Why does osu! have the most cringeworthy community to date?

I see what you're saying, but basing my opinion of the community on the minority of respectable users is unreasonable. It's like basing an opinion of the counter strike community on the respectable professional players alone. Every community has their hidden gems, but generalizing a community based on a minority is ridiculous.silmarilen wrote:

osu! is primarily a single player game. What's a better way to judge the community than by the global chat room? The majority of users do not even browse forums anyway.silmarilen wrote:

But the majority of users don't actually use #osu because it is cancer. All the somewhat respectable people stay away from it because of how bad it is.
You're still judging the game community based on a vocal minority.

How else am I supposed to judge the community? Should I try to have a conversation with every user on the user list and then go from there? I may be judging the community based on a vocal minority, but there is nothing else for me to base my opinion on. If pm chat logs were made public I bet we would see a lot of what occurs on #osu! (rping, ranting about being bad, bragging about ranks), and thank goodness they keep that to themselves.Mahogany wrote:

I don't mean to offend anyone, but the whole "couples" and "group" avatar thing that has been going on also makes me cringe. I press F9 in-game and receive an overdose of weeabooism for the day. I'm also overwhelmed by the cutesy stream overlays people have on their osu! livestreams. Is this just a phase in the lives of these individuals or what?

Collab avatars are just a really nice way of showing you're friends with someone. I really don't see the problem with it.Flaus wrote:

OP
Yes, #osu is cringeworthy.
The osu community in general, though, isn't.
Entirely different things.
TLDR: You're judging the #osu community, not the osu community.

If someone asks you to briefly describe the osu! community, what would you say? I'd say it's mainly composed of a bunch of 12 year old tryhard roleplaying weeaboos with anime avatars and guys pretending to be girls who obsess over PP, DT and AR10 while ranting about not being as good as cookiezi. I don't know about you, but that's pretty much my opinion of the osu! community at this point. This doesn't really include the mapping, taiko, o!m and ctb communities, just the osu! standard community.Mahogany wrote:

Ticker/chat moves too quick to follow (at least for me). I can barely make out a conversation. I don't think the community is terrible (most of the randoms you'll find in multi are nice ^_^). I wonder what has become of #english and #videogames o.oFlaus wrote:

Look at any big community, and I guarantee that you'll find plenty of unlikeable people on the surface.
Honestly, I've been active for long enough to know that the type of people you're seeing is a result of the type of game osu! is (aka the type of casual people it attracts), and the sheer size of the community (it wasn't this bad when it was less popular). What you see isn't at all representative of the community as a whole, but you just gotta accept that the ugly face doesn't represent the entire picture. The game has more community aspects than just the global chat, you know.

there's plenty of salt in this thread, i almost broke my leg by slipping on a grain
No matter what you all say, League of Legends is still the most horrendous community one could ever experience. There's a reason why it doesn't have its own built in VoIP. You think osu! is bad? Try again. CoD? Wouldn't even come close to being as cringeworthy. Hetalia? That's a different story altogether... League sucks
I think what you see represents the community if you don't count all the people who do nothing and don't talk at all as the community.YayMii wrote:

First you need to understand, osu! is way too big for a single community, you'll find smaller communities all over the place, for example the forums alone (the part im most familiar with) has several communities with their own mindsets and such. As example, the offtopic community is vastly different from the one over at G&R, same can be said for FG and the modders. Each has their own group and for the most part keep to themselfes.
You're judging all these groups based on what you see on the #osu community, dont you think thats unfair? I can gurantee you, almost nobody here regulary chats in #osu, so why would #osu be representative for us?
If you'd want to take a proper look in order to judge the osu! community as whole, you'd have to talk with people from the sepperate subcommunities. Ofcourse, you dont need to talk with EVERYONE, but randomly pick a few and you'll find the people and communities all rather different to each other.

