I'm 30 and my guess is you're barely pushing 20 because that tends to be the demographic where you think you're highly sophisticated and serious and above all those people 4 years your junior. Humor is subjective. I nearly fell off my chair when he went "PYLO! NOOOO!". And then there are people who think Larry the Cable Guy is funny. Also if you really like Husky and HD, you should post this on their forums/site, they started it for a reason. 200,000 people disagree with you. The majority of TL.net's 5581 active members probably do as well. Pylo is a general Starcraft 2 topic. It's an inside joke in our community. If you want the community to consist solely of Serious Competitive Gamers then you need to get yourself a DeLorean and turn the dial to 2005 or so, when 90% of us had forgotten all about a 7 year old DOS based RTS running at 640x480. That TL.net, unless the management collectively decides to bury their heads in the sand and circle the wagons, is gone. The new TL.net is about both BW and SC2, and the community surrounding them. Well-loved jokes from a massively popular SC2 progaming commentator are part of this community. TL;DR - going into a thread where other people are talking about something they subjectively enjoy and pissing all over it because you subjectively don't enjoy it makes you look like a complete moron. | ||

Why do people hate on a nerdy meme... the internet is full of them. Some are completely silly.... but that is the POINT of memes. They are silly. By their very nature they are silly stupid pointless events that spawn a following simply because people find amusement in the stupidity. Its great. You don't have like it. But trying to hate a meme doesn't make you cool. It makes you a very sad person. Don't argue that you are better because you can look down your nose at the people finding enjoyment in simple things. You are just sadder and probably very bitter about something that doesn't matter. Let the hate go and try enjoying life. Take pleasure from the random silly events around you. Man a whole thread of putrid bitterness the like of which I haven't seen since wow forums. Impressive that pylos demise could spawn such controversy. May he RIP. P.S Esports isn't here yet..... please stop being a bunch of roosters trying to peck each other to death to establish who controls esports.... lets work together to foster and grow it. | ||

If you hate something that's fine and if you want to post that's good too but at least construct a half decent sentence about why you find the subject not funny instead of acting like an immature 4chan /b/ user. | ||

That's the entire point you missed so magnificently. Because you obviously failed to grasp it, I'll make it clear - I don't actually think your name is stupid. I don't really care what your, or anyone's name is. It was a parody of your post. Really odd that copying your sentence structure so blatantly didn't clue you in to that. | ||

When I joined TL in the middle of last year, back when Husky was still doing BW commentaries there was basically no hate; and certainly not all this venom. Sure, you still had some of the same arguments about him not being particularly knowledgeable, but no one really disliked the guy or what he did. Husky even used to post alot here, and was a generally liked and respected guy, but now it seems like he was really cut back on his posting because of all the crazy polarization and derailing that seems to follow. What changed? Did he do some terribly underhand dishonest things to deserve this that I just somehow haven't even heard about? Just curious as to what might have happened for such a dramatic shift in opinions. TL's userbase used to be mostly mannered BW vets (and the ones who weren't mannered were just wacky). Now it's every kid who has ever googled "SC2". Good or bad, that's what's changed. | ||

You're perfectly welcome to act like a rabid Internet tough guy. saying this sucks, not funny shouldnt be thought of as idiotic and ignorant, rather as an opinion. I know it's an opinion. It's not an opinion anyone gives two craps about. This is not some important ethical principle that you need to champion. It's a joke, and when 90% of people are laughing at the joke, the proper reaction by someone who doesn't think it's funny is to go do something else, not tell everyone to stop thinking it's funny because by god Therickz is the arbiter of all humor everywhere, and turns subjective opinions into immutably objective facts. You're welcome to your opinion, and "this isn't funny" and "I don't like that commentator" are perfectly reasonable opinions to have. When and where you choose to air your opinions is what's idiotic, not your opinions themselves. unless you are like the rest of the mindless TL fanbase of HD and Husky which will defend them against any critisism People who like things that you don't like are "mindless". Arrogant much? and spit on people who think that they are not the best casters in the world 1. I don't think they're the best casters in the world 2. I've never seen anyone "spit on" someone who just said "I don't like HD and Husky that much, their commentary isn't informed enough" 3. This thread is not about the quality of random commentators. If you want to make comments about the quality of a commentary, there are plenty of threads where that is indeed the topic. 4. I don't personally like HD's commentary much, but I'm not on some rage-fueled crusade to say something bad about him every time anyone mentions him. cus face it they are not. That's an awfully absolutist statement to make about something wholly subjective, like the quality of a sports commentator. But let's indeed face the only quantifiable measurement of commentators, which is number of regular viewers, and you can very objectively say that they are by far the most popular commentators in Western e-sports. get bent Thank you for continually moving the level of discourse to "shrieking monkey flinging feces" status. You make YouTube comments look like the Oxford debate team. | ||
