by the people allows innovation and ingenuity.
@@phillemon7664 Especially that, that really sucks, I just wish people look up what sampling is without accusing a franchise of plagiarism and so forth, it's really frustrating, also good luck with making music!
Twitter wants to present my head to Arin Hanson for daring to disagree on Sonic Adventure 2's overall quality. I loooove the game, even after critically analysing it! I love love loooove it! And I feel no shame at all, because I shouldn't, and neither should you or anyone else! Nazi's might need some time to reflect though... Communists MAAAAAYBE should sit down for a chat with the family...?
In current year? Savor the infamy and peace, and cherish the actual fans you meet along the way. I love The Third Birthday so very much, game development wise, design wise and story wise its not that terribly written as everyones screaming. I've been diligently replaying it 7 times so far to and will carry over levels for a few more playthroughs because the difficulty gets insane. I've also replayed it enough times to tell that the Overdive Energy Chips system does not rely on luck for results and is dependent on the Red-Blue-Yellow venn diagram. To counter the only existing Overdive Energy Chip guide online.
I got kicked off Twitter for shit talking a journalist who swatted a dude (the swatting resulted in his dog being flash banged to death) the real advice is stay off of Twitter lol
I feel like alot of people don't understand the difference between objective and subjective. An opinion can't be objective because its just stating a fact. Like for example, saying that Sonic '06 is a platforming game for the ps3 and xbox360 where you control a blue hedgehog who kills robots, would be an objective standpoint. But if i were to talk about why i thought that the game sucked or didn't suck it would be subjective.
Still like Attack on Titan despite what people say about the ending. Shouldn't make me a bad person or whatever lol. This subject has honestly been a problem for me for years so it's nice to see a counter to it. Thanks 👍
I actually have a friend who claims to like Sonic 06 and it kinda baffled me for a bit, I had heard and seen so much about it, it took a long time for me to actually say "Y'know what, I should just play it myself whenever the opportunity comes, why not" Honestly, I think most of the issues on Twitter are that people need to stop and think "well, I never played it myself, so I'm not a good judge" as this PLAUGED the KH base on Twitter for MONTHS, after 3's release, so many people saying how bad the story is, how confusing it was, how "floaty" the combat is, and the funniest shit, was when asked, almost none of them had actually played the other games. Yes Twitter, welcome to Kingdom Hearts, an ongoing series with many plot threads than are a lot easier to follow if you ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAMES WITHOUT SKIPPING THE CUTSCENES. Of course the story will confuse you, you don't know who half of the cast is, or even what a Union X is because you thought the phone game was irrelevant, jokes on you, Kingdom Hearts HAS no spin-offs. Sorry, just had to vent for a minute
When I played the game after playing 1, 2, and watching others play ALL the spin offs except for the one phone game... well lets just say 18 hours doing nothing and 6 expecting the player to know everything isn't good. They didn't use those 18 to set up who the big characters were and Axel/Lea even lampshades this when he complains about not knowing who is who and how much of a headache is. They did set up the villains though... ...and give them lengthy death scenes because? In KH2 they explained who Roxas was, his part of the organization, and made it clear that him or Sora would be enough to accomplish their goals but would rather have Roxas who might cooperate with them. While Namie had little use, she still played enough of a role to fill in the blanks that the reason Sora was weak was her fault and she was fixing things. When you label something as 1, 2, and 3... Like it or not those other things are spin offs... and unfortunately when you spend 18 hours doing nothing. There is no excuse at all.
Is it possible if we could get the opposite end of the spectrum? Disliking something that is considered highly rated? Because I dislike AOT and xenoblade and I feel like I HAVE to like them or else I'll seem like an idiot
I like Skylanders **angry Spyro fans point their guns at me** My second favourite game in the series is Superchargers **angry Skylanders fans point their guns at me** smfh can't have shit in detroit
If you want a good series of reviews for Skylanders, I’d reccomend Square Eyed Jak, he’s the only reviewer I’ve seen dare to talk positively about the series in any capacity, I may not care for the games myself, but they aren’t bad games at all.
Honestly with the mess that modern Pokemon is most people have swayed there thinking on games like Yokai watch, Digimon, and other monster collection games.
If it helps Yo-Kai is dead due to Pokémon so you can enjoy it in peace knowing there is nothing worse they can do to the Yo-Kai watch series. And watch as in a few years everyone enjoys Yo-Kai Watch
@@iantaakalla8180 yeah it might just evolve into one of those hidden gems, it just sucks that 4 the best game will never get localized now but hey that's the industry...
Nah. I'm not a fan of contrarianism for the sake of contrarianism. I like what I like, and for various reasons that can be explained on a case by case basis, but not all at once. Sometimes it's a thing many consider bad for one reason or another, and that's life.
Three things spring to mind when I see this. Mother 1/Earthbound Beginnings, Sonic Adventure 2, and Juni Taisen. I like Earthbound Beginnings, and I was in for a surprise when I saw everyone else's thoughts on it. I seem to be the only person who does like it. I think it's still a unique and enjoyable JRPG, in spite of its random encounter rate. Especially when compared to other 8-bit JRPG's at the time. It's not quite as obtuse as people say it is, as long as you pay attention, talk to the NPC's and piece things together. Some of the melodies can be obscure, but overall, it's not too bad. I recommend it, even over the modded version (which accidentally threw the balance of the game out of whack and obscured previously clear puzzles). I don't know if it's because I played the game before Mother 2/Earthbound, but I genuinely enjoyed it. There's also Sonic Adventure 2, which is my favourite Sonic game. It's not quite "unpopular", but it might as well be due to things that deserve their own discussion, but anyway... Apparently I'm nostalgia blind for loving it, even though I'm well aware of its flaws. Even so, I played it recently after a 4 year break from it, and came to the same conclusion. The pros outweigh the cons, and getting every emblem felt fulfilling (except Mad Space and Death Chamber). I know the cutscenes look bad, and the characters look goofy, and the audio sync is off, but that doesn't really delete my enjoyment of it, now or back in 2002. I took those nostalgia blinders off, and ended up appreciating it even more. And lastly, Juuni Taisen. Aside from how misunderstood I think the show is, even if I was wrong and the show was a complete failure with some objective writing flaws I've overlooked, I still enjoyed the ride it took me on. It's animated beautifully, even when it switches to 3D. I would normally take issue with that very fact, but because the 3D is so well-stylised and animated properly, I didn't even care. I'm not one of those people who obsess over the zodiac, but something about fictional characters personifying the traits of each western or Chinese zodiac fascinates me. Like there are any number of ways a writer, show producer or game designer could play with that concept, and it even gave me a few ideas for a potential game. So while it's probably not high art, Juni Taisen did spark my imagination in that regard.
You Dislike A Very Popular Thing. What do??? I think that one will be more ridiculed, unlike the opposite. Makes me anxious when ppl accusing me of all kinds of stuff for disliking something they perhaps like and enjoy, especially if it's known to be extremely popular and successful (cough cough P5 cough).
Speaking as someone who has stopped using twitter: stop using twitter
amen
i stopped using twitter and my life is so much better
Speaking as someone who has never started using twitter, I agree
Just quit like 3 days ago and I already am happier lol
Speaking as someone who only used it for a day and dropped it, I concur
Twitter is good for 1 thing: making you depressed and annoyed ..
After that, you can play the game and your experience becomes better
What do? Simple, keep liking it. Goblins are going to continue being goblins, so don’t bother with them. Just keep doing you.
Time to rewatch Juni Taisen!
Like it more just to spite them.
Delving through Twitter is equivalent to traversing all 264 floors of Tartarus in a single sitting.