Ok, for the last time (maybe), with the exception of a few decent forum users and players, the osu! standard community is pretty cringeworthy. I generally don't include the taiko, ctb, o!m, forums and mapping communities as being part of the osu! community because they just keep to themselves all the time. Since the osu! standard community makes up the majority of the osu! playerbase, I'm basing my opinion of the entire community on them. This is because they are the most active and influential community out of all the osu! sub-communities. Communities are not to be judged based on a minority of members, but by the majority.Granger wrote:

An individual's opinion of a community is built from what that person has seen and experienced from it. It's shaped by what has been made evident to the individual. There's a reason why the league of legends community is seen as the worst by many people, it's because the cancerous parts of the community are more evident than the good. If anyone has played Vindictus NA they would know that the game has a great community, in fact, probably one of the best online mmo communities out there. This is because the good parts of the community (helpful, friendly playerbase) are more evident than the bad (elitists).
I don't see why people are taking offense to this. I mean, if you know that you aren't part of the cringe-inducing playerbase then there's no reason.
you seem to like the word "cringe" a lot
also what you are doing is basically walking into a restaurant, ordering a meal, starting to eat it and then screaming WHY IS THIS PLACE SO SHIT at the top of your lungs in between bites of whatever meal you've got in front of you. the other patrons are looking at you like you're either completely fucking retarded, or offended that you're interrupting their meal with your caterwauling bullshit
please do expound upon what you mean by "cringe" so that i may continue asking you what you are doing about these problems other than complaining voraciously about them

#osu! makes me cringe because of the "12 year old tryhard roleplaying weeaboos with anime avatars and guys pretending to be girls who obsess over PP, DT and AR10 while ranting about not being as good as cookiezi.". The roleplaying, communicating though emojis, and blatant attention-seeking that occurs on #osu! is just so toxic to me and many others, and as a result good conversations rarely ever occur in #osu!. If only there was a chat channel where these sort of individuals can be separated from the respectable users, that would please me a bit.Ephemeral wrote:

And no, shitposting on off-topic isn't helping the issue at all, but I just can't help it. This doesn't even seem to be an issue to people based on the kind of replies I've been getting.
Why would it ever be an issue? You can close #osu, you know (Though I wish you could disable joining it on startup but I read it has something to do with bancho connectivity)

I'd like to think that, ideally, no one wants to see idiocy when they don't want to see idiocy. (or any idiocy they don't like/agree with for that matter)
You can avoid that if you want to in-game by not paying attention, to reiterate an earlier statement.
#osu channel has traditionally been the hub for any and all users, and I'm confident you remember not so long ago when that channel was mandatory and not given the option for closure.
You've spent what, 3 years here ? I'm sure you can deal with cringing from time to time.
On a side note, why not consider adding or approaching the users who've taken the time and given replies to this thread of yours ?

i only come to the forums when i'm in the mood for shitposts and the general musings of the community, in game i never use the chat channels or even talk to people really. i open the actual game to play, nothing else.
i dont even think my brain makes much of an association between the actual game and the forums, unless it's convenient [asking someone who has never played in any game mode why the fuck they're posting here]

