7. THE MOVIE WAS FANTASTIC /o/ It was a perfect balance of 'for the fans' and 'for new people'. I loved it a million times MORE after replaying the game again, because I was never 'into' FFVII so I missed a lot of the little things =\ And people hate on newcomers for the sake of BEING newcomers cuz their stuckup, and people want to convince themselves they're better than someone else. Nothin' new.

10. I am currently NOT ENTIRELY THRILLED with the new seaon but I will endure. Nathan is awesome too D= ...and Matt and Mohinder make a surprisingly cute gay couple.

22. lolo

23. I really wonder about the type of people who have flists composed of people who will defriend you for not liking a series. I hear this a LOT. I feel like I am completely blind to a large portion of the internet.

Uh no. We hate it cause it's kinda lame =\ My roommate is an FFVII newcomer, and I don't hate on her or anyone else I know just because they're NEW.

...this mysteriously does not really apply to my comment as far as I can tell?

Yes?

Ooooooooh. That's not really how I meant that. If you DON'T hate on anyone for the sake of being a newcomer than you are not stuck up, and thus the statement does not really apply. It's less "Everyone hates newcomers ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE NEWCOMERS" and more "older fans who are stuck up may hate new comers just for being new".

Clearly I could have phrased that better. I found another grammar error while I was working at it. But obviously no, not all old players hate new players just because they are new. But the mentality of "I got here first makes me better than you" is a common trend just about everywhere.