AKA Impossible
This really helps as someone who adores Persona 3 who frequently talks to newer Persona fans who haven't played 3 but have heard that it's an unplayable atrocity
I've not played Persona 3, but I'm in the middle of playing Persona 4 Golden. I was playing Strikers before, but took a break to finish P4G.
This is my favorite Persona so far, I like it more than P5.
I want to play Persona 3 sometime, but the issue of emulation comes up. I'd rather have official mouse and keyboard controls.
Persona 2 fans are on another level, and Persona 1 fans are literally buddhist monks
As someone who started with 3 FES, then played 4, then 5, I can recognize how much 5 spoils us with its QoL choices.
It’s far from unplayable, but trying 3 after 5 really *is* like running into a brick wall.
It just goes to show what we were conditioned to tolerate back then and what we take for granted today.
@@Deoxys_Used_Mimic Yeah I can agree. 3 is a good game but it's gameplay is frustrating at times. I don't blame people for getting frustrated with it even though I like it.
like half the comments (that weren't asking for a switch/PC port of p5r) on ATLUS' march 5th tweet were "don't care, persona 3 sucks"
The problem that often happens when talking about liking a thing that's unpopular is this sort of knee jerk instinct to get really defensive about it. Like you take the general consensus of people shitting on the thing as kind of a personal slight and thus you get into that aggressive fight or flight mode where you start calling everyone who has the opposite opinion a tryhard or something.
I'm very guilty of doing this.
This is often the real problem with liking unpopular things. Don't get defensive about your likes, don't go around giving it any objective stances of quality or say things like "this is the game of the year". Just like it, and tell anyone who doesn't like it that that's fine.
Honestly I think the problem is failing to separate objectivity from opinion. Something such as a game can be objectively bad, but simply put there is literally nothing stopping you from loving a bad game. The fact we conflate opinion with a value statement of a game is why we have so many problems.
Fither mentioned it in the video but for example I absolutely love Sonic 06, I will defend many aspects of it and say that it is not as terrible as people say (it still is bad though) but despite my love for it I will still say it is a bad game. Separating your opinions and actual objective criticisms.
Yeah I have that similar problem
Same. I love the Yo-Kai Watch series, and I get very annoyed if someone calls it a Pokemon clone. I get where they are coming from, it being a monster collector game and all, but Yo-Kai Watch is so fundamentally different from Pokemon, that I feel that people are so quick to dismiss something they haven’t probably experienced.

