The Problem with Destructoid
Snaileb | 3:57 PM on 10.04.2007 90 comments


OMG DESTRUCTOID ARE OVER SENSTIVE ASSHOLES!! ALL THEY DO IS TALK MAD LOADS OF IMMATURE BULLSHIT AND POST NEWS THAT IS RETARDED! YOU ALL ACT LIKE FRAT BOYS AND GIRLS HATE YOUR SITE! BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH...

Ok.. do I have your attention?




Former member funnydale recently posted a rebutal to my epic post YOU FUCKING ASS : This is why we can't have nice things in regards to me calling him out for being a two faced ninny. Well, I was being an immature asshole, and I really do still feel the sameway I did before about this guy.


Now it's time to be cereal for a second. Wait, no, it fact it's time to be serious. Fighting on the internet is retarded. Everyone will agree to that, and when you're on the internet, you tend to post your opinions. Some people will not appreciate things that are said, other people will praise you, everyone knows this as well. There are fanboys, there are trolls, there are some really cool people on the internet, and they tend to stick together for the sake of ...well?


What is it that makes us herd ourselves to this place, a place considered to be the chapel of gaming? A place where not only can you voice an opinion, and interact with not only the community, but the awesome people that run this site as well? funnydale obviously hasn't figured it out, and like an emo kid trying to find acceptance underneath his masscara and scars, he thinks he's found his new fortress of solitude on a new site, along with some other people who don't like the way Destructoid does things.


^ The above is just one man, or many, voicing his opinion about the site. Totally respectable, normal, things to do. BUT when you start running your fingers away from the keyboard to not only tarnish Destructoid's name, and it's community, not to mention our dearest Ron Workman, in the sake of just having an opinion.. well, that's a whole nother bag my friends.


This is what that assjack has apparently done. He has made it clear exactly what he thinks about Destructoid, and has voiced his opinion as very two faced. I'm not going to bash his opinion, even though I think he is lame, and even though I think fighting on the internet IS retarded, here's a clue to why I do what I do.


I'm 21, and I work in an office. Everyone around me is AT LEAST twice my age, and work tends to get very slow. I love videogames, and I love the internets. I believe I may have won a few in my time. You know as much as me we all still :

1) Eat Peanut Butter Jelly sandwiches without crust
2) Watch Sat. Cartoons
3) Be immature when we can
4) Love videogames.

Well at least number 4. So when I found Destructoid, it was a sanctuary for me. A gamers haven, and I haven't given it up yet. I love the site, it's editors : amazing. They almost seem more nerdy than me, and though the community has had a bad reputation on other sites, I couldn't care less, because I am a Destructoid fanboy.


I've gone out of my way to meet some of you, and some of you have gone out of your way to meet me, and there is no site on earth (sans Craiglist) that does this. Some of you are engineers, scientists, government agents, gaybears, and even big corparation managers. It's amazing the amount of intelligence that randomly gathers at this site.


You know.. fuck it. This post has become too long and this twat doesn't deserve any drama, or attention.

I just wanted to let people know of other peoples opinions, because obviously they wanted it heard that badly that they have to abandon the people that he needed another site to get away from whatever it is he's butthurt about. I also want people to know I'm glad I have a hardcore gamers website that will weed out the assholes, even when I'm not here, and thankful for said posts. Posts like this guy helps me appreciate Destructoid even more, and I hope 20 years from now we'll all be at each others throats about the PS9 and the X1080, for the sake of voicing your opinion.

I didn't say anything mean about the man or his site, or anything I wouldn't say infront of my own mother.

But I do say assjack all the time in front of my family.

And the Lord did look upon Snaileb, and gave unto him great words with which to speak of his passion for Destructoid. He then looked about the world he had created, and all the assjacks within, and smote the foul creatures both merrily and mightily.

WE ARE CEREAL BUSINESS! But in all cerealness, I have to agree with Snaileb and as such beat my chest, so to speak. I AM A DESTRUCTOID FANBOY! And since we all know the wonderful awesomeness that is Dtoid, its perfectly ok to say that.

Bitch Factory is an awesome band name.

Hoping to stave off a Spidey moment, remember that the dude gave himself the nickname "Funnydale," which sounds like a microprocessor code name.

@Aaron

Well, I'm kind of half-way on this. Kind of. Sometimes, you can look at someone trying to start shit by making a huge, bitchy post about another member like, say, Puppet for this example. And everyone get together and have fun with it.

I certainly don't take myself or the internet seriously and I believe that Snaileb doesn't have any "drama whoring" intent. He just doesn't seem like that kind of person. I think he is just trying to make light of a guy who is taking this shit way too seriously.

