And if it's wrong, why is there STILL no post to clear up the ambiguity and prove it? But whatever. If you people don't want to learn from your own mistakes and choose to see my arguments in a strictly negative light then fine, be that way. I'll see myself out. |

--- Quote from: Kilgamayan on February 20, 2018, 02:50:10 AM ---I imagine I am upset for the same reasons that anyone else would be upset if the category they considered to be the most important one was so far behind so many other categories. :V It's not like I don't enjoy basically everything that was an option. (Honestly, I have a sneaking suspicious ZUN appreciates and agrees with the top result.) --- End quote --- Which category are you even pointing at? The way currently this post is, it is extremely subject to multiple assumptions. Plus, you're making assumptions yourself by saying "for the same reasons". How do you know that, for example if I would've been upset, it would've been the same reason? Neither you and I expressed this yet so wouldn't this make it an assumption on your end? Hence, to avoid such cases, I even asked you why, because I was genuinely interested and curious without making false assumptions myself. Also, did you miss this question or just didn't want to answer it? What ever the reason might be, I'll respect it. On topic generally: To me it feels people are taking both themselves and the results way too serious. Majority of the votes come from the Japanese fanbase, followed up by East Asia. The results speak clearly that there is a high attraction to the Music, Character, Setting and then obviously the derivative works. The votes from Europe and Americas are hardly significant which makes me wonder what you're all trying to prove or point out? I honestly cannot see the added value nor I can understand the silly personal attacks. |

--- Quote from: CyberAngel on February 21, 2018, 09:23:32 AM ---...How was my assumption "the worst possible interpretation", again? --- End quote --- Because you not only assumed my intention was "ugh fucking secondaries", you were so sure of it you actually replied to my post by arguing against the idea of "ugh fucking secondaries" instead of asking me to clarify without attaching any sort of assumptions to your post (like Helecopter did). Why would you so immediately and so strongly assume that my intention was "ugh fucking secondaries", and not, just as one of many possible examples, a Touhou social forum administrator expressing distress that "Social Interaction" came in dead last by a pretty wide margin? (Yes, I'm aware the demographics are different.) Helecopter: I didn't miss your post, I figured my response was clear and good enough. Honestly, I don't really know how to reword it to be clearer. :( I have mostly intentionally kept the category I am talking about ambiguous since it seemed more important in the aftermath of my post to demonstrate against the dangers of bad faith assumptions. A teachable moment, if you will. Anyway, my reasons for not elaborating initially were twofold: * I genuinely did not think my post would be such a lightning rod of discussion and incorrect assumptions; I had figured it innocuous enough that people would read it, either nod or shrug, and move on to more important things. It was blowing off distress steam more than making any sort of attempt to start a discussion. * That post was made at 7 AM on a Sunday while I was at KatsuCon and was facing ~12 hours of driving to head home later that day, so independent of the above, I was not exactly 100% conscious and focused on making a big deal out of things. :V I can give a much more elaborate explanation of where I was coming from with that post, but I don't honestly know when I'll have the time to do so. I shouldn't have even written this much right now. |

If you took that as an attack, well, then you're the one making groundless assumptions here. I mentioned that mostly just because that was a thing that stood out to me the most, and I figured you'd just correct me if my assumption was wrong. But hey, good job ignoring that it's not all about you and that my post did spark a discussion with more people on both sides. |
