Twitch Plays Pokemon

[Sephiroth]

I visited the channel. 7 days with 60000-100000 people pressing a button? No thanks. I still cannot understand what people think of as awesome nowadays while hating things that really have been made with much effort.

It has to do with having low expectations and having those expectations being exceeded vs. having high expectations and not having those expectations even being close to met.

And yeah, people like simple things.

No, it has to do with a ridiculous anti-hype-hype were it is cool to hate things because others do as well and search for any reason, no matter how illogical it is.

You mean like, making a big deal out of the fact that someone making a sword for entertainment purposes didn't use the precise measurements?

No, like you do by taking a post of someone who does not go with the flow. When something is supposed to be a total adaption (movies for example are not and get hated for it but the length of a weapon can be made accurately) then it should be what it is called. My critics do not come from peer pressure and are not illogical as everything I say can be very well explained such as the Odachi example you refer to, that is the difference. It also has nothing to do with "face value" as there is no necessity in justifying it by getting wannabe-intellectual since none of the 100000 people on that channel does it for that purpose and none of them would waste their time for exactly those "deep thoughts". Look at your post and look at mine, which was not worse than what other people wrote about the channel being "bad", just in other words. None of what I have said would have required that exaggerated picture or a counter post which is supposed to attack me with a previous post of mine while ignoring the logic that was in my post which is very well written in a certain context and so is the post you have replied to and you know it as good as me that Twitch-visitors do not spend half a day for what you say. You are getting polemical and ignore your own principles once someone dislikes something you like and take it personal as for some reason your communication partner itself is the reason for you to purposely understand something the unintended way, that is exactly what communication psychology shows as one of the possible problems in the 2. axiom (if we want to get intellectual as you have started I can very well use my psychology degree since you seem to insist on accusing guys who analyze the actual situation of being "restricted when it comes to the value of things" ) and this is not worth getting headaches, ask yourself if that waste of time replying to me with your super-sized picture and the other post was worth it. I personally do not insist on arguing with you so this discussion is over.