We have one of the most enjoyable, amusing, active and full-of-life communities of any gaming site I've seen. Perhaps even THE most. There are some whiney bitches and assholes and Puppets here, but most of us are pretty intelligent and, hey, we have senses of humor. And that's more than I can say for the majority of the twats on IGN, 1UP, Joystiq, or Kotaku.

When you're the best, you get haters. ;)

Ok, I'm not one to jump on internet drama like this but this has to be said.

If you over generalize a group of people, for instance, generalizing destructoids members as immature, childish, and over-sensitive. You are out right debunked. For that statement this persons argument just got tossed out of the window. I do not know who this person is, and I'm sure he could be an upstanding person. I am not going to judge him apart from his retarded statement I previously mentioned. But I will point out how idiotic it is to generalize destructoids members into a group like that. While I will agree some members are this way, we are NOT ALL like this. Life is filled with immature people, assholes, and whiny pricks, but not ALL. Do Not generalize, its the same thing as racial profiling "oh that african american robbed a bank, they all must be bad! FEAR THE BLACK MAN!" poor analogy, but maybe it got the message across.

OH! and if this is really because of how we act towards other members on this site.. well tough shit, thats destructoid, if you can understand that we are JUST FUCKING AROUND, then you are fitting to the group. But if you take shit too seriously, and cant take a joke, then we push further until you either A) lighten up or B) you walk out. Now if thats why we are being called out ... who's over sensitive now?

Now its time for the cheesy inspirational words of the day!
- We try to lighten up the soul every day, we push people till we get them to understand that its all in good fun and nothing should be taken seriously on the internets. It's the playground for mischief, let it go! Join the fun, grab some beer, and have a blast! The only ones who fall, are the ones who bite back with serious intent.

Dtoid is what Dtoid is, and has never tried to be anything but a natural extension of the original bloggers, posters and members who made the site what it is today, warts and all. I've never found Dtoid pretentious, nor the majority of the cbloggers.

Oh, and @ Riser Glen...

Yes, it is.

True, the majority of people here are not overly pretentious. There are some, but I'm not pointing fingers. I'm just saying that sometimes folks have a certain mentality simply because they are "Indie" and unique.

Now time for my stupid example: If you are/want to be a Black-Jewish-Gay-Woman and with it's quadruple minority status, expect to get some commentary and some looks your way...so deal.

I love 1ups podcast (though I loved it more when Luke was on) but I hate their community. I used to post but got sick of people always being SO overbearingly serious about video games and not letting things drop.

...then I found Destructoid, a place where I can have a great conversation about games, even a heated conversation at times, but always end up giving a virtual-hug in the end and then laughing about some good internet memems. Snail even drove to my house in Cincinnati from Florida this past weekend just to meet and hang out and win some halos. How often does that ever happen at 1up?

Am I ripping on 1up's community? No. I'm saying it isn't for me. I have better things to do than argue with a bunch of Sony fanboys who think Shane is the end-all/be-all of video games. I'm sick of talking to people who think forum posts are confirmation. I want to go laugh and have a good time, whether I'm chatting about video games or joking about Paris Hilton's STD's.

We are really childish, huh?




Oh wait!!!! I just figured out why he doesn't like us! It's because we KICK THEIR ASS every damn month. Don't believe me? Want me to prove it?

http://www.sitemeter.com/?a=stats&s=s23destructoid&r=33

Let's ignore the consistency of the ass whooping and just look at the last month we have in common; August 2007. Destructoid is looking at over 2.5 million visits for the month. 1up is looking at over 1.1 million visits. I'm no mathematician but I think that's over double what they get.

Guess those fart jokes are working for us, huh? ;)

Damn, we are independent, too? And we are less than two years old? I would say we are doing something right, wouldn't you, funnydale?

Hey, I like the guys at 1UP quite a bit, which has absolutely nothing to do with their community. Like any, it's a mixed bag. It's the Internet, which is a big place.

Man, everyone knows Destructoid is all about the drama.

@ BuckF1tches
It might help, for accuracy's sake, to not use two different measurement standards. It would be awesome if it was true, but if Destructoid isn't as big as Kotaku or Joystiq yet, what makes you think they're bigger than 1UP?

Destructoid is the most HONEST gaming site on the internets. Period.

Also, I don't have time for elitism, or blatant lies like "I don't masturbate to Samus, I'm an intellectual gosh darnit.". Riiiight.

Necros, I couldn't find them on sitemeter, otherwise I would have used it. Hard to believe, but we are actually bigger than 1up. Of course, they have a huge podcast fanbase and a great magazine (EGM), but we are talking about internet communities here, and Dtoid's is actually bigger.
