Are the Kenny-haters just a REALLY vocal minority?

  • I completely agree, 60% seems spot on as an assessment :)

    But 40% is hardly a 'vocal minority', 40% is a very sizable chunk of people :)

  • Minority- the smaller number or part, especially a number that is less than half the whole number.

    So it actually is a minority.

    Jeez those two specific members jumping from one thread to another and spamming with their comments. Don't you get tired? We got your point and we totally respect it, now can you just stop the spam?

  • My husband shot Kenny and left Jane and he doesn't hate her, he was just disappointed with the hoax.

    Also, once again, 48% of players is NOT a vocal minority by any stretch of the imagination :p

    You know what? Considering that 30% didn't shoot Kenny, 16.5% are with Aj at Wellington and 13.5% with Kenny and AJ, that means almost no on

  • You can't say Kenny is insane tho.

    I don't think what that guy said was disrepectful by any means. That was just a thread where Kenny fans can actually feel for the man, and i was looking for that kind of thread when i finished the game. Know what i mean ?

    Plus, if you saw Kenny is ending, you can't just call him insane, that's just... Wrong. At least that's what i think.

  • I just still can't believe clem kills kenny execution style-ish after he kills jane. it's so sad, knowing what they've gone through.

  • I know it's 'technically' a minority, I did maths A-level so I'm not some kind of dyscalculiac, but when we talk about 'vocal minority' we really mean 'hardly any people making a lot of noise and thus warping how the situation is viewed', which isn't really applicable when 40% of people are in said 'minority'.

    I guess I suffer that way from being a linguist and not a scientist.

  • That's grim, I think killing Kenny and leaving Jane is a slightly more pleasant way to end up alone than having both Kenny and Jane dead :/

  • One thing I can certainly say though, is that Kenny has more fans than haters. I'v been looking through multiple playthroughs of the finale, and almost every video that included the Let's-Player shooting Kenny got massive downvotes (I'm german, and I looked through both english and german videos.) Hell, I even saw a vid of a very popular Let'sPlayer, who got more dislikes than likes for killing Kenny. On the other Hand, vids in which the Let's-Player let Kenny kill Jane received normal Feedback, no massive amount of hate. This goes to show that no matter what Youtuber's fanbase, way more people like Kenny, rather than despising him.

    I can say he's still got mental issues, which is really what the thread was about, saying he recovered from them all.

    I can't say he's insane at that specific point in time but what if Clem accidentally loses the baby etc.? He could easily regress.

    Assuming he is now perfectly fine, when he was not fine for one and a half years after losing his son and wife, and now lost his girlfriend, is more strange.

  • 40% isn't a vocal minority in my opinion.(Its close to 50-50). I consider 20-25% a vocal minority.(aka 1/5, 1/4...But 1/3 isn't a vocal minority either !)

    I guess it makes the diehard Kenny fans feel more secure? Same reason why some Kenny fans absolutely hated Luke in Episode 4, because he was a threat to Kenny's position as Clem's guardian, despite the fact that Luke never did anything unforgivably horrible.

  • That doesn't justify the persecution of Jane fans, nor saying the forums are only unpleasant because of them.

    But you can't say it certainly though. All you said is still guesswork. Maybe let's players are more likely to like Kenny than the general populous because they're more likely to have played season 1, for example.

  • She brought it upon herself and wanted to kill kenny intentionally. She admits it if you save her, what a fucking bitch. Also she could've said it was a joke and a test if she really wanted to live, not

    Clem, help!!1

    She's a stupid coward and admits her test was horrible. She said not to get involved anyways, yet cries for help. When she could've fucking told kenny it was a joke even after he kept asking her if it were.

    We all know kenny is losing it, but she wanted to play games and it sadly costed her life (in my p.t). She reap what she sowed.

  • Well... thinking that way, he did say that he don't trust himself to take care of clem, so...

    But that's not the point. What i was trying to say is that you Kenny haters should leave the Kenny threads alone. Same way that the Jane haters shoud leave her threads alone too.

    May i ask why you don't like Kenny ?

    Since Flog61 and his pals are trying to imply anybody who doesn't love Kenny or didn't save Kenny is targeted by this thread.

    OP and I are only talking about harcore Kenny haters.

    Not people who disagreed with Kenny's actions or disliked him, not even people who hate him as character (which is the right of anyone) but who still respect his presence and interest in the game, and are okay with the players who found the Kenny endings were personally best for them.

    We're talking about a margin within the community who are basically obsessed with Kenny and will jump at every single f*cking comment approving of Kenny's actions to let the author know how wrong he is and what a despicable character Kenny is. The ones who will not let a single positive comment towards Kenny go unpunished under their overzealous watch.

    If Flog61 felt immediately targeted, that's his problem, and it's probably because he recognized himself in my and OP's descriptions. But I will not tolerate his attempt at making rational members who happen to dislike/hate Kenny but behave as decent posters and are tolerating of others' opinions feel like they're being aimed at.

    And for the record : as a member of the community I find hardcore immature Kenny fans equally annoying.

  • She didn't want to kill kenny in the fight though.

    Like, the entire point of the hoax was to prove to clem that he's unstable. If she just wanted to kill him she's just kill him.

    She puts away her knife halfway through the fight, remember? And stops fighting? And then Kenny pushes her against the wall.

    Your other points are totally valid, but she wasn't trying to kill Kenny.

    And it wasn't a 'joke' it was a serious point. And you know what? She proved exactly what she was trying to: if clem loses the baby accidentally he will quite possibly attack her. Because his sanity rests on the baby.

  • Most people fell for Jane's trick. Then go and watch Kenny's ending and regret it.

    I completely agree, and apologise for my overreaction. Take my like.

    But I would like to say this: other threads HAVE been targeting ANYONE who dislikes Kenny or anyone who shot him and have been rather rude to them. Not necessarily you guys, you guys are pretty cool. But it IS an extant problem.

    We were working at cross purposes, as we had different definitions of what a 'Kenny Hater' is. As a result, I agree with the above. But I don't regret raising the issues, as they are present.

    I suggest you look at my post above, beginning with 'Regardless of whether', because it sums up why this thread seemed to me to be made in order to contribute to the looking down upon that Jane fans have undeservedly received.

    I deserve it, but they sure as hell don't, so leave them the hell alone.

    Good day.