It’s from this 4chan post by an autistic guy who said that Persona 5 helped with his autism.
When I like something that the internet hates. I tend to gaslight myself into thinking I hate it too. In fear of being viewed as someone with bad taste.
Let's be honest: Most of this BS comes from Twitter. I stopped using Twitter since November of 2020 and I feel so much better. Even though there are great people on Twitter and I talked to a ton of great people on there, they are being buried under the constant negativity. Not only that, I heard from someone that still uses Twitter that Twitter has been falsely suspending accounts that pretty much did nothing wrong. So let me get this right: Doing shit that is against the Terms of Service like harassment won't get you suspended for the most part, but people that did nothing wrong get fucked over? Yeah, fuck that social media platform.
Twitter is the UA-cam comment section as it’s own website. Not everyone there is awful, but at least on Reddit, the hive mind mentality is baked into the site with the inclusion of communities, Twitter is a hive mind because most people on it are morons. You have nothing to gain by being on it, and everything to lose
yeah, i stopped using twitter around the same time. Dont know if you knew him, you probably did, his name was Roy. He made a name for himself among the community for being that ultimate Rise simp on twitter. If you didnt well, tldr he dedicated his account to basically simp for Rise, he never bothered anyone, he never attacked anyone, but of course because its twitter, a bunch of assholes started making fun of him for it and he just wasnt the same anymore ever since. After that, some cancel culture prick dug up some stupid comment he made a while back, blew it out of proportion and well he got harrassed. Mah boy Roy (i believe he's now called Rimi on twitter) got fucked by that wave of negative asshats.
Never used Twitter in all honesty. Part of me kinda wants to make a troll account their to purposefully piss off people just to see how bad the Twitter shitstorm can really be.
@@hylianfelldragon1308 Okay, that actually sounds kinda interesting (I don't like Twitter negativity but I would want to see how far 1 comment would go).
What's Twitter?
honestly this vid helps a lot. Ive gone through a lot of self-doubt and anxiety throughout a good chunk of the lockdown because of how the perception of persona and its community has changed for the worst. I love persona and smt, i loved to interact with the community, share memes, share my passion, maybe even some shitposting and simping but when the whole "hahaha persona fans pedos hahaha" thing blew out of proportion to the point people were unironically believing it, it started to take a toll on me. At that point, i felt like i couldnt even mention that i liked persona without being labeled a pedo so without noticing, i wanted to stop liking these games because of it. Every now and then, when anxiety wants to come back to me or i just feel down i go back to your "why i stopped using twitter" video. I think ive watched it like 5 or 6 times by now and thanks to it, i stopped using twitter. Ive been overall just better with myself, anxiety doesnt kick in and ive just been happier. Ive been enjoying the hell out of persona 5 strikers and i think i might be ready to go back to p5r and finish it
yo i know this comment is 2 months old now but like ive felt exactly the same way as you and i started to become really insecure about liking persona because of how much more negative the perception of its community has gotten and the "funny haha pedo jokes". as someone who likes persona a little bit more than smt not because i think its better, but because the more down to earth setting and slice of life stuff really resonated with me i kinda beat myself up about liking it so much for a while and felt really bad for resonating with those games as much as i did. i know how stupid that mindset was and i think i'm breaking out of it, but i felt that way for a pretty long time because of how much i genuinely loved those games. idk i just saw this comment and felt like you went through the same thing i was feeling so i just wanted to reply and i hope you continue to enjoy the things you like and not let others ruin something special to you, weather it be persona, smt, or anything else.
@@wombocorp yeah i went through the same thing but i dont think its a stupid mindset at all. Most of us, if not everyone, either directly or indirectly seek some sort of public or social approval on the things we do or like. You can say "ugh i dont give a shit about what others say" and pretend youre above it all you want but it will eventually get to you and i believe its what probably has happened to a lot of people. If you like something that is surrounded by nothing but negativity and bad perceptions, of course its gonna eventually take a toll on you. As dramatic as all this may sound, it is true. Now, not only do i barely interact with western persona communities but i kinda feel like just liking these games makes me a target online which is why i dont necessarily hide it but it isnt something im gonna be telling to anyone. I honestly blame the covid pandemic on this because i remember that back in 2017 the persona/smt community wasnt like this
The thing that always pisses me off about the entire concept of shitting on other peoples interests is there's always this weird psychoanalyzing aspect to it, it's like "You like a thing, that I don't? must be derived from some kind of personal failing that i have now attributed to you"
it's the hot new internet-argument go-to, "projecting" it's usually called
Sometimes it's hard to talk about something you like when alotta people don't like or care about it. But it's always fun to talk about unpopular things.
One of my favourite anime of 2017 was Juni Taisen, and I don't know if it's for qualities that are overlooked, self-inserted, or surface-level. But yeah, I think it's safe to say it got dunked on pretty hard wherever I look, and it still hasn't affected my overall enjoyment of it.
First step get off of Twitter
This was a very good video on a topic that frustrates me. When it comes to unpopular things I hate when something previously perceived as amazing is suddenly "not good" anymore because a couple of people on the internet said so. When someone decides to trash something that was popular a lot of the time I see people who haven't played it agree because they automatically assume it's bad from what little they see of it and I also see people who did like it say they don't because they don't want to be ridiculed. It really sucks that some people have to convince themselves the thing they loved is no longer good anymore because it's no longer the popular opinion to like it. Sorry if this rant was too long but I really hate seeing how disgusting people are to people who don't follow the norm, it reminds me that a lot of us haven't grown up and still act like we're in cliques or something.
It's sad but it really feels like a lot of people are frankly just sheep. People kind of just follow along or don't form their own opinions on it. I feel like most people dare looking for a community to share in more than just having a good show.
@@laststep56 Yes, it sadly feels like people are less concerned with sharing something they love no matter how popular or unpopular it is and more concerned with hating on something that's popular to hate on without experiencing said hated thing.
@@ChromaBlade Idk if I would say you need to experience everything before you can critique it or even dislike it, but the idea of others not being allowed to like it is the problem. I think people tend to sheep both ways really, I just want people to understand where it is useful to be analytical and objective and where that ends and you end up in an subjective environment.
@@laststep56 It's called groupthink and a lot of people are guilty of it, people form themselves into codependent crowds and can't form nuanced opinions like "this small thing might make me uncomfortable for a little bit which sucks but the narrative structure and characters are pretty good!"

It because there are a lot of people who get pretentious about liking an unpopular game, I've seen people try to pull a "You just didn't get it/play it" when I literally finished the game 5 seconds ago and explained in detail my issues with it
As long as they're not trying to convince everyone else that it's a masterpiece they don't understand, without addressing the critiques surrounding it. Or judging it for features that aren't present in the actual game. But when it comes to people who just like the game and don't feel the need to justify it every time, sure. I like plenty of unpopular or negatively-received games like Nights: Journey of Dreams, Earthbound Beginnings, Sonic & The Black Knight and even MGS4 and Twin Snakes.
@@md-fi7zt The way fans of 2 dismiss every other Persona game, including the first, as inferior has made me dislike them. I agree that P2 is massively underrated, and I even agree its story is better told than the Modern Persona games, but heaven forbid you to say anything nice about the narrative or the characters in Modern Persona games because they'll claim you only like them because of waifu dating or because you like anime. Bonus points if they only talk about Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment doesn't come up once.

This topic kinda relates to how I want to eventually play Spirit Tracks despite hearing nothing but horrible things about it, because if being on the internet has taught me anything it’s that people’s genuine issues with a game can get overblown once they reach the public opinion
Spirit Tracks is genuinely one of my favorite Zelda games ever, people are just mad cause trains.
Its gameplay is good its just the ai that gets people mad cough MARIN KARIN but you can always fix that by emulating it, and modding it with controllable party members
Excuse me? I love Spirit Tracks!
It was my first Zelda and I loved it
Spirit tracks was surprisingly charming. I really enjoyed it, much more than phantom hourglass which I couldnt get through the beginning of.
The thing I realized is that normal people don't talk in tweets. The number of timrs I've wanted to maybe have a discussion, I usually just stop myself. People on the internet aren't looking for actual discussion, they just want their opinions to be validated.
Whenever I say I like Sonic the Hedgehog or Brand New Animal, it usually awakens someones "Argue function". I've grown used to it by now.
I mean let's be honest Twitter is a cesspool of unhappy people trying to bring others down to their level
To sum up the video: Twitter sucks and you’re allowed to like anything that you like.
While I do value disccusions about the quality of different types of media, the truth is that 90% of the time these type of discussion are worthless, since most people dont really want a discussion, they just want their views to be validated.

