Hi folks.
Good morning/afternoon/night
I just wanted to share with you guys something i've just experienced while engaging in a conversation with some (non Mass effect players) friends of mine today.
You guys probably already know that 99% of the people who have not played ME or haven't seen the ending of ME3 are against us.At the begining of the discussion after i explained why we started this movement, their reaction was exactly the same we've been seen around the internet so much, like "you guys are entitled/spoiled childs" "you want a happy rainbow ending, etc".After that i explained that our major complaint wasn't the sad tune of the ending but the inconsistencies and plot holes of the same, and then again i've heard what we've already heard a thousand times around the internet "It's their game, they can do what ever they want to do" "it's art,etc".
At this point i was already kinda pissed off, but, i kept my politeness and asked "If we get the ending changed via DLC as we want, how will this affect the people who liked the ending?If they liked the ending they can keep it, no one is forcing them into downloading the DLC, am i right?So why all the hatred?
They went silent for some seconds ...
And i thought "gotcha".But after that since they've had no response they returned to their initial bashing of the movement.
Don't get them wrong, they aren't ME players so they are seeing the situation from an outside perspective.
The point is that i have felt like a scientist during the inquisition, however logical i was they were insisting that i was wrong no matter how vague their arguments were.
My conclusion is that this must be human nature, since we always hear the same arguments and curiously the same name calling as well.
The lesson i have learned out of this is "You should never discuss about something you don't understand otherwise you may look stupid and unresonable" (like they did to me).
The funny thing is that we look much more civilized than the people who attack us saying we are haters...
