Meta - Standard Voting PSA: Stop Insulting The Competition.

Too many times in this sub have I seen posts that put the other side down.

For example: "I hate (thing) and if you disagree you're fucking retarded."

While obviously exaggerated, my point still stands. It's perfectly okay if you hate (thing). It's NOT okay to tell people to go fuck themselves if they disagree.

Believe it or not, if you insult someone, they'll probably not want to listen to you.

TL;DR, Don't be an asshole.

Guy from the post here: I bought the game without a dislike of pixelated games. That's what made me realize I hated pixelated games

But why express your opinion in such an extreme way? Wouldn't a softer tone suffice as well? Honest question

To show that I don't like the games. A lot of people (not in the comments but irl) have been like "Oh you haven't tried the right pixelated game" so a more aggressive tone is required to stop recurring: "Have you tried X???"

No, you don't need an aggressive approach. Having an aggressive approach just shows how immature you are. You could calmly explain why you don't like the graphics of that specific game. Don't unnecessarily be a dick.

I'm not. I'm not even sure if you read the above, I've heard literally all the pixelated game recommendations so it's tiring for me to reply: No I have played it and I didn't like it because of the obnoxiously large pixels.

"So a more aggressive tone is required" it's not nice to lie through your teeth. If they bug you so much then don't play and don't talk about them. Even then you cited Terraria as one but that game's pixels aren't that big.
