The Respect Thread:"Today's Forecast:100% chance of les mis parodies."*Fabulous innovative concepts*
[Mod edit: In order to ensure civil discussion regarding the Pizza/Ice Cream choice, I have created a Civil Character Discussion Megethread. In order to ensure there is no drama, I am locking all other threads about the choice - old and new alike. Please keep discussion in the Civil Character Discussion Megathread. Thanks! - Blind Sniper]
In the past couple of days things have got worse than before.
People on both sides of the Kenny/Jane debate have been throwing personal insults around.
In particular, I've noticed that whenever a thread about liking Jane is started, people go and attack them. And there are for some inexplicable reason about 4 threads on the first page about how bad Jane is when one is needed.
It's stifling.
Why do you have to call someone 'evil' (actual quote) for their opinion? Why do you have to say 'Lee hates your clementine' for it (that got ninety likes. Ninety.)? Why do you have to list reasons why someone on the forum (in this case me) is an 'unlikable', 'bad' person?
Why do you have to tell someone they are, and I quote (cover your ears kids): 'You are a fucking faggot, suck my dick' for deciding that they like a different ending to you?
What is the point of discussing if you just RIDICULE us?! Can't you just accept that we have a different opinion and DISCUSS it, instead of just telling them that they're bad people?
You're making a very bad appearance and environment for the forum, and I'm not planning on sticking around much longer if this continues (huzzah, right?)
Just...for the love of god, accept that ALL opinions about the ending are VALID, there is NO 'canon' or 'best' ending: it all depends on personal preference. This is an example of people saying there is one 'right ending': http://www.telltalegames.com/community/discussion/81909/zackscottgames-figures-out-the-right-choice-in-ep5
Please try to be civil. Don't create threads expressing how disappointed you are that Clem couldn't go over and help Kenny cut off Jane's tongue and feed it too her, watching her choke on it to death.
It makes people feel like they've failed just because they don't agree with the Kenny fans. Like they're bad people.
Please just...let it stop. Respect the fact that all endings are valid and all can be good.
We're forgetting what's important: Telltale did a wonderful job with the endings, and it's great that they catered to the diverse viewpoints people hold.
Thank you.
The time is upon us. The time to ship Jenny.
Vive la revolution!

I'm sorry. (╥﹏╥)
I'll try and be more reasonable.
It's okay, I haven't noticed you doing it.
Just some horrible pro-Kenny and pro-Jane fans. Although the horrible pro-Kenny fans get a lot of likes, which makes me think there are a number of them.
And you are the one bringing up this issue, really? facepalm unfollow thread
These forums arent that bad. Ive been on worse ones. Way worse.
I don't EVER resort to personal insults. I discuss the endings, sure. I condone that in the thread. But I never personally attack people.
By the way, leaving this thread just because I started it is pretty horrible.
Much like Kenny with people talking about him behind his back, I've come to expect it, but it still hurts.
I'm so sick of all the immaturity recently. Really starting to consider leaving.
The fact that there are worse ones doesn't stop this one from being bad at the moment.
This isn't helping.
Keep those kind of 'funny' jokes to another thread. This is a serious point.
Only the walking dead forum is toxic. The others like wolf among us and tales are fine and fun.
Let's be serious here they are.
Hey guys? I just wanted to know, how long did we know Jane?
I KNOW WHY YOU WANNA KNOW. YOU WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT JANE. OR SOME SHIT. BLARGH BLARGH FLAME WAR.
Christ.
Yep... this forum seems to be crumbling.
Flog has a really amazing point here.
If we keep fighting it's just going to make things worse, respect each others opinions, and give a calm response if you disagree with their opinion.
They are, the Wolf Among Us forum has always been awesome
Perhaps it's partly out of desperation as people know they have to wait a while till season 3?
Why thank you Jesse
Son, you have never seen toxic forums.
People always get more heated up immediately after episodes. It usually dies down, doesnt it?
I was the one that made a joke thread about praising you about destroying the "Kenny Ass-licking Foundation".
I think it got deleted out of the Kenny fan rage.
Why can't you guys just enjoy the Kenny vs Jane threads, you know discuss the topic and not get mad because an "immature" guy didn't agreed with the OP and decided to make a shitty joke instead.
Not being able to properly handle those comments and saying things like "oh the forum is crumbling" or "I'm so sick of all the immaturity recently. Really starting to consider leaving." seems more immature to me than actually spewing shitty comments every once in a while.
Nothing is crumbling you Momos.
It does, but I'm worried that the fact that there isn't another episode coming out for a long time may make this hatred stick around for 10x longer.
Seconded. Some people need to learn to respect other people's opinions.
Btw if I ever seemed like I was insulting someone, or being intolerant or anything I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be like that
Yep, spot on.
'What did you think about the hug in Jane's ending'
'YOU ONLY SEE THE HUG IF YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE AND KILL KENNY WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU YOU DISGUST ME'
Things need to change.
Yeah, I it did get deleted when I tried to reply to a post there.
nevertheless, it was welcomed
I've been on these forums from previous year and wow. I've never seen the forums in the state it is right now. Is that because of Kenny being determinant? hint hint. There's a few times I doubted was my ending right, seeing the Jane hate, but I finally decided I'm happy with what I got.
Last message: PEOPLE.
DO. NOT. FIGHT. OVER. DIFFERENT. OPINIONS.
At least everyone hates Mike, Bonnie and Arvo, so that's where I'm glad about the forums XD
There's only a certain amount we alone can do.
When an entire thread was created saying that if you shoot kenny Lee hates you, | I tried to do what you suggested. I engaged in civil discussion.
And where did it lead me? Being being given a list why people quote 'don't like' me.
And the frequency of these types of threads appearing is increasing. Yesterday someone made one including a gif of Jane being stabbed talking about how wonderful it is that they get to see Jane gargling for breath and seeing blood spurt over her chest.
Someone else made a post saying all Kenny supporters are psychopathic.
It is crumleing, because these things are getting more frequent and nearly impossible to deal with.
I've seen the bioware forums when it was announced that same sex romance was available for males.
I've seen some shit.
You now have my rescpect @Flog61, even though you agree, you sucked it in and didnt insult Kenny fans. Thank you
I'm sorry too, as I fear I acted intolerant to you before.
I am genuinely sorry.
Just relax, ignore the ones who "don't like you" and enjoy the ride. Come on don't tell me you didn't laughed when you read the "im glad to see character development, we saw jane develop from a living character to a dead one."
That is gold.
*whispers *
I think it might be for that reason but I didn't want to say because I'd just be accused of Kenny hate again
Haven't you got a wedding to be at? Walder Frey isn't a man to be kept waiting.
I agree but it feels kind of like a terrorist wanting to stop terror.
I don't resort to personal insulting, which is what the point of the thread is, so no, that's ridiculous.
Thanks for comparing me to a terrorist though, appreciate it.
Wait.
Hang on a second
YOU'RE the guy who listed reasons why I'm a 'dislikable' person!
When you didn't reply I thought I'd never be able to talk to you about that.
Hopefully you'll suck it up and actually respond this time!
So, hello there!
Why thank you telltalemaster, I respect you too
Am i the only one who think that some of these threads are actually pretty funny ? And that some "trolls" here are actually hilarious ?
Like that "Lemoncake" guy, he is funny IMO.
Kinda dark, but funny.
That was funny, but could be said about any dead character.
The rest of the thread was abhorrent.
And ignoring personal insults is easier said than done. Much so.
Trolling by being mean to others should never be considered funny.
Unless you're laughing at how stupid they were. Which isn't what was happening on the 'stabbing Jane for fun' thread.
