[OOC] CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

[HenryJonesJr]

I will say that it is a technical marvel with impeccable acting on all ends even if I rightfully don't like any of the characterization, narration, or pretty much anything else. Also, I really really don't appreciate people disregarding how I feel as fanboy angst. It's up there with people saying if I dislike the film I'm a sexist bigot. It's not cool.

@Inkarnate

I’m in no way saying you can’t dislike it, nor anything else. And I know how y’all are and am inferring nothing about y’all. Because y’all are great. But I think a lot of the fan reaction has been ridiculous regarding Star Wars in general.

Then again I’m someone who thinks Star Wars pre TFA/TLJ was comprised of 2 and1/2 good-to-great movies and then layers upon layers of shit.

I mean, if we're talking EU, then sure. It's like the stool sample of a jewel thief who tried swallowing the evidence: You might find a diamond or two, but you'll have to carve through a mountain of shit to get there...

@Eddie Brock

And the new movies keep ripping off the New Jedi Order and forgetting why those books worked.

I'd be more inclined to be forgiving towards the new movies if the people making them didn't have a habit of jumping onto social media to attack their own customers. There's only so many times you can hear your own concerns dismissed as "whiny man-babies" or accused of being racist/sexist/etc before you stop separating the art from the artist.

@Inkarnate we talk about Star Wars and suddenly you become Jaina with X Wings in your signature

@Sep

While we're on that, if you're championing the old EU, shouldn't those be E-Wings?

Or, sticking with X-Wings, the sexy, sexy XJ-7:

@AndyC

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I think sometimes people can handle it better, but I don't blame people for losing their cool now and again when you're constantly bombarded by the worst people on the internet.

I think it's just best to ignore creators of things you like on social media. I'm solidly in the "Never meet your heroes" camp, because something or another is always gonna end up pissing you off

@AndyC

Technically? No. They'd probably end up being some variant of the XJ-Wings. Probably the 3 Series.

@HenryJonesJr

I don't think we can be friends anymore.

I'm only gonna say it once.

I'm not against a temporary ban against some folks if this keeps going.

I'm 100% serious in that I want to nip the Star Wars thing in the bud before some harsh words are exchanged over who likes what, who thinks what is bullshit, who believes Boba Fett was the secret savior of the entire franchise, ect. This is a path that has literally led to paid actors and directors either leaving social media due to harassment or saying goodbye to the prospect of working on the franchise in the first place, and it's a slippery slope of toxicity that has no place in a game about superheroes.

I am not interested in who thought what about The Last Jedi (nor do I want to divulge my thoughts), just as I'm not looking to start a debate over the prequels, the spin-offs, or anything else. This is the stuff that idiotic online fighting is bred from. Unless you're literally Mark Hamill posting on the forum and want to reference the day you had to film in the bacta tank for Empire in order to relate it to writing a post, this conversation is done.

I do not appreciate being undermined, nor do I want to start inflicting punishment over something as trivial as this, but that's the way it is. This is exactly why I had reservations about doing an SW game in the first place, because if the OOC thread is going to be nothing but this type of snide swiping at parts of a franchise some people like and other people don't ad-infinium, it's not worth the headache.

EDIT: Cutting off my convo as per MB's decree.

[Ladypug]

I WAS SUMMONED?

@Sep I gave it a laugh cuz I'm a sucker for puns. What else can I say? :P

Hopefully it's cool for me to reply like this lol

[mickilennial]

@Ladypug I imagine it depends if there is a curiosity or interest in the game, my dear.

@Ladypug

You're good.

*keeps eyeing the character application page*

Say. That's a real nice application, isn't it?

Be a shame if someone...

Didn't apply.

[Ladypug]

@Master Bruce *gasp* Who? Me? You want me to apply?

[mickilennial]

@Ladypug

I mean that's the idea of a RP.

[Eddie Brock]

Anyone else weirdly attracted to MB when he uses his "GM voice?" No, just me? Alright, well, I'll just mark it down in my journal to talk about with my therapist later...

[Ladypug]

Nah, I'll just lurk - playing official characters ain't really my thing anymore. Always nervous about not writing 'em correctly

Y'all have fun though ;D

[Byrd Man]

I get off a plane and find... whatever the hell this is. I gotta stop getting on planes.
