Are the Kenny-haters just a REALLY vocal minority?

I haven't found genuine anti-Kenny sentiment anywhere outside of this forum, which makes me wonder if the fans who are opposed to the character simply compensate for their small numbers by being twice as loud and abrasive.

They've been granted a chance to kill Kenny for good, but even a determinant death isn't enough. Nothing other than a random, appropriately "pointless" demise like Luke's would appease them.

For those who think Telltale lavished too much attention on Kenny, I'd argue that Telltale put Kenny through the worst of ANY of the characters simply by keeping him alive in this harsh world. But season 2 has officially wrapped, and the haters are still baying for his blood.

I'll probably quit the forum before too long, at least until season 3 begins, because all this bile is wearing me down.

    The people you're talking about could never get over the fact Kenny returned for season 2 at all. They were the same who were warning Telltale they wouldn't play if Kenny returned, in an obvious attempt at blackmailing Telltale into obeying their will.

    I feel kinda sorry for them, their hatred for this character must have partly ruined their gaming experience. The very sight of him made them sick because they didn't want this character to be back, and that's why now they resort to accuse Telltale of bad writing or favoritism.

    Now all they've got is their little anti-Kenny crusade and the energy they spend on preying at every comment praising Kenny, the lengths they go to try to twist and turn even his objectively redeeming qualities into reasons why people should actually despise him, it's quite amazing.

  • Sorry, you're saying that kenny HATERS are really vocal? Kenny FANS are incredibly vocal. Like the thread that says Lee hates your Clem if you don't side with Kenny at the final choice.

  • A very vocal minority.

  • If nearly 70% of players is a minority you need to claim your Nobel prize for changing the face of mathematics as we know it!

  • Probably. I think they're just vocal because they're mad that other people like a character they don't like.

    Guys sh this is clearly an ironic conceptual introversion of people saying that Kenny fans are just a very vocal minority that use the forum as their gang hideout

    Either that or they're so stupid that they don't notice that about a third to a half of people side against Kenny which is hardly a tiny minority and they just want to pretend they're in the vast majority because humans are biologically programmed to feel comforted by that

    But I like to see the best in real people, so I'm going with my 'Oh you' comment above.

  • Kenny rules :P

    You're all missing the point of this ironic inversion, it's a crafty reversion of our suggestion that kenny fans here are a vocal minority

    Do you base this on the numbers of who killed Kenny and who not? If so, I must point out to you that it doesn't tell anything about those people being Kenny-haters. I know that even some fans of his chose to shoot him and then felt like shit after doing it. There's other reasons to shoot him than just hating him you know.

  • Why like or hate Kenny and Jane? They're already marked for death.

    Kenny pissed in Jane's cereal so she leaves the baby and then when you shoot Kenny, she says "he was never in any danger."

    Bullshit, you left him in a car while a snow storm is going on. That's not danger?

    Kenny made Jane mad, watch out Kenny, you wouldn't like Jane when she angry.

    Kenny may be selfish too, but Jane wanted Clem on her side so bad! So fuck Kenny! Leave him to rot just so Jane can replace Jaime.

    The same can be said for Kenny, Duck is replaced with Clem and AJ. But Kenny pretty much just wants Clem and Alvie to be safe, and that makes him alright.

    Jane kills life long friends just to prove a point and to replace Jaime.

    More like Luke gets replaced with Jane and the episode was re wrote just for a stupid plot twist. (just a speculation no fact)

    Jane and Kenny are what Carlos would say "bad guys"

    Kenny redeemed himself IMO. Jane wants to leave a family of three to die just for the safety of her and Claime.

    In all seriousness, this genuinely is a joke right? You guys do realise that only 50% of players stayed with Kenny? Which hardly makes us

  • I know a lot of Kenny fans who killed Kenny after letting him kill Jane.A lot of people were just tired of him or just wanted Clem to be alone with AJ :) .Kenny haters are vocal minority if you are based on the internet(like forum)But the CURRENTLY status show 69% shot Kenny

    Flog61 posted: »

  • Yep. Nearly 70% shot Kenny and just over 46% ended by staying with Jane.

    You understand that 48% of players shot Kenny?

    Please tell me you're joking, that would make this thread even more hilarious. If not, it just makes it kinda sad.

  • Although I really respected Kenny for what he does in his endings, I don't like the message being portrayed by his character here. The most emotionally satisfying and arguably "happiest" ending requires the player to stick with a man who himself thinks that he should probably be put down for becoming the monster that he is. It doesn't matter that he killed people out of bloodlust or tore the group apart with his obsession. Stick with him. That's the only way to reach safety.

    "The gods love to reward a fool." seems an appropriate phrase here.

  • One person laughing at their joke, trying to pretend we're a tiny fragment of people and they're much more bigger and much more important, proves that we ARE a vocal minority?

    Uh, no, no it doesn't :)

    Well I play on XBox 360 and the stats there showed 51% let Kenny kill Jane. So... The Xbox players are the minority I guess :P

    I didn't.

    And of course you hit a nerve, I feel annoyed when someone tries to imply our opinions are inconsequential.

  • No, i'm talking about the "anti-Kenny cruzade" thingy.

    Don't mean to be rude or anything, but you're EVERYWHERE saying bad things about Ken. And how he is a "bad guy" and blá blá blá...
