I just want to rage slightly. Just this one time.

I AM HERE TO DISCUSS THE EVENTS OF A FICTIONAL SERIES TAKE YOUR PRAISE AND CRITICISM SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!... Rage....

That was fun.

Okay but really, I guess it's okay for people to say they like or dislike an entry and discuss all of the video's technical aspects in it's appropriate thread, but I feel like we don't talk about what actually happens in the video in-game enough. Then again, I guess there hasn't been a lot to discuss lately (or so I've heard).

Perhaps, but the second statement is worded as if it were fact. It does not indicate that it is the speaker's opinion.

I'm reminded of that one Maddox comic.

"Well that's just your opinion!"
"No shit, who else's would it be?"

Or something like that. I dunno, I don't think people are trying to pass off their opinion as fact by not specifying that it's their opinion. I mean, if a person says something, and it's not a fact, then it's obviously just their opinion, regardless of whether or not they think it's a fact themselves.

You know, unfiction... There was a time I enjoyed visiting you. We would discuss entries and discover codes and whatnot. But then people started complaining about the quality of the acting and the editing... At firstly was simply mocking Jay's ninja skills, but then it became "this entry was just filler!" And "troys editing skills suck!". I don't even bother reading the discussion threads anymore. Guys, I'm not even raging, and I'm sorry. I'm just sad. I miss you, unfiction. The old you.

9 times out of 10, it can be assumed that someone who "phrases their opinion as fact" is merely trying to make their argument sound strong & defensible. Yes, this makes it sound less like an argument & more like a declarative statement. This is a rhetorical paradox, I know, but I don't think the way to deal with it is to accuse them of trying to make you think that their opinion is fact. It probably isn't what they're doing.

And frankly, I think a lot of you are making way too damn big of a deal about the complaining. Is this the only series you talk about on the internet? I hope so, because I don't think you'd be able to handle a lot of more popular, more controversial things.
