Are the Kenny-haters just a REALLY vocal minority?

  • What you seem to call 'kenny haters' or 'jane haters' are what I would call people who want to discuss the choice.

    You shouldn't be prevented from commenting on a kenny thread if you think refusing to shoot him is wrong.

    When I go on those threads, I question specific facts people raise. As in, if they say 'I sided with Kenny because x', I think me saying 'hmm, is x definitely true?' is perfectly acceptable and not 'hating'. We have to be prepared to discuss out opinions. What the point in a forum if we don't?

    sigh as to why I don't like Kenny.....that's not true. I do like him, fundamentally. I just feel that the way he's treated certain characters is essentially bullying, and I just couldn't bear to have a bully around. Jane bullies Kenny too, but in retaliation, and once. Kenny...the way he treated Arvo made me feel genuinely sick.

    It's why I wish Kenny had just stayed in season 1. I liked him, and I didn't know he was capable of the, in my opinion, horrors he has committed in season 2.

    And there's my answer :)

    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

  • I kind of feel sorry for the true Kenny fans who are being represented by asshats like that...

    Yeah , that's just wrong. can you believe how desperate they were.

  • No they aren't.

    Kenny messed up here and he agrees that you need to put him down.

  • I agree :)

    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 !)

  • Hah yeah poor guys , they should speak their minds.I know as a true Kenny fan you do not creating hating threads like that

    Hell Ima Kenny fan and I chose Jane , and I see you're one too.

  • Wait, did they really do that, or was it just recently updated? Because when I first played it (Tuesday) I thought that it was 50-50

    If they did do that, it was a pretty stupid thing to do though. They're giving Kenny fans (the good ones) a bad name :(

    Wait so Kenny fans went on the site and edited it to make it look like Kenny was in the majority? That's just...sad

  • Someone made a thread about it, they did do it.

    Yeah it was 50% at first for me, but that always changes in a couple of days when more people have got round to playing it.

    It really does give the large number of awesome kenny fans a bad name, but then again, so does posting that Lee hates you if you kill Kenny.

  • Oh, grow up. Personal insults won't get you anywhere.

    There are raging fanboys for Kenny too and you know it, you're just trying to be rude.

    I read it and I agree with you.

    We need to stop thinking too much in terms of "Kenny fanboys" / "Kenny haters", something I confess I do too often myself because it's easier and convenient.

    We are passionated about different characters and it's great, an evidence that Telltale did an excellent job when all is said and done. I think sometimes we allow ourselves to ghettoize into cliques and take negative comments about characters we like as personal insults, as if the author of the comment was denying us the right to make the choices we made.

    There are such comments though, and that's what caused OP's thread and my initial post, but you're right, we only thought of those targeted at players loving Kenny, not thinking of your own frustration when such similar comments are directed at players who love Jane or Lilly or criticize Kenny.

    I hope we can learn to distinguish the passionated arguments where respect for other's opinions is still present, from those who simply deny the validity of some choices.

    I'm glad you reached your hand to me, I don't know if I would have done it first, but I gladly take it. I'm confident both of us will from now on try to calm down "our" respective troops each on our side. I will be more likely to appease a Kenny fan who gets carried away if I know you and others will do the same with over the top "Kenny haters".

    Kenny lovers, Jane lovers, we are above all united as Telltale's The Walking Dead lovers.

    (Are we Romeo and Juliet from the Kenny/Jane feud now ? :DD )

    I completely agree, and apologise for my overreaction. Take my like. But I would like to say this: other threads HAVE been targeting ANYO

  • Not really. I'm refering to the people that call ou "stupid" or "crazy" just because you admires an fictional character. And i just think that is a childish atitude.

    Just like Virgil_Caine said, i'm talking about the people that will punish you if you say something positive about Kenny.

    To be honest, you looked like one of them, but i guess i was wrong. You're pretty respectful :)

    Well, yeah. I can agree with that. Kenny can be a real dick, hotheaded, and stupid guy sometimes... but i still can't dislike, not anymore.

    I hated Kenny in S1 E4, now i love him. ):

    Anyway... i'm sorry i tried to argue with you. I'm from Brazil, and around here, people don't really respect eachother... I guess i got kinda used to it.

    People shouldn't question their choices or whether they should like a character or not.Majority,minority,who the fuck cares?!

    It's your choice.Choose what you want to choose,don't do it because the majority chose a different one(for example,I stayed at Wellington with the baby,and I saw that more people left with Kenny.But I was happy with my choice,so I didn't rewind)

    That said,be happy with your choices,'cuz there are no good or bad ones.