Would be suprising to me because in my experience, the places I were in (Twitter, Discord) were full of Xenoblade 2 elitism, to the point when I felt genuinely uneasy mentioning the first game (the reason I was in the Xenoblade community in the first place) because I knew I would only bring a toxic mob onto myself.

As a FF XIII and XII fan, yeah, i get this. I just like how they play and i really like the characters and stuff. I think theyre fun. Thats all really, dont need a whole essay saying why i like things like people on twitter expect, i just like it.
What annoys me about the XIII haters is that they'll keep saying you can auto battle through the whole game and when pressed it's revealed that they either haven't played it, or that they got to the Asterprotoflorian or Odin, got their asses kicked and then started bashing it despite the fact that them losing pretty much proves that auto battle is not the idiot proof win button they claim it to be.
@@GodOfOrphans I just don’t like it because of the characters and linearity. The combat system is one of the aspects I actually enjoyed. Still not a terrible game, just kind of a let down. If peeps liked it why take away their fun? On the flip side, I love FF12. I legit thought that game was amazing, but I’ve never met anyone who has played it.
@@SaberRexZealot Well I played a little bit of 12 and really like what I've played so far, only reason I haven't really gotten into it is due to gamer backlog, but I plan to 100% it eventually and I main Gabranth in Dissidia, at the very least you've officially met someone who's played it now ;). Back on 13 I can definitely see lots of good reasons to dislike it, the characters are hit or miss and the story is extremely reliant on it's characters since the linearity hurts the worldbuilding, which is a real shame because what's there is good it's just shunted off to the datalog with minimal ways to really interact with the game world to make it feel alive and not just like a roller coaster with a plot. The characters can make up for that but only if they happen to be a hit which for a lot of people they weren't and even I can't deny a lot of wasted potential despite them being a hit with me. I just wish the good constructive critiques of 13 which do exist weren't buried under piles and piles of regurgitated game plays itself memes and demonstrably false auto battle being idiot proof nonsense.
My dude!
Yukari was an excellent choice for the thumbnail, she's the quintessential "I am very passionate about something that is very strange" character
Being an absolutely massive Sonic fan, I get some of favorite games shat on a lot, so this really helps me deal with that kind of thing.
Dude, I'm right there with you. I genuinely believe that, when looking at it under a critical lense and weighing the pros and cons, Sonic Adventure 2 is still an objectively good game. I don't need Arin Hanson, Somecallmejohnny or ProJared's validation or anyone else's. I played it again after many years, came to that conclusion, and loved it, and that's all that mattered. If we get a Sonic Adventure 3, and/or Fang The Sniper is a playable villain, I'll be content.
Kinda late to the party but yeah I can very much relate. This series's been with me for as long as I can remember and I love it a lot, seeing so many debates about what is and isn't a good game is just extremely tiring

It would be nice if Twitter was just taken down, or at the very least heavily altered from it's current form.

Twitter is an ulcer on the stomach lining of humanity and Jack Dorsey actively makes it even worse.
i can 100% confirm that second hand hate is a plague because i swear i enjoyed both Rick Astley's never gonna give you up and Bleach as a child then disliked them for multiple years because funny people on the internet said its bad and then realized that i always liked the song a few years later and recently re watched bleach and genuinely enjoyed it even more than my younger self did.
The thing that can suck sometimes is that sure, you don't have to explain why you like this thing; but if the general consensus is that the thing you like is bad, it can feel isolating. Sometimes you just wanna talk about the good in something, especially when that thing used to be tlaked about in high regards. I have heard so much bitching in recent years in the KH fandom about how basiclaly every game that Osaka Team made is just terrible. I'm so fucking tired of it dude. I remember when people actually used to like Birth By Sleep. It's by no meand a perfect game, but it was enjoyable. I just wish it wasn't as hard nowadays to find people who wanna talk about the good in media.
Considering recent events, this is perfect when it comes to Xenoblade 2.
THANK YOU!!!
As someone whose favourite game is Xenoblade 1, I didn't hate Xenoblade 2. I was just disappointed with it, and all the flaws that weren't present in the first. Still, I didn't judge it based on its artstyle change, and I wanted to play it for myself before making any assumptions, and I'm glad I did. I saw a lot of genuinely good ideas that could be fleshed out and expanded upon, and sure enough, I got that with Torna: The Golden Country.
Smash Fans?
I thought a lot of people loved that game
@@landondotson5469 Yeah but there are quite a few detractors as well. Sometimes it's understandable like it's slow pacing at the beginning, tutorials being useless and some general iffy mechanics.
Other times it's for stupid shit like 'large anime titties so game bad'.
normally i would agree with everything you said, but i want to talk specially about "you don't have to care about what other people say", because in most cases i don't really care about other peoples opinions (specially if it's on twitter) but then you have those things you like that won't continue because of bad sells or bad critics, that's when i start to care
anyways i really liked this video

