Hooray for Xenosagagears!
Somebody brings up a perfectly decent point in the Squaresoft community on LiveJournal.

Stupid people fail to see the point, and proceed to make themselves look progressively stupider in failed attempts to defend themselves.

ETA: Someone tries to accuse the OP of being wanky, and in doing so manages to create fantastically wankalicious mini-rant. Trollish? You decide.

Not that wanky, though that one chick needs to buy a clue, as you said she totally misses the point.

And, i thought Xenosaga very boring. But i know i'm in the minority.

Man... that chrisswiss guy. Just what the hell WAS that? "Okay so it is a different company but that doesn't count because bla bla Namco bla bla Squaresoft legacy bla bla true fans (a red flag for wank) bla bla bla midichlorians bla bla legacy bla".

Oh, and someone give rezogreywords a medal for Missing the Point Entirely, there.

Never mind. It's way too early in the morning to be thinking about things like this.

huh. I've seen the OP's icon somewhere recently. Has s/he been wanked lately?

If you belong to TWS_Support over on lj, he came over to try to get us to admit that "OMG! Yer right, their SOO EVOL!!111one!!one1ichi"

I still think there is some wank in the fact that the OP brought it over to TWS_Support. It's not TWS. It's just rallying support-- "Hey, look, these people are stupid and I'm not! I'm just anal!"

On the other hand, s/he has a point that they shouldn't be talking about Suikoden and Xenosaga in a supposedly Squaresoft community. Aren't there other communities specifically for talking about those series?

And, to be fair, [info]nikari didn't accuse the community of being stupid or anything. He merely pointed out the fact that Xenosaga isn't a Squaresoft game. Also, being as it's one of only two games mentioned in the actual community info, I personally feel that that's a pretty big oversight.

I suppose it can be argued that bringing the attention over to [info]tws_support was a bit on the wanky side, but again, he did have a point, and it was embarrassing to have to watch people banter around the point while completely missing it at the same time.

I would agree with you if it wasn't for the edit:

*double edit*

I didn't realize it, but apparantly the point of this post is to get everyone of you to admit that they are "evol". Someone else said this, so therefore it MUST be true.

And to that person, I don't appreciate that you've commented postively on stuff I've posted before and then say something like that when you think I'm not looking. That's just not kosher. :/


...and what follows that.

The original post to the Squaresoft community may have been a little anal, but I wouldn't consider it wanky. Bringing the whole thing over to [info]tws_support was a little wanky. Turning around and acting like everyone in F_W must love everything you post if they like one thing you post is very wanky. Considering all this, I'm afraid that I can't come to the conclusion that [info]nikari is a poor, persecuted innocent. Sorry.

Honestly I think 'anal' guy was bringing the wank in by the truckload.

Yes Xenosaga was made by NAMCO, please don't have a seizure over this.

Hmph.

I believe I stated in TWS that I wasn't sure if anyone else would think it was TWS or not, but I thought it was worth seeing anyway. (For the record, I didn't actually say anything about Suikoden. I don't know why you thought that, [info]unnamed.)

I'm not sure why there's so much animosity towards me. It'd be one thing if I was dead wrong, but I'm not, and the people in that community just seem to be walking around it and hearing what they want to hear.

Although granted, the cucumber bit was pretty retarded on my part, haha.

For the record, I didn't think you were being wanky -- as the poster of said Wank, I'd like to say that the wank fell on the half of the clueless, overdefensive parties.

Of course, the anonymous poster came in took the cake with the hella wank, but it seems a bit too good to be true, possibly.

Well considering the fact they used the word "Wank", I will assume it's someone here.

Possibly. The thing about F_W folks is that we're often the first to admit when we ourselves are being wanky. Heck, many of us (myself included) have wanked ourselves before. It's not like we're "above" anything.

Still, trolling for wank and intentionally trying to incite it is, at least in my opinion, more wanky than the resultant wank could ever hope to be.

[info]eljuno

You can't ALWAYS assume that.

Given that F_W is well enough known as teh EVOL of fandom, and "Wank" is used in other contexts (There's a quote on my profile page..."It's the rare and beautiful wankah." Said quote was said by my little brother in a Crocodile Hunter voice while staring out a car window at Eurotrash...) that there's a decent chance it might not be one of us.

On the other hand, it might. Can't assume, though.

Someone else in the argument mentioned that they also talk about Suikoden, which is also not Squaresoft, and that fact got mixed into my reply. Pardon!

{I'm not sure why there's so much animosity towards me. It'd be one thing if I was dead wrong, but I'm not, and the people in that community just seem to be walking around it and hearing what they want to hear.}

I think the wank comes from that IMO you're trying really hard to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Someone mentioned a NAMCO game in a Squaresoft thread! Won't someone think of the children?

You're right Xenosaga is NOT a Squaresoft game, but the folks over there really don't seem to care that much and maybe it shouldn't be such an issue to you either.