  • Also, if you let the timer run out, Jane invites the family in!

    ...well would you look at that

    I'm just ecstatic that Kenny didn't die in my play through, I'm on cloud nine guys!

  • Lee actually came back from the dead and killed Kenny for me. I didn't have to do it.

    Flog61 posted: »

    Regardless of whether we are the minority or not, that does NOT justify people saying 'Lee hates you if you shoot Kenny' or whatever. Tha

  • Going by the amount of people that shot Kenny is inaccurate, I had no personal grievances against him, even kinda liked him yet I still shot him as he was dangerous, he even admits this, not only that, I have a few Kenny fan friends and most of them shot him aswell.

    Regardless, this Forum has become a lot less fun due to the insane amount of arguing between the two sides.

  • You can shoot Kenny after he kills Jane too

    MrSolomon posted: »

    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

  • Woah,, seriously?!

    Good on ya Jane! :D

    poplee posted: »

    Actually it's 30.9% went with Kenny , and 46.8% ended up with Jane , and 22.3 are alone with the baby.

  • Typo XD , MY bad

  • Those 70% do you get from where...?

    The way I see it, 37% are with Kenny, 23% are alone and 17% are at Wellington.

    Only 23% are with Jane in the end.

    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!

  • I never said I was on a side Flog...

    And why did my comment get flagged as trolling? -_-

    I was only saying that this is getting ridiculous...

    Why not just close all of these threads?

  • Isn't there a few amount of kenny lovers? I swear the "Did you let Kenny kill Jane / Go with kenny" was like 20%-32%.

  • It is so disappointing that there are actually a multitude of players who are up in arms about Kenny's actions in the finale. The haters are worse than any of the craziest Kenny fans..

    Those 70% on the wiki are fake.

    Only 23% are with Jane lol.

    And 37% with Kenny, 17% at Wellington, 23% are alone.

    At least that's what I got when I played my game (I got about 16 or 17% for my Wellington ending). Everyone can edit the Wiki.

    was it really 70%? THAT MAKES THIS THREAD EVEN MORE HILARIOUS HAHA WTF WE'RE THE MAJORITY MY DRILLS CAN'T TAKE IT GUYS MY DRILLS

  • My Clem didn't kill him, but she couldn't stay with someone after what he did.

    Yeah, that's another reason why I think the Wellington/Leave Kenny ending is the ideal one (in my opinion, of course). Clem is safe in Wellington, but she's also safe from Kenny, while Kenny has achieved some degree of peace, even if he's walking over that horizon to his death. For TWD, it's about as "happy" an ending as you can get.

  • So if you don't love Kenny your loud and abrasive? That's not a biased point of view at all.

  • im with kenny till the end

  • How? I take issue with the idea that people are supposed to kiss Kenny's butt for some reason. The reason I don't like Kenny is because of the things he has done through two seasons and I don't feel like I shouldn't be able to say that.

  • Lee rage kills some guy pre-apocolypse because he was nailing his wife and we all love Lee. Kenny attempts to rage kill Jane post-apocolypse after he suspects her of killing a baby and people hate Kenny.

    This makes no sense to me at all.

  • Yeah...unfortunately, in my original run I left him before we got to Wellington. So I was only greeted with a half-assed pseudo-ending, instead of the happy one. Fixed in my rewind.

  • You sure as heck didn't hear that from me and I bet anyone who did say that didn't actually do it.

    Feeling targeted, Flog61 ? I never mentioned you in particular, but ... Seems like I hit a nerve. "they said they wouldn't play if kenny returned" - never happened on this forum Oh, yes it did, I used to see these a lot before S2e2.

  • edited August 2014

    It makes perfect sense when you see Kenny trying with all his might to stab her to death after we've seen him kill several people already and go into violent rages. We didn't see any of that with Lee.

  • Don't get me wrong, I can understand people taking issue with a couple of things that Kenny has done. But there are too many people out there that hate him no matter what he does, even if it doesn't make any logical sense.

  • Trying to stab her when he was fighting for his life because Jane had escalated the fight into a battle to the death..

    We never see Kenny kill anyone else, not in the context that you're talking about.

  • I am biased here.

    I have a younger brother and sister who were babies while I was in my teens and I would lose my $hit like Kenny if I thought someone had harmed them in anyway even if it was an accident... add on a post-apocolyptic setting to that mix.... all roads would lead to a brain implosion for me.
