What is wrong with these people. Paying $60 extra  so you don't have to play the game you bought is a good deal? YOU ARE PAYING THE COMPANY THAT MADE THE GAME EXTRA MONEY SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO PLAY THE CONTENT IN THE GAME.

 "It only takes me four days to get to level 90 so I'll pay 4 months of subs to not have to do that."

I bought the black one, but my friend bought the purple one because it was the "official" color, as proclaimed by Nintendo (pbuh).

[CatsCatsCats]

Only intolerant xbots have a problem with purple, worried they'll catch the gay. Wait until Smash Bros and Mario 128 comes out, GCN will be on top, nintendo4eva

But it all ties into Generation Wuss and its wussy influence on social media to a degree; if you have a snarky opinion about anything, you’re a douche. To me, that’s problematic. It limits discourse. If you just like everything, what are we going to talk about? How great everything is? How often I’ve pushed the Like button on my Facebook page?

Is it BuzzFeed who said they’re not going to run any negative reviews any more? Really, guys? What’s going to happen to culture then? What’s going to happen to conversation? It’s going to die.

Years ago, I found Jezebel.com very ominous and worrying. I mean, not that I care that much, but now it really has come full circle.

Buzzfeed, Upworthy, etc publishing only positive and uplifting material reflects more on their catering toward middle aged women on Facebook than anything else. It has been a very openly discussed marketing strategy. Middle aged women share the most articles on social media and middle aged women read predominately "Ten things that will reaffirm your faith in humanity!" type stuff. And that market is far from the market that is necessary to creating "culture" or has any type of artistic influence.

So no, dude is grasping at straws. It's a dumb, misinformed opinion based on the idea that "Millennials can't take criticism". Which I tend to think comes from the fact that we took away Gen X and priors ability to say taco and distinguished black fellow without being shit on in public. Sorry guys, that was totally us. Feel free to go down swinging.

[Shadow Mod]

Speaking of which, you can't really equate the huge group of millennials with gawker and its similar avenues figuring out the best way to generate hits from the otherside of the Fox News spectrum is to be as sensationalist and reactionary as possible, which includes throwing around "sexist" and "racist" since it's great click bait.

[benjipwns]

Of course it has some "kids get off my lawn, back in my day we were awesome" qualities to it and I certainly see no reason to limit it to any made-up generation. But I've had too many instances on the internet and off where people mistake disagreement for some kind of personal criticism or vendetta and as touched upon here recently where "argument" is frowned upon and only considered negative. Instead people say they just want to have a "discussion" or "conversation" where everyone agrees with and reinforces each other.

It's a mentality that winds up becoming its own more tribal and divisive ouroboros because no disagreement is allowed internally.

Somebody summarize please.

Depends. I see plenty of conversations that never actually get to a difference of "educated" opinion though. On the internet it's quite often stuck at lowest common denominator horseshit, at least about social issues, because someone wants to play the willful fool. It's not so much "everyone has to agree on this subject" it's "can we all agree on reality?"

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Gawker and the sites Gawker Media owns are clickbait junk.  In fact, they don't even really bother trying to hide it.  It works if GAF is any indicator.  Now other sites are trying to imitate it because all they care about are the hits/clicks.  It has set an unfortunate precedent but only if you're dumb enough to take those sites seriously.