One girl got like bombarded and spam harassed because she liked the persona 5 cast, again people, DELETE TWITTER. BECOME HAPPY.
Persona 5 is weird online. Either people absolutely love it or absolutely despise it
Persona 3 (post Persona 5)
Persona 5 (post Joker in Smash)
On a similar subject: the dancing games (especially 3)
Most of the 3D Sonic games (my favorite being Generations)
FUCKING POKEMON (especially post gen 8)
These are a few of my favorite games/franchises and thus I am no stranger to liking an unpopular thing. Thanks for the advice and also, fuck Twitter.
dacning games, 3 and 5, are just bashed for the shitty practices. Also, can't really defend gen 8, it truly is the worst
I love 3D Sonic more than 2D Sonic, so I feel you there. Sonic Adventure 2 is a game I genuinely think is objectively good, when weighing the pros and cons.
I love sonic if only because of SnapCube
It goes both ways. There are some groups of people who will mercilessly pile on you for expressing a negative opinion about a popular thing, and only want mindless gushing devoid of any critical thought. There are so many types of people on the internet, particularly social media, that you can get a negative reaction about anything you say. Someone can always find a way to bitch.
I honestly think that humans aren't really meant to interact with so many people at once, because it all just becomes this overwhelming blurr of noise and opinions. And people just turn off their empathy a lot of the time online, forgetting that there are other human beings with feelings just because their animal brains can't comprehend not seeing facial expressions. It really is healthier to just avoid social media and stick to a smaller group of people.
I just like what I like and don't give a shit what others think about my opinions. If people get annoyed at that, good their suffering feeds me.
If I want to debate on objective quality they'll have to deal with me wanting to define everything and most people back off at that point.
Me too.
Welp ended up here randomly after searching something, but these are some nice words of wisdom! I am cursed to just naturally enjoy things people hate, and hate with a wild passion, and sometimes it gets me hella down BC legit am usually getting verbally criticized for liking shit, usually characters. Kinda weird that people base your worth as a person on characters you like? But they prob do it with anything they can put you down for. I like your closing statement, BC even when you know it's true, it's nice to hear someone else say it so it's easier to remind yourself.
A few examples I have are these:
Brave because I love the struggles between mother and daughter. Frozen 1 and 2 because of the earnest writing and strong development for Elsa. Kingdom Hearts 3 because I really like the story and characters (except for Kairi). I honestly didn't care much for the original Soul Eater, but I really loved Soul Eater NOT! with having the main cast feel like true friends and being a nice journey for it despite the chill tones.
One thing I've noticed that people tend to blow flaws out of proportion, to the point that when I play something that has those flaws, said flaws aren't nearly as bad as I was lead to believe.
People just need to realize that enjoyment is not the same thing as quality. People can like bad things and vice versa. Just dont act like it's not what it is. Theres a difference between saying "it's the best" and "it's my favorite" same thing with "it's the worst" and "I didnt like it"
This is important as some of my favorite games... have huge issues.
I can't deny it at all.
If I choose to ignore those flaws I'm only hurting what I love.
This. This! THIS!
As someone who adores Persona 5 and has Royal as his favorite game of all time, this video really spoke to me. Before I played Royal, the negativity around Persona 5 was at an all time high. Made me really question if I like the game myself. I honestly felt like it was wrong for me to even enjoy Persona 5 when so many people on Twitter seems to hate it and even sometimes outside of Twitter. It's so bad that now if I ever recommend Persona 5 to someone I'm just expecting them to hate it... I then played Royal when it came out though and remembered why I love the game so much. I was having so much fun re-experiencing a story and characters which I genuinely loved and the new 3rd Semester was the cherry on top! It was then on when I started to become more assertive in my opinions and stopped focusing on what other people think. Those people who shove their favorites down others throats and get on your ass for liking a certain game are the scum of the earth fr.
The internet has also made me hate the word "Objective" or "Objectivity". It just sounds so pretentious every time it's used, like "This is FACTUAL bad, now hate it too!". It's even worse when people don't even use the word right. Art is a very subjective medium. There is a level of objectivity to it and you can sure view it under that lens, but ultimately what determines if you like something will come down to preference, which is subjective. I see people saying things like "This is objectively the best cast in the series" and then see someone saying otherwise. That objective claim has now turned subjective, it's even worse with Persona since this series has given us a diverse cast of characters built with many of their own charms. Like, P4's and P5's character developments - aside from their introduction arcs - occur in the SLs/Confidants while P3's character development occur mainly in the story; that's objective, however that doesn't automatically mean everyone is going to like the P3 cast over P4's and P5's. It's a matter of preference, plain and simple. It's as though people believe coating their subjectivity under the veil of objectivity will strengthen their opinions and make them more valid/true when it just makes them look like annoying pricks when analyzed. Once objectivity enters a subjective matter, that discussion normally loses all nuance for these reasons.
Just let others enjoy things. You can disagree, that's fine, but not everyone is going to think the same as you. It's good to have debates, but keep it healthy. In my opinion, the most important thing that matters is having someone understand your view. Convincing them is just headache, lol.
And so ends my rant.
I think Royal is twice a better game than the original 5, i really have some problems with it
@@knightspartan7201 Royal for sure fixes a number of issues in the original Persona 5. Unless you're really picky on difficulty, it's the definitive version.
Persona 5 is by no means a perfect game but it's a game that I've personally had the most fun with in not only the series but all of gaming. Royal only reinforces my love for it too, especially by giving one of my favorite stories ever in the 3rd Semester.
Words that also annoy me that get used a lot is overrated and underrated.
As a Sonic Fan, trust me, its better sometimes to not talk about that, and i just hate how the media has come to this point when Sonic does ANYTHING and it has to be bad,
TFW you are a futanari fan in an uncultured world
Same
As someone who has Sonic 06 as a major guilty pleasure and who loves Code Vein to death despite a lot of people either not caring for it or just disliking it (IBlameIGNPartially) this is something I have to deal with a lot and I’m glad someone’s talking about it. Also even narrowing it down to just characters in the story, I love Yuzu in Devil Survivor but basically everyone hates her so even there it’s just kind of a ‘like what you like’ situation
Reddit>Twitter
Reddit is built to allow communities to crystalize around themselves. Twitter is built to yell at others for having different opinions.
Yeah, check out r/okbuddypersona the community there is great and the memes are funny
Definitely recommend Reddit over twitter. Less stupid questions to cross your eyes.
Many reddit communities are hivemind hugboxes where you are downvoted to hell for saying something who does not fit the consensus.
Sure, still far better than twitter, almost anything is superior to twitter.
Both are shit
