Things That Annoy You

[Ironchew]

Back on the CWCki, I spent months with a Pinkie Pie version of the Repo! avatar I currently use. It started with a spate of changes to MLP avatars as part of a forum-wide running gag regarding the brony population, and I maintained it afterward purely because it made people irrationally, enormously mad to see it.

When some people at /cwc/ doxxed me, they legit thought I was a brony.

Not surprising. As a former lurker on /cwc/, I remember they would insta-ban and spew vitriol at anyone and everyone that even thought of posting MLP-anything. It was one of their better policies.

There was actually a small "faction" on /cwc/ that hated the CWCki and everyone on it with a blind passion. They constantly sent in trolls and tried to dox as many people as they could, with the staff being the top targets.

Fun story: I was one of the people they doxxed back in 2012, when I was a moderator. The only trolling I got (despite my phone number, email, Tumblr, etc. being plastered around) was a pair of phone calls (only one of which even left a "JULAY" voicemail) and a pair of barely spammy messages on Tumblr.

To make things even better, they started fighting because I was too attractive. They thought I was some basement-dwelling fat brony virgin with Asperger's, a neckbeard, and a fedora. And.....well, you can see my pictures in the Member Pictures Thread. Some of them insisted that they must have been wrong about me, because nobody as attractive and normal as myself could ever be a CWCki moderator. A few of them stopped trolling altogether because of the infighting over my prettiness.

I honestly don't see how you can be around that website [CWCki] without getting a head-ache. Not only do they focus on the hell that poor man is living in to where it's toxic, but also it feels like an spin-off of the Encyclopaedia Dramatica - if the people there got sick of talking about him and moved everything from that article into an entire Wiki.

So, basically Chitoryu12 was saved when his attackers were "distracted by sexy?"

I've heard many accounts for the feuding at CWCki, but this explanation appears to be the most objective and reasonable of them all.

I'm not kidding. The people who were trying to troll us had a very specific view of me; the only thing they knew about me was that I was a moderator and I had a pony avatar. They figured that I must have been some ugly freak and that they could embarrass me to death. But they pulled up my Tumblr, my Facebook, my modeling profile, etc. They literally thought that they must have gotten the wrong guy, and then started debating if I was really as weird as they thought. It was hilarious.

I have sore-vaccine-spot right now.

Totally worth it, but still a pain.  Literally.

[QueenofHearts]

I hate to break it to you, Chit, but you're not attractive.

Because I use Microsoft-style formatting for things like that.  I blame C#.

This.

I love the Elder Scrolls series of games to bits, but good GOD can the fandom be annoying. There's this specific subsection that does nothing but cry and scream about things like how CARROTS were initially weightless in Skyrim. These morons will claim, completely unironically, that weightless carrots have literally ruined the game.

And they whine on and on about "realism" and "immersion" (yet still oppose a fatness slider in character creation), complaining that Bethesda did not, in fact, employ a team of virgin oracles to foresee every little thing they might want or try to do in the game.
"Boo hoo, Besthesda did not cater to my extremely specific and possibly contradictory whims; I am after all more important that the entire fan base put together"

I'm right with you. I love the Elder Scrolls to bits (especially Skyrim) but the fandom is ridiculous. Between the Stormcloak and Imperial partisans, The Morrowwind purists, and the worshipers of needless precision, I find it quite aggravating.

Not to mention the weird belief that they make up the ENTIRE fandom and that Bethesda has some kind of obligation to please them over actually making enough money to keep the company going. An actual obligation that they are somehow not living up to.
Moreover, Morrowind was my favourite game, but I greatly enjoy Oblivion and Skyrim...on their own merits. I'd get buried alive if I implied that I didn't really care for Daggerfall.
These dipsticks need to chill out. *sigh*

[Witchyjoshy]

Wait, buried alive where?  Most TES fandumb that I know of has barely even played Daggerfall.  The fact that they see fast travel as a terrible, casual thing (despite the fact that Morrowind is actually the most out-of-place one in the entire series because it lacks it) and that they define TES as Morrowind leads me to believe that most of them started with Morrowind and never looked back.

Same way with a lot of Final Fantasy fans starting with FF7 and becoming fanboys that hate every game that came after it simply because it wasn't FF7.

[gyeonghwa]

Well there's the RE fans who think anything before the RE4 type sucked. Yeah they put the fan in fanaticism.