How did this happen?
Update:Cringe.txtFirst 5 seconds after logging in:
I've been asking this for a while now.
Why osu! probably has a young player base, and also why it may have an annoying/cringey community at times.
Honestly, the only reason I can think of why osu! has a young player base, is most likely because anime is getting more and more popular over the years. Now, from what I've seen so far.. I can make a good guess that many of the younger people between the ages of 9-15 have been slowly but progressively growing in the anime community. Simply put, in this generation what with all the technology and everyone using internet, the majority of newcomers joining the anime community are between the ages of 9-15. (I would say that there is still a good amount of people around the ages of 17+ in the anime community)
As most people today who are either in highschool right now, or have graduated earlier. We all know that the children this generation are just more outright annoying than past generations. They try copying the personalities of some annoying persona from some popular person on the internet. By popular person, it could be from someone from a game like "Minecraft" or whatever else community is just trash. Sometimes the children this generation are just spoiled brats (Parents literally buy them like 2 consoles, a good computer, and a good amount of video games for each.) that never really seem to receive much discipline.
Okay, I know that the amount of discipline received through childhood most likely depends how you grew up and also the general area where you live. But honestly from statistics I'd say that kids this generation so far are more spoiled and are given less discipline than what I remember in the past, or have studied from the past generations before I was born.
You see, if we add in all the properties from above. It obviously shows that if many of those types of people like anime, they will eventually figure out about osu! from some kind of gaming forum or either from an in-game chat. Most likely a forum or in-game chat for some game that many people these days find their community horrible. Guess what, the people finding about osu! from those kind of communities, are joining our community. They came from an annoying meme filled community of degenerates.
Once those people join osu!, it's likely they'll spread their memes (Depending on the person, but yes toxicity too.) around the place. In a community where it was deemed "normal" to spread memes and talk with the intellect ten year old with missing letters in some words in another community, we know that at least some of them will come here.
The truly scary thing, is that when they do come join osu!. They will most likely have some other friends on other games, or either from Skype/Raidcall/forums that they will bring here. Mainly because their friends may have the same interests about anime. Which means that they will be bringing in more of the same people, when more of those types of people join. It can be kind of seen of it progressively growing like this: 1-2-4-8-16-32-64-etc
When you think about, that means many players between the ages of 9-15 will also be joining.
The only good thing I can think of, is that a change of place/or environment may help them a bit if they come here. But the true problem is that might not even help at all because they will most likely bring in more of the same people afterwards once they come here. Which to them, will make it look like the community is growing and it may or may not seem normal to them by how it behaves because of where they originally came from.
From my own experience, most people between the ages of 9-14 so far I've seen. Are around the levels of 1-36, I've actually seen someone who claimed they were fourteen years old and they were level fifty or something like that. Although, it wasn't like I could confirm their age anyway.
The reason that we have many registered users on this game, but only have very few of the player base actually play regularly. Is likely because of the difficulty of the game once starting hard, and then getting into insane then trying to add in some mods. It may make the game not too hard for the younger community in the game, depending on how serious they are with it. But they will most likely be attracted to other games and spend more time in those than osu!. In order for someone to actually be dedicated to osu!, they will use a chunk of their free time to learn and also fix what they need to work on to get better.
"Need to use a chunk of their time to learn, and also fix what they need to work on to get better. Especially when playing higher difficulty beatmaps with smaller circle size and higher bpm/ar."
That is mostly when those kids start to lose interest, or rather begin to slowly not the play the game anymore and start playing games that interest them more. This generally happens once they reach between the levels of 35-45, or maybe even earlier depending on how serious they were when first starting out.
Also the main reason of why the osu! community is slowly worsening due to the fact of the actual kind of people that are here currently. Let's be honest, the majority (Not exactly everyone here.) either are people who don't go to the outer world much. Or either have some form of social anxiety, or is using gaming as a way to escape their problems. The community just gets worse because the more of those kind of people that join, the community just looks to be "getting worse". Mainly because the people just don't have truly good in real life social interaction skills. It's funny I'm talking about all this when I actually know myself, that I just generally suck at social interactions in the real world and know that I probably contribute somehow to why the internet is looked down upon.
Ahh, it seems that I am just mainly rambling on and changing the topic randomly here and there for no reason. I might as well stop here and let you guys think up your own things on the matter.

In order for someone to actually be dedicated to osu!, they will use a chunk of their free time to learn and also fix what they need to work on to get better.
"Need to use a chunk of their time to learn, and also fix what they need to work on to get better. Especially when playing higher difficulty beatmaps with smaller circle size and higher bpm/ar."
That is mostly when those kids start to lose interest, or rather begin to slowly not the play the game anymore and start playing games that interest them more. This generally happens once they reach between the levels of 35-45, or maybe even earlier depending on how serious they were when first starting out.
Also the main reason of why the osu! community is slowly worsening due to the fact of the actual kind of people that are here currently. Let's be honest, the majority (Not exactly everyone here.) either are people who don't go to the outer world much. Or either have some form of social anxiety, or is using gaming as a way to escape their problems. The community just gets worse because the more of those kind of people that join, the community just looks to be "getting worse". Mainly because the people just don't have truly good in real life social interaction skills. It's funny I'm talking about all this when I actually know myself, that I just generally suck at social interactions in the real world and know that I probably contribute somehow to why the internet is looked down upon.
Ahh, it seems that I am just mainly rambling on and changing the topic randomly here and there for no reason. I might as well stop here and let you guys think up your own things on the matter.
Top quality post. ^

