Can Yall Give It A Rest For Five Seconds Oml - Blog Posts

Yeahhhhhh I second this notion.

I've played this event since the first round and I really miss the first round's atmosphere. It was much more fun because everyone was much chiller and no one was telling others that they were murder apologists for picking a specific anime boy in a dressup game event. It don't matter who you pick here. It's just a popularity contest in an anime dressup game with styling battles thrown in for gameplay. It effects nothing in either real life or the game itself's lore. People can like problematic characters without endorsing their actions. People can like problematic characters without ever mimicking their actions. Most people who like these characters understand that they've done some shit but they like them anyway whether it be due to the character design, personality, character quirks, or whatever else. Because, guess what? Characters are more than their actions. Sometimes the motive behind the actions is almost more important than the actions themselves.

Stuff like this is why I always wanna just turtle up and drop off social media when this event comes around anymore. People get super super toxic towards people who pick Nidhogg and/or Shade for really no good reason :v

Oh and also, please stop acting like the people who pick a character for being hot are in the wrong somehow. That's a perfectly legitimate reason to pick a fictional character in a popularity contest? They can make that choice if they want to? Especially from a game like this where I'd say characterization is definitely one of its weak points. Especially for the main characters, most of then are bland as white bread.

One last note here. I hate to be "that person" who's all "owo uwu think of the children" but uhh y'all do realize this game is mostly marketed at younger girls correct? Can you really justify calling the people who pick these characters murder apologists and all that other nasty shit when there's a good chance the person might be younger and just picking whichever character stands out to them the most? Obviously this crap isn't okay no matter how old the target is but just think on that a bit before you start up again please.

Anyway in conclusion this is my favorite event and I'd appreciate if we could all stop being angry hobgoblins who can't handle different character preferences. There's some of y'all on both sides and both of you need to stop. Please. It's a popularity contest ffs it's really not that serious.

It is starting again. There’s nothing wrong with liking character including very problematic characters (that doesn’t make you a psychopath irl). I really like this event don’t get me wrong but what happened last time was a big shitstorm at some points. I hope this time we can be a bit more respectful and not trash people for their choice like last time! It is just a dressup game after all and we all just want to have fun uwu
