Misaimed Fandom/Web Original: Difference between revisions

** Somewhat related, Lindsay has expressed annoyance that many fanboys seem to think [[The Nostalgia Chick]] is a "[[Closer to Earth|good person]]" when she's really a fucked up bitch with an [[Inferiority Superiority Complex]].

* Game reviews by [http://www.youtube.com/user/IGSRJ IGSRJ], which serve as dual Irate Gamer parodies/[[The Angry Video Game Nerd|AVGN]] tributes (though [http://www.youtube.com/user/FFL2and3rocks Third Rate Gamer] does a better job at the parody part), not only include horrible games, but also games generally believed to be ''the best of all time'', including ''[[Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' and ''[[Duke Nukem|Duke Nukem 3D]]''. He does a well enough job at [[Accentuate the Negative|Accentuating The Negative]] that reading the comments reveals that many viewers consistently either bitch about how wrong IGSRJ is, or more stupidly, ''agree'' with his arguments.

* Similar to the above examples, many people actually assume that because they find Yahtzee so funny, he is actually the Word of God and that the games he reviews are genuinely crappy. Never mind the fact that there is a ''huge'' [[Bias Steamroller]] on there, and how he is deliberately trying to [[Accentuate the Negative]]. Many of his reviews are just fixating on one thing that bugged him or attacking the fans. This is especially true with [[JRPG|JRPGs]] and Fighter games, where Yahtzee deliberately insists that he really doesn't know that much ''about'' them and didn't care about fighting games, yet played 'em anyways, acted like he knew everything, said ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' was an okay game, and most of his ''Brawl'' review was pretty much insulting [[Fan Dumb]]. Unfortunately, if you go to the Escapist Forum, you'll find all sorts of people who claim that they were glad they didn't get a game Yahtzee just savaged despite that he said plenty of positive things bout it (Especially ''[[BioShock (series)]]''), insist that all fighters and [[RPG|RPGs]] are "Crap" despite proudly admitting [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch|having never played one in their lives]].

** Yahtzee himself has said that he exaggerates the flaws for comedic value, and that he 'praises by exception'. Anything he doesn't mention is fine or at least average, while if he takes the time to mention something's good in the review, he thought it was really good. He's also admitted his prejudices and that what he likes or hates may be the opposite for other people. Above all he just wants people to think for themselves and demand better than 'average' from developers.
