Wesker's Report - Canonicity Debate (or the Official "WTF Hiroki Kato!?" Thread)

[Alexia_Ashford]

I don't think it seems like he's brushing you off. What he's trying to say is that there is never really an excuse for all out spamming/trolling. "Ban News Bot, ban News Bot, he's a dick" is immature and not acceptable. If you wanna debate, fine, if you wanna argue, whatever but don't be suprised if someone reports it. Posting crap, calling other members annoying and a dick, insulting a mod (an anonymous mod whom Fruit Salad had no idea who DM was referring to).. that's not the fault of the thread, it's the user. We are all adults, and we should be able to exercise some level of self control.

This topic attracts the attention. If your mind is blown at obvious bait I can't help you there. But you seemed very attached to this topic, and even to the point of brushing me off.

I would like for this to get back on topic so can I ask why it matters how HUNK obtained the G-virus according to the report? It really doesn't. The fact is he got it. And it didn't amount to much since the company crashed and burned. Really it served no more than to have a minigame objective. When you think about it HUNK in a lot of ways is a lot like tofu. He might not look like tofu, or taste like tofu, but he certainly had the same appeal and character that amounts to about as much as tofu. You wouldn't have even really known the difference in playing a masked character with no personality to him or playing with a piece of tofu.

The whole idea that they're trying to make HUNK some important part of the next Resident Evil game shows how desperate they are. Using a character that has Boba Fett status and trying to give him some kind of role..... hmmm.....

Of course, and as I said it's not to say that it's News Bot's fault but the fact remains that his topic did attract such attention from a user.

I...if a user trolls, it's the fault of the thread? It shouldn't drawn there evil, slitted eye? My mind has been blown.

Alright, I've said it before and I'll say it again in ten minutes I suspect, but back on topic. If you wish to complain that people enjoying canon is an obsession, call for random bannings or insult folks, please find somewhere else to do it.

I think it is. Your body was given legs for a reason. And there have been cases where the lack of using them can do more harm than good to your body. There are people who choose not to use them and some who are unable to yet wish they could. It's amazing what people take for granted.

Is walking a necessity?

I mean, you could drive, ride a bike, rollerskate, skateboard, etc, to your destination.

[Smiley]

I like going for a walk and watch TV sometimes.
Not sure if the walk thing is an obsession, though.

You're confusing a necessity with an obsession.

You don't think the guy showing up in a thread, randomly demanding a member who hasn't done anything wrong be banned, being rude to other members and ignoring moderator instructions despite being asked several times not to, even point blank telling him all he needed to do not to be banned was not be a dick, might have more to do with being banned?

Of course, and as I said it's not to say that it's News Bot's fault but the fact remains that his topic did attract such attention from a user.

I mean if News Bot was taking what I said lightly then I'd think I was overestimating. But he seems pretty defensive even to the point of calling me a dick. I was afraid something like this might happen.

[Archelon]

So how about that Resident Evil canon?

Crazy stuff, huh?

Sometimes I even knit. But just smaller things, like socks and hats.

[Alexia_Ashford]

What you're doing is like shouting at a midget for being small.

[Darkmoon]

An obsession (some might say addiction) doesn't become a problem unless others get affected by it. And from what I've seen here your topic has lead to the actions of a user being banned and possibly more. Not suggesting it's your fault, but you seeking the truth has lead to this situation.

So having an obsession is always a bad thing? And it's not suggesting you have no life. But rather it's that you've worked it into your life. Even a portion of your life running your site and discussing in debates over it. I'm obsessed with chicken kiev to the point where I'm going to make my partner and her mother teach me how to cook it so I could spare them the expense of preparing it for me. Having it all the time might be considered a bad thing to people but I thoroughly enjoy it more than most foods. I imagine Resident Evil is your chicken kiev.

I myself want to prepare my own chicken kiev to leave others out of making it for me whenever I feel like it. I acknowledge my obsession as something more and that's the first step.

[News Bot]

Not even going to bother pointing out how moronic your post is, but calling it an "obsession" is a flat-out insult, no way around that. I guess Dot50Cal, Yama, cvxfreak, Project Omega, Prime Blue and so on are all obsessed? They've put in the same effort as I have and have done so for years before I ever even thought of running a website (which I didn't even start). I only really got into the story in general in 2006. You're just here to shit-stir, so please stop posting. We all do this because to us, it is entertainment. It is something we enjoy. A lot of us have our own websites about it, the same way there are fan-sites for Metal Gear Solid, Dead Space, Silent Hill and so on. Your Dexter example is a reflection only of how you don't care as much as other people about it or enjoy the same aspects as they do, because there are fans of Dexter that do indeed do all that stuff. Is every single webmaster of these kind of sites obsessed? To say that they are would point more to you being a dick than anything else. We all have lives outside of the Internet, you running your mouth practically saying we don't and then going all amateur psychologist and trying to examine the character of someone's Internet persona says more about you than us.

[Smiley]

Fascinating? I could see for some, but not essential need-to-know stuff. Amounts to about as much as finding out Jill likes strawberries. Regardless isn't Snow a sort of poster child to represent "Capcom gamers"? :/

Sure, it's something I do in my free time. Is that a bad thing? Some people cosplay at anime conventions, play board games, write reviews, make videos on YouTube. I write for a Biohazard website in some of my spare time. You make it sound like it's the only thing my life consists of which is, to be blunt, pretty stupid. I happen to enjoy the story and find it interesting and just plain fun. It's entertainment, nothing more. The fact that you simply don't enjoy it like other people does not give you the right to act snooty and holier-than-thou and start backhand insulting the people that do enjoy it.

I think it's more than just mere entertainment. You've dedicated a website and topics about it. I watch 'Dexter' when it comes on. I do not make a Dexter site and discuss aspects of the series from the books to the game to the television show.

You also seem to imply that I dislike it. It's not so much that it's me hating on the plot. There's just not much of a plot to hate. The characters are walking cliche's that fill those cliche's out to their fullest. And the story only serves as to move your player character in a scenario where they're pinned into fighting zombies and monsters. It's a game first and a story second. The story has to be sacrificed at the expense of the game play. That's why we have these scraps, scenarios, etc.

Nobody cares about your opinion in this topic, to be frank. If you want to bash the story of a video game and the people who enjoy it, go make a different topic for it. All you're doing here is derailing a topic. What you're doing is like shouting at a midget for being small. Your opinion in this topic is irrelevant and repeating it won't change that.

I think you care. At least enough to address me back. I'm not bashing you. I'm trying to prevent that sort of thing from happening based on your obsession. You should be thanking me. But if it means anything I do commend you for your service to fans out there like you. I might give you a holier than thou outlook but then again I wouldn't make a website as you did which upon after my accomplishments I stir up the pot by showcasing my knowledge while at the same time getting some answers. Now that is the fascinating aspect to your character.

[News Bot]

Poor soul. But I do wish to cover the grounds of a "canonicity debate" by delving into the matters of.... why it matters. And for that News Bot holds my answers firm.

We are after all striving for more knowledge on how a man that wears sunglasses at night could muck up something so trivial as to how a masked grunt managed to get hold of a virus.



So are you saying you haven't spent a fare share amount of man hours of your own time managing and piecing together the outline for a.....a videogame canon.

I was under the impression you had.