I hate reddit, but at the same time without it i would never knew how to pass through some game Bosses, and emulate some games lol
While twitter, everything that i had there was bad
Basically, avoid other MegaTen fans of any sort.
Megaten comunity in nutshell:
Persona: P2 and P1 elitists, people who only watched P5 in UA-cam and say that they are the biggest fan of the franchise and portbegg, Meme makers who laugh of the same joke since the game's launch and just normal fans
Shin Megami Tensei: They are way more chill and Okay to talk about the Shin Megami Tensei games, but if you disagree with their opinion
Either they will debate like normal people or will they want to execute you in a public square, especially if you like modern persona so basically
Normal fans and Elitists
Jack Bros. : Average Game of culture enjoyer
@@onewingedren2228 SMT fans also tend to make the same jokes as well (one more god rejected, hehe Nocturne hard, Walter using Agi on Minotaur, play a real SMT game, etc.) although tbf every fandom has jokes that get used over and over again.
The second point is one I use all the time when talking about my favorite Pokemon, Klefki. My personal enjoyment of it is what got me into competitive play since I used it on a competitive team, shiny hunting as I hunted for a shiny one, and the deeper lore and reasons behind why some Pokemon are the way they are. Without Klefki I wouldn't be as big of a Pokemon fan as I am.
Klefki, the dragon slayer, the jingle jangle boi
Now I'm wondering what to do if I like something obscure.
If you mean Touhou, Twitter ruined it for me
I wasn't referring to Touhou- that series isn't obscure at this point. I mean look at all the fanart and those fan albums. Chances are if you've been on the internet, you've encountered Touhou one way or another.
At the time I was thinking of the VN The House in Fata Morgana, which is definately more on the obscure side.
I'm just looking for other Trauma Center fans
I know exactly 2 other Stella glow fans, and I don't even know them I just saw a comment on UA-cam once.
Being a hitman reborn fan is like bleach but you just swap people not liking it with haven't watched it because of the first 20 episodes or what's that.
Man, I still remember Reborn, a shame the anime didn´t adapted the last few arcs from the manga.
@@That_One_Guy-. Yeah the last 2 arcs are really good
I'm planning to watch that soon and tbh it already seems like it's massively underrated.
In all fairness there are things that genuinelly deserve the hate.
I love the Sword Art Online games no matter what anyone says about them.
Great games I loved the shit out if them and got hyper fixated on every one of them when the alicizaton one was released.
@@kimishou I actually bought the Digital Deluxe edition and didn't realize that it comes with a copy of Re: Hollow Fragment.
I was pleasantly surprised.
I mean, the games are good.
The anime, not that much. But I'm not a "bully SAO fans" guy, just think it was a disappointment and waste of potential. GGO Alternative was kinda fun, actually.
That moment when I Genshin Impact literally just makes me uncomfortable because NOW everyone seems to like it meanwhile when I played it off launch all I ever heard was people mouth breathing and fucking screaming about breath of the wild whenever I mentioned it
If you like an unpopular manga or especially light novel, get ready to be disappointed by the fact it will likely never receive a complete translation, I got into the Boogiepop light novels as the new anime was coming out expecting the series to receive a good surge in popularity and receive more translations as a result, only for the anime to be bad and for people to forget about it before it even finishes airing
Edit. This video isn't really about what I thought it was gonna be about but I needed to talk about this, therapists are too expensive
Seven Seas better not be using the crappy 2019 anime as an excuse not to bring us the rest of the light novels, because I want more story beyond At Dawn and King of Distortion. As far as we're concerned, the Towa Organization is still at large.
@@NintendanGX there is a fan translation for book 7 Peperment Wizard in the works but god knows if we'll ever get to read the rest in English
Hits hard as a Digimon fan, especially when most conversations about it drag into being compared to Pokemon.
I just like the fact that the Devil Survivor artist worked on a Digimon game.
always wanted to get into digimon, i never saw how it was a "ripoff" of pokemon, they seemed way different enough to me, i enjoy a lot of the designs
I also agree with you on your point about people on Twitter looking for things to grandstand over, instead of being inspired by them. Its like you really have to walk over eggshells and be a squeaky clean slate for the first 30 years of your life in order to be a well respected famous role model.
Whatever happened to the Babe Ruths and Michael Jordans of society?
In you want to have an actual discussion about something you like, do it with people that you trust to actually listen to you. They don't have to like it. They don't even have to agree with your points. But make sure the other person/ people will at least hear you out.
The internet is generally not the place to do that, outside of friend groups or specific forums/ chats. Group mentality is a powerful force, and majority is all the stronger in a sea of everyone talking at once.
We want more P5s dommie mommie vids!
When you said DMC 2, I was like..... you know what, I actually like it a lot and I kind of grew up with it and have some very dear memories. I agree with pretty much everything you said. The most important thing is for us to avoid attacking or shaming people for what they like in general, even if we think it is bull. Also just walking away when someone just tries to persuade you that what you like is bad, is the best thing to do.
My entire mindset and interests are completely esoteric, so this title alone feels like a personal attack lol xD
Moral of the story: Twitter FUCKING sucks!
I feel bad because I'm totally that guy. I take the subjective value of things and tell my friends the problems of those things. My stupid autismo brain doesn't realize how cruddy that is in the moment, but I just want a good logical explanation of people's opinions but that's sort of a stupid thing to expect out of people.
You say it's very hard to convince someone that something they like is bad and vice versa. Well I hated Sonic 06, saw a video essay on it, liked it, saw another one, hated it, then saw another one and liked it again. None of my opinions are set in stone, even the ones like murder is bad.
I haven't ever been dogged on for liking something that's considered bad. But now and again I feel like I'm wrong for liking that thing. Of course I'm not, it's just my perspective at the end of the day. Glad to know I'm not alone in a lot of stuff you mentioned here. Nice video!
I had a group of friends on Xbox that attacked me anytime anything even close to anime was mentioned I would be called a weeb I could be talking about freaking Final fantasy or zelda and that was considered weeb shit
I always brush those types of people aside if they can't accept me liking those things. It's not killing them, so they don't need to get on your case about it
It’s real tough being a genuine enjoyer of black rock shooter and blood c these days. Don’t know how people feel about elfen lied though.
As someone who's a fan of RWBY I can HIGHLY relate.
Hey fither you seem really happy in these kinds of videos. I enjoy hearing you give your opinion. Keep it up man
Konjiki no Gash Bell/Zatch Bell is a series I wanna see coming back in the limelight again.
Yes. I completely agree.
I got this a lot back in the day for liking the musou genre. You just learn to deal with it.
Whats musou?
@@zero123alpha6 Stuff like Dynasty, Samurai and Hyrule Warriors along with things like Sengoku Basara and Fate Extella.
@@axsprime ah, what's your favorite part of it?
@@zero123alpha6 The games aren't really as deep as other action games (outside of Basara which is done by Capcom so it has a lot of DMC inspiration in it) but you can just turn your brain off and go to town on 1000 bad guys.

