You sound fat

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

but most people who casually game DO know what it is, enough that people can make informed consumer decisions about the differences between Battleborn and Overwatch, which is what started this whole abortion of a thread.

okay, but when people chime in with 'i never heard this term, what is it' the correct response isn't to call them an idiot and blame them for not being a ~true gamer.

no one did that. an anon came in and insisted because they didn't know, it was therefore a minute difference that no one would know.

maybe two or three comments in this whole thread are people genuinely asking about anything, the rest are people acting like you have to be a basement dwelling nerdlord to know what major game genres are.

you kind of do, tho

a normie might play a moba game but if asked to define moba 9 out of 10 of them are going to give you blank stares

idk what to tell you, anon. you seem to be imprinting your own ignorance onto a generalization of other people.

don't you have some girl gamer to be telling to go make a sandwich?

definitely projecting.

if you say so, mr. only-morons-don't-know-what-moba-means

if you went on the street and asked people "WHAT'S A MOBA" you'd get a lot of blank stares

if you asked them what an RPG was you'd have better luck

same with FPS

"MOBA" is a dumb, needless term heralded by elitists

random people on the street probably aren't looking to know what the difference between Overwatch and Battleborn is so they know which one they'd wanna buy.

when new stuff can't be defined by labels that already exist, you make new ones. not certain why you're so mad about this.

>random people on the street probably aren't looking to know what the difference between Overwatch and Battleborn is so they know which one they'd wanna buy.

THAT WAS LITERALLY THE FIRST POST HERE

YOU STARTED ARGUING ABOUT IT

WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID

1, the first post is lamenting that no one's talking about it. the second post is someone just saying they're the same type of game, when they're not. they weren't someone asking what the difference was, they just assumed there was none because idk why

2, that wasn't me

3, this abortion of a thread has gone on lone enough. we get it. you're mad someone got condescending over game shit. go to bed.

do you really think the majority of people care about the minute genre difference

all they see is "stylized multiplayer game with a million characters to play"

good fucking god, anon

that's the comment that started all of this

apparently neckbeard anons care a whole lot about the genre difference

which is NOT!!!!!!! minute!!!!!

filthy unwashed casual detected

yeah

and it's a stupid comment. they're not minute differences, whether you know the words for them or not, and people looking to buy either game are gonna care, whether they know the words or not.

the stupid thing isn't not knowing the genre, the stupid thing is assuming no one would know because you don't. are we done now?

lmao you said you're leaving and you're still here arguing that ~isn't not a minute difference it's special~

literally go back to reddit and scream about casuls and/or women so you can get your gold already

what exactly is the difference from your standard multiplayer fps and why is so hugely different that it requires turning a thread into an utter shitstorm

this is what i need to know

another anon posted why, but it's probably lost in this mess now.

> the stupid thing isn't not knowing the genre, the stupid thing is assuming no one would know because you don't.

no, the stupid thing is calling people stupid for not knowing the very technical term you do and assuming that because you do that everyone does

anon. you need to understand we come from the same place and i am still telling you you are wrong about this. "moba" is still not a widely used term outside of internet discussion boards. gods willing, it never will be because moba games represent all that is wrong with gamer culture, gamergate be damned. there is a stereotype of gamers as unpleasant, obsessed people with false airs of superiority about their amazing button-punching abilities and you are not helping that image

i'm not saying it's a widely used term. please stop putting arguments on me that I'm not making that some other jackass brought up in this thread, including calling people stupid for not knowing, which I never did.
