Brianna Wue @Spacekatgal Can we all just admit Zelda series ran out of innovation after Minich Cap? Innovate and let Zelda be the hero. #NintendoSwitchPresentation RETWEETS LIKES 178 9:06 PM- 12 Jan 2017 わ367 30 ·178 AlphaomegaSin? @AlphaOmegaSin Dear Brianna W I thought l'd respond to your complaints about LoZ Don't worry you can write them later since l'm male @Spacekatgal When all you complain about is the gender of the main character of a series and focus strictly on their gender then demand it to be changed since that would be progressive and innovative then I'm afraid to say you missed the point. Moreso by attacking an entire gender of individuals for their opions on the matter not realizing that it drenches your argument in hypocrisy Innovation isn't garnered by simply changing the gender of any one individual within a game to appease those who bitch the loudest with nothing to achieve. It's through experienced and creative people who manage to weave together a world that they get lost in, lore that they memorize, boss battles that they look forward to besting, puzzles that make them feel accomplished for figuring out, gameplay that manage to give the player a sense of control they never had before, freedom to enjoy the world the way they want Amazing that all these things have been experienced within the Legend of Zelda series for over three decades and going strong. But you managed to dilute the importance of all the hard work of those involved and a ravenous fanbse who's love for the series knows no bounds by focusing only on a characters gender, all for your own agenda no less. While you continue to find fault in everything where there was none others will create memories and another entry into a legacy will have been made LIKES 539 11:32 PM-12 Jan 2017 AlphaomegaSin Φ @AlphaOmegaSin If you think being progressive means changing the things YOU don't like within any art form Then I'm afraid l've got some bad news for you RETWEETS LIKES 11:34 PM-12 Jan 2017 ロ80 300 AlphaomegaSin Φ @AlphaOmegaSin Well then Here l'd thought that I had quite a few valid & well thought out points None the less, l'm not too shocked Brianna wu @Spacekatgal You are blocked from following @Spacekatgal and viewing @Spacekatgal's Tweets.

Beeing a Metalhead doesn't make you edgy.

Unpopular opinion here: I don't like AOS that much. While he does give some really good material and I like that he tries to be the voice of reason, IMO, he takes thing way too personally.
But I got to say, he does make good arguments about gaming and I see that he cares deeply about the culture but sometimes I think he must chill out a bit.
