Annon-Guy: Weird aks, but have you ever delt with a friend who's 'harsh' and critical about EVERYTHING you like in regards to characters and their designs?

Say you share your love of the Guilty Gear cast, but when you show them to a group of friends, all but one says they like the characters, personality and desgin alike, when you show them. However, the one friend keeps calling all of the character designs you like trash, awful and/or garbage, showing no mercy.

I know everyone has their tastes, but do you think it can be disheartening to have something you like get critiqued in such a harsh manner instead of a respectful way?

I feel like you've been LISTENING IN ON MY CONVERSATIONS on Discord or something... I've had similar "heated" discussions with my so-called "mutuals" on these topics, especially for Strive recently.

I'll be honest, I've put up with this kind of "trash talk" for many many years... and it is hard to put up with, especially as a fan of the series as a whole.

The longer you invest time in to something you like, the more involved you get... and hearing anyone talk badly about stuff you like feels like torture somedays...

Some people have NO CONSIDERATION for the feelings of the people they vent to, it's like they might as well NOT be fans at all.

But, the truth is, there is some grey area there... so of course they like "some aspects", but it's not like it's necessary to like everything.

Troublesome as that may be, I think it's important to be honest about how you feel towards people... but sometimes it's difficult to "share the same perspectives" if people don't see where you're coming from.

I know a guy who thinks Ishiwatari betrayed him, all because he centered his "fan group" around a specific character that got changed in particular ways... and he feels like they're denying his very existence.

It's rough to feel that way about things... but I also feel like you need to develop a certain amount of "realistic detachment" from the things you're zeroed in on and the things that aren't actually "a part" of who you are as a person.

You can't expect the situation to ever be flawless or perfect, whether it's characters you like, story you like, music you like, or gameplay nuances, or other gimmicks and features... even if one thing is wrong, it can sometimes feel like the whole concept falls apart like a house of cards.

But you know... deep down that's not true.

The things you like, the things others like... while they're different, they're both somehow connected one way or other...

And that's just something you have to face and realize between each other, whether as friends, or as rivals, or just as incompatible people who agree to disagree.

You don't talk about what sets the other people off, and vice-versa... at least if you want to get along for the time being.

But, if they can't agree to at least respect your feelings, it's not like you're obligated to appeal to their thoughts yourself!

But, if there's one key thing I've learned "going out of your way to hate on stuff", is the wrong way to go about things!

I should know... at one point I had a BLOG dedicated to venting my anger... and some people might even remember it.

Being honest is one thing, but hurting others just because you're hurting is also wrong... it's an injustice.

So how do you set things right?

For starters... accept that nothing is ever perfect, no matter how great something is...

After that: acknowledge that the parts you zeroed in on are only "just one facet" of what's really going on... whether it's what you liked, or it's what you disliked.

Thirdly... BE MATURE. Being mature means you respect other peoples' feelings and perspectives, even just a little bit, try to see things from their perspective. Trash talking is out of the question, even if you're not talking about that person directly, you're still trashing stuff they like.

Fourthly, and this one's IMPORTANT: acknowledge the GOOD THINGS: BE CONSTRUCTIVE. No good idea was ever born from bad intentions. That's the truth of this world. No matter what amount of evidence may suggest otherwise.

And even in the cases that it looks like a "happy accident", consider that most ideas are actually born from failed concepts to begin with... Guilty Gear took a bunch of ideas from other stuff too, and is no exception to that rule.

So yeah, technically speaking, everything is an ENDLESS CHAIN of RECYCLED IDEAS.

Doesn't have to stop here either, no matter if you liked the game or not. But especially if you didn't like it and WANT to stop it... that sort of destructive behavior involves hurting other people.... c'mon now... don't be a party pooper!

It's called being reasonable with others... and it doesn't just apply to you, it applies to EVERYONE. Everyone should be reasonable to everyone else... how else are we gonna get along in this tiny world of ours?

There's such a thing as "getting greedy"... and sometimes people who are "angry at stuff" can overdo it and tend to wallow in their own despair.

This is just my personal experience, but... when something doesn't go your way, maybe it's a good idea to look for other ways to be happy?

Not everyone is born lucky. Sometimes you get the short end of the stick.

But taking that out on others isn't going to change things... Instead of hating on the stuff you didn't get... It's better to look for stuff you CAN OBTAIN.

If the path you walk is full of thorns, find a new path. Doesn't that sound better?

Of course, for a guy like Sol Badguy, the path of thorns was a path he just kept right on walking... until he stomped those thorns FLAT.

It takes a great deal of strength and care to be able to do that... not just anyone can do it. Maturity, wisdom, and courage too.

As for YOU, Annon-guy, I suggest you keep walking a path that suits YOU the BEST.

Sometimes you just gotta keep moving. Just be sure to let everyone who likes your ideas know... the more friends you got on your side, the easier it gets.

As for me... like Order Sol (and Sin Kiske), I'll just do my best and KEEP THE FLAG FLYING.

I'm a GG fan... always will be. Doesn't matter what others think. I'm ME. And I won't change who I am.

Same goes for everyone else.

Opening My Own Candy Store at Home to Trap Queen in Backyard! | Rebecca Zamolo

youtube

Rebecca Zamolo tried switching lives with my twin for a day to trick Daniel in a 24 hour challenge, then Matt and Rebecca had Matt go on a first date with Mr X in disguise to reveal secret gifs and funny memes. In the real Game Master video it revealed we found someone living in the secret room inside our house with Queen of Gems Secrets In the GM Lair. Rebecca decides to trap the Queen of gems by opening her own candy store in her backyard. She can’t hear us in the tiny house so we need to sneak in to reveal the plan. Once all of the candy is in place we need to distract AL so we can get the queen of gems outside to trap her. Rebecca and Maddie test real food vs gummy food and eat giant gummies. Matt talks with AL and does a fake prank with shaving cream and a cone. Instead of Rebecca eating it Maddie takes a quick bite and is tricked. Next, cousin Maddie and Matt make the worlds largest cotton candy. Rebecca bakes cookies but one goes missing. Next round Matt and Rebecca do the first to finish the snow cone wins. It’s a giant diy challenge in their backyard. Peanut tries to help but no one wins and they are forced to do the slip n slide Olympics. Rebecca and Maddie make a giant ice cream sundae slip n slide and the queen sneaks outside. Can we trap her in time to trick Al and rescue RZ and the game master? Thanks for watching my funny entertainment mystery vlog videos in 2020!