I enjoyed The Last of Us 2... I’ll admit some characters were dumb and some plot stuff was a bit underdeveloped, but I liked the gameplay, I loved the music, and even when a stupid scene occurred, I could just laugh at it and be like “haha thats funny moving on”
That's a fine way of enjoying The Last of Us 2 and know what good on you.
My video game hot take is that I actually enjoyed Life is Strange. It might be considered terrible and Tumblr af but I played it during a emotional time in my life and while I'm MORE than aware of it's short comings it's still one of my favorite games of all time.
That's a pretty good mindset I think last of us 2 was absolutely horrible. ruins a last of us IP completely and Has places stain a naughty dog that they will never get off for a very long time.
But the fact that you Have a meh good enjoyment towards it. Plus not trying to push it above anything else.
Even though I disagree with you. I see no reason why even have an argument. It would be like a battleship going out of its way to go after driftwood.

Talking about 13 Sentinels is like talking about a ghost, people don't even know what I'm talking about
Me and the other 4 Azure Striker Gunvolt fans.
This is our safe spot
I knew i would find this.
I feel this as a Persona 1 fan who has it as their fav persona game, I agree that most who hate it have not even played it
Thats how I feel about liking Part 6 of Jojo
Bro same. As well as Part 1
Part 6 is actually my favorite part. I'm a sucker for emotional conclusions.
Part 6 is pretty good! In fact every single part is good
Part 6 it's my second favorite, and with time I saw that many people started to like her and probably more will come with the anime(except people who will get pissed off with the ending)
Honestly I prefer to leave things as they are. I've always liked unpopular things more, not because I'm an elitist but because they have a different vibe, it feels more mythical, there's a stronger sense of community and it's usually cool stuff.
Personally, I don't like to talk to anyone about what I like because I have a very intimate relationship with the entertainment I consume, it's definitely fun to have a good talk with someone but when I explain why I like it, it's like I stopped feeling it inside of my, as if I let it go something. Worse if when talking about that, I let the other person know that a certain anime or video game exists.
Another reason is that the vast majority want their franchise to receive more recognition, but at the same time when it becomes more popular it brings some problems. When something becomes popular, people don't hate it just for that, they start to get sick about seeing it all the time and being a larger community means that there are more chances of meeting problematic people, people who have no real passion and give it a bad image to the community and therefore to the franchise.
I already had bad experiences with Persona and Danganronpa, the games were relatively unknown when I discovered them, there weren't many people talking about it and you could still see a dedicated comunity, when the games began to be more recognized things changed, it no longer felt special, the fandom It was filling up with more disastrous people and in a whole they ruined the experience to the point that I no longer wanted to see anything from Danganronpa and Persona, currently I can't see anything from those franchises because I'm sick of it, I don't like them anymore, it's sad that they ruin you something you used to love.
Because these experiences I am terrified of some franchise getting a little more attention even if it's for good, like with Yakuza and the baka mitai.
Basically I fear the degeneration of a fanbase / Hobby at the point I prefer liking something in silence, otherwise it ruins enjoyment and vision,
I stop enjoying something at the same level or totally when becomes popular because:
1-I like to belong to a community / Lodge with unknown knowledge by most people.
2-Talking repeatedly about something you like becomes tiring, you start to see errors that you had previously ignored, you can even start to see it as faulty.
3-You lose passion, you no longer see anyone with true passion or not at the same level, it is difficult to find it.
4- The mysticism, mystery, the unknown, intrigue and magic are lost.
These are also reasons to avoid liking popular things.
Listening this while playing Devil Survivor 2.
One of my favorite characters from the sao series is Premiere and well she was a main character for a game like 4 years ago it was a good game and she had better character development then most of the anime cast and well she is well underated to me. Most people who played the sao games knows her and well like her but its well still small compared to the rest of the sao community who only seen the anime or played one game which was fatal bullet that sold more then hers which I don't mind. But my god in the gacha game community is so annoying cause they rather see the girl antogonist be naked or another Asune which she already is close to 100 units Premiere only had 4 and hasn't had one in 2 years. It makes me mad that people want something horny and booba over a good character and I had some people try to help her get some attention from a game character contest which she was in and well they attacked one of my friends cause they just wanted Asuna in a school girl outfit or Yuuki over a character that hasn't had any attention for 2 years. Its just sad that one of there games may shut down and she never got to be current meta. She is like the Ayane of Persona 4 and has a low chance of getting a new unit cause rather milk the anime then be original and bring back old characters with updated designs....
(Oof I typed so much)
Twitter is the worse place to do that stuff, I don't use Twitter, unless I look for art and funny shit, which I'd rare to find funny shit.
I had to tell someone that a series I am into say that this series doesn't plagiarize its music, (but I didn't tell, it was more of a show with evidence) and a person legitimately retweeted and said because of men can plagiarize and all I did was ignore it cause I knew it was gonna be a nonstop, it was legitimately the dumbest reason a person said a reasoning.
And it was K-pop stans and doesn't know what plagiarism unless it's convenient to them alone. All I did was correct someone.
No one knows what sampling unless you know what rapping (unless you know what it is)
But long story short: I agree with this video a whole lot.
The people who have no idea what sampling is are woefully innocent and make me so frustrated sometimes, especially since I'm an aspiring music producer and my knowledge of how making ideas free to use by the people allows innovation and ingenuity.
@@phillemon7664

Twitter wants to present my head to Arin Hanson for daring to disagree on Sonic Adventure 2's overall quality. I loooove the game, even after critically analysing it! I love love loooove it! And I feel no shame at all, because I shouldn't, and neither should you or anyone else!

