Comments

[ariakas]

I almost believe most of the people commenting on this don't play video games

I have over 60 titles for my PS3 alone, comrade. I have had a console current to every generation and the largest gaming library of virtually everyone I know since the age of five.

Your belief is entirely mistaken.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, maybe you're not in that "most" category, aren't you?

Man, basic reading comprehension could serve you in the future, when you're playing you're huge gaming library.

[ariakas]

I do believe that the clear implication behind that statement was that if you're gravely mistaken about me, you could well be just as gravely mistaken about everyone you've assumed does not game in this thread.

Man, somewhat intermediate reading comprehension, it could serve you in the future, when you're making knee-jerk reactionary comments to someone who disagrees with you.

[(Anonymous)]

No, because I said "most", not "all". So it's stupid to try and pin anything on "implications", because there's what I literally said vs what you made up.

when you're making knee-jerk reactionary comments to someone who disagrees with you.

Uh, you did that with me. First. You assumed I hadn't accounted for people like you. I had.

[ariakas]

No, the notion that most people who disagree with you don't game is something you've quite literally just made up. My example is evidence that you are incorrect. This is obvious from my first statement.

I like the scare quotes around "implications". We all know words don't ever imply things - that's make believe!

[(Anonymous)]

Implications are conclusions that can be drawn from things that are not explicitly said.

My statement was deliberate and lacked any sort of hidden meaning. I already made a reservation for people who did game yet wanted set protagonists to also have a female option.

You postulated that my theory made no sense because of your existence. I pointed out your existence didn't affect my guess one way or another.

So, on top of a lack of reading comprehension, you also don't know what "implications" means.

[ariakas]

No, your theory makes no sense because it has literally no evidence behind it whatsoever, and at least one counterexample I could immediately bring to bear - as I made implicitly clear in my response. It's just something you made up, with a hedging clause to explain away any and all of those who take issue with it, because they disagree and it is not the case for them.

Which is sheer intellectual cowardice, because now anyone who responds to you, as I did, as a counterexample, will be written off as not falling under the "most" - rather, they will be "the exception", so you have conveniently set yourself up with a theory that cannot be proven wrong, because it is what you want to believe about those who disagree with you.

/sigh

I did not misread your first statement. I could, however, have explicitly rather than implicitly made clear the intent behind my counter claim, because you clearly did not understand it - and clarity is important when holding a discussion in writing.