Why osu! probably has a young player base, and also why it may have an annoying/cringey community at times.
Honestly, the only reason I can think of why osu! has a young player base, is most likely because anime is getting more and more popular over the years. Now, from what I've seen so far.. I can make a good guess that many of the younger people between the ages of 9-15 have been slowly but progressively growing in the anime community. Simply put, in this generation what with all the technology and everyone using internet, the majority of newcomers joining the anime community are between the ages of 9-15. (I would say that there is still a good amount of people around the ages of 17+ in the anime community)
As most people today who are either in highschool right now, or have graduated earlier. We all know that the children this generation are just more outright annoying than past generations. They try copying the personalities of some annoying persona from some popular person on the internet. By popular person, it could be from someone from a game like "Minecraft" or whatever else community is just trash. Sometimes the children this generation are just spoiled brats (Parents literally buy them like 2 consoles, a good computer, and a good amount of video games for each.) that never really seem to receive much discipline.
Okay, I know that the amount of discipline received through childhood most likely depends how you grew up and also the general area where you live. But honestly from statistics I'd say that kids this generation so far are more spoiled and are given less discipline than what I remember in the past, or have studied from the past generations before I was born.
You see, if we add in all the properties from above. It obviously shows that if many of those types of people like anime, they will eventually figure out about osu! from some kind of gaming forum or either from an in-game chat. Most likely a forum or in-game chat for some game that many people these days find their community horrible. Guess what, the people finding about osu! from those kind of communities, are joining our community. They came from an annoying meme filled community of degenerates.
Once those people join osu!, it's likely they'll spread their memes (Depending on the person, but yes toxicity too.) around the place. In a community where it was deemed "normal" to spread memes and talk with the intellect ten year old with missing letters in some words in another community, we know that at least some of them will come here.
The truly scary thing, is that when they do come join osu!. They will most likely have some other friends on other games, or either from Skype/Raidcall/forums that they will bring here. Mainly because their friends may have the same interests about anime. Which means that they will be bringing in more of the same people, when more of those types of people join. It can be kind of seen of it progressively growing like this: 1-2-4-8-16-32-64-etc
When you think about, that means many players between the ages of 9-15 will also be joining.
The only good thing I can think of, is that a change of place/or environment may help them a bit if they come here. But the true problem is that might not even help at all because they will most likely bring in more of the same people afterwards once they come here. Which to them, will make it look like the community is growing and it may or may not seem normal to them by how it behaves because of where they originally came from.
From my own experience, most people between the ages of 9-14 so far I've seen. Are around the levels of 1-36, I've actually seen someone who claimed they were fourteen years old and they were level fifty or something like that. Although, it wasn't like I could confirm their age anyway.
The reason that we have many registered users on this game, but only have very few of the player base actually play regularly. Is likely because of the difficulty of the game once starting hard, and then getting into insane then trying to add in some mods. It may make the game not too hard for the younger community in the game, depending on how serious they are with it. But they will most likely be attracted to other games and spend more time in those than osu!. In order for someone to actually be dedicated to osu!, they will use a chunk of their free time to learn and also fix what they need to work on to get better.

Most people can agree that the current state of affairs is sad, but it doesn't take an oldfag to notice it. If anything, it's better to do your best and make some nice posts rather than reminisce about the past and get all bitter about it.
I said nothing about the current state of OT being better than the old state of OT. As you correctly pointed out, I have no idea how OT was back then. I can not say that I care much about how it was either, so your reply doesn't make any sense to me.Corin wrote:

Ephemeral was complaining, maybe rightfully so. What staggers me, is that he makes no attempt in being part of the counter-movement or whatever you want to call it. As he said, he has given up hope, so all hes doing now is sobbing about how the old times were better and talking low of the current times.
Frankly, I think this is a shitty attitude towards any given state of affairs.
Thats why I said, "be the new golden age yourself". Contribute, if you are interested in making this forum better. Don't stand by and cry, talking of lost hope and how everything used to be better.
I don't need knowledge of the old times to hold that view. Thanks to Brian for pointing things out as well, very much appreciated.

oldfriend syndrome is wildly applicable to this forum because for the first seven years of its life, it was literally a house of carefully executed inside jokes that MOST people silently assumed and understood correctly
thus it is strikingly disappointing that ye of the new generation are apparently incapable of doing this for yourselves
like does the word valhalla even mean anything to any of you anymore

It's become the stereotypical mentality to assume that Off-Topic is a shitstain and thus you are not expected to put in any decent thought to any action in here. There is no think before you post; there is no incentive to consider whether or not your post is worth reading. Moreover, there is nobody enforcing this.
It's just the path the new generation wishes to take. As mind numbingly boring as it is, there's nothing to be done about it.