I love The Third Birthday so very much, game development wise, design wise and story wise its not that terribly written as everyones screaming. I've been diligently replaying it 7 times so far to and will carry over levels for a few more playthroughs because the difficulty gets insane.
I've also replayed it enough times to tell that the Overdive Energy Chips system does not rely on luck for results and is dependent on the Red-Blue-Yellow venn diagram. To counter the only existing Overdive Energy Chip guide online.
I got kicked off Twitter for shit talking a journalist who swatted a dude (the swatting resulted in his dog being flash banged to death) the real advice is stay off of Twitter lol
I feel like alot of people don't understand the difference between objective and subjective. An opinion can't be objective because its just stating a fact.
Like for example, saying that Sonic '06 is a platforming game for the ps3 and xbox360 where you control a blue hedgehog who kills robots, would be an objective standpoint. But if i were to talk about why i thought that the game sucked or didn't suck it would be subjective.
Still like Attack on Titan despite what people say about the ending. Shouldn't make me a bad person or whatever lol.
This subject has honestly been a problem for me for years so it's nice to see a counter to it. Thanks 👍
I actually have a friend who claims to like Sonic 06 and it kinda baffled me for a bit, I had heard and seen so much about it, it took a long time for me to actually say "Y'know what, I should just play it myself whenever the opportunity comes, why not"
Honestly, I think most of the issues on Twitter are that people need to stop and think "well, I never played it myself, so I'm not a good judge" as this PLAUGED the KH base on Twitter for MONTHS, after 3's release, so many people saying how bad the story is, how confusing it was, how "floaty" the combat is, and the funniest shit, was when asked, almost none of them had actually played the other games. Yes Twitter, welcome to Kingdom Hearts, an ongoing series with many plot threads than are a lot easier to follow if you ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAMES WITHOUT SKIPPING THE CUTSCENES. Of course the story will confuse you, you don't know who half of the cast is, or even what a Union X is because you thought the phone game was irrelevant, jokes on you, Kingdom Hearts HAS no spin-offs.
Sorry, just had to vent for a minute
When I played the game after playing 1, 2, and watching others play ALL the spin offs except for the one phone game... well lets just say 18 hours doing nothing and 6 expecting the player to know everything isn't good.
They didn't use those 18 to set up who the big characters were and Axel/Lea even lampshades this when he complains about not knowing who is who and how much of a headache is. They did set up the villains though...
...and give them lengthy death scenes because?
In KH2 they explained who Roxas was, his part of the organization, and made it clear that him or Sora would be enough to accomplish their goals but would rather have Roxas who might cooperate with them. While Namie had little use, she still played enough of a role to fill in the blanks that the reason Sora was weak was her fault and she was fixing things.
When you label something as 1, 2, and 3...
Like it or not those other things are spin offs... and unfortunately when you spend 18 hours doing nothing.
There is no excuse at all.
Truer words have never been more well spoken, Bald-detchi.

Nah. I'm not a fan of contrarianism for the sake of contrarianism. I like what I like, and for various reasons that can be explained on a case by case basis, but not all at once. Sometimes it's a thing many consider bad for one reason or another, and that's life.

Twitter gives me anger issues and depression
Three things spring to mind when I see this. Mother 1/Earthbound Beginnings, Sonic Adventure 2, and Juni Taisen.
I like Earthbound Beginnings, and I was in for a surprise when I saw everyone else's thoughts on it. I seem to be the only person who does like it. I think it's still a unique and enjoyable JRPG, in spite of its random encounter rate. Especially when compared to other 8-bit JRPG's at the time. It's not quite as obtuse as people say it is, as long as you pay attention, talk to the NPC's and piece things together. Some of the melodies can be obscure, but overall, it's not too bad. I recommend it, even over the modded version (which accidentally threw the balance of the game out of whack and obscured previously clear puzzles). I don't know if it's because I played the game before Mother 2/Earthbound, but I genuinely enjoyed it.
There's also Sonic Adventure 2, which is my favourite Sonic game. It's not quite "unpopular", but it might as well be due to things that deserve their own discussion, but anyway... Apparently I'm nostalgia blind for loving it, even though I'm well aware of its flaws. Even so, I played it recently after a 4 year break from it, and came to the same conclusion. The pros outweigh the cons, and getting every emblem felt fulfilling (except Mad Space and Death Chamber). I know the cutscenes look bad, and the characters look goofy, and the audio sync is off, but that doesn't really delete my enjoyment of it, now or back in 2002. I took those nostalgia blinders off, and ended up appreciating it even more.
And lastly, Juuni Taisen. Aside from how misunderstood I think the show is, even if I was wrong and the show was a complete failure with some objective writing flaws I've overlooked, I still enjoyed the ride it took me on. It's animated beautifully, even when it switches to 3D. I would normally take issue with that very fact, but because the 3D is so well-stylised and animated properly, I didn't even care. I'm not one of those people who obsess over the zodiac, but something about fictional characters personifying the traits of each western or Chinese zodiac fascinates me. Like there are any number of ways a writer, show producer or game designer could play with that concept, and it even gave me a few ideas for a potential game. So while it's probably not high art, Juni Taisen did spark my imagination in that regard.
Ratatouille for PS2 is the best game ever. I seem to be the only one who thinks this way. 🤔
You Dislike A Very Popular Thing. What do???
I think that one will be more ridiculed, unlike the opposite. Makes me anxious when ppl accusing me of all kinds of stuff for disliking something they perhaps like and enjoy, especially if it's known to be extremely popular and successful (cough cough P5 cough).
RWBY is my thing that everyone hates, I binged it after maining ruby in Bbtag. The thing is, RWBY fans also hate the show lol
I will defend RWBY till the day I die
