You know what? I'm fucking tired of this shit. I'm tired of oldfags shitting on newfags in an attempt to make their petty lives seem more important than what they really are. This is the reason I stopped playing Hearthstone and the reason I stopped using reddit. They are both so circlejerky and are unfriendly to newcomers, and I eventually got fed up with their shit. The difference in this community is that they are at least remotely willing to let new people into their circlejerk.

Stop labeling all newfags as cancer. Some of them are, but you shouldn't apply the term like a blanket, covering anyone who hasn't been here for two years or more. Without new people a community dies, I don't even have to mention tuuba to you all so you'll understand what I'm talking about. Stop having this "patriarchal" attitude that you all have. Just because you have wasted five fucking years of your life on this stupid forum doesn't mean you're better than someone who signed up last year.

...uh

I just mentioned that the thread had a different tone since it had more 'oldfags', wasn't intending to shit on anyone

I think the reason older users hate newer users is because of the age difference. In a game like osu, new players are usually young (13-15 years old) so if you joined this community 5 or 6 years ago, even if you were 13 at the time you'd be an adult right now which means in general you'll be more mature than people new to the game. That's why the usually childish behavior of newcomers annoys old members of the community.

Also, you're not the only part of the problem. It's all the regulars of this thread, the oldfags. I intended to post something like this when the discussion was up about a week ago, but I couldn't.

...but you're perfectly fine with doing the reverse?

Definitely reading too much into what I said. Unlike a lot of people, I'm not that overly nostalgic about how OT used to be.

I understand that you're just taking the opportunity to have this discussion now since you didn't (want to?) earlier, though.

I never did that. I said the regulars of this thread. I can point out many people who are oldfags but at least tolerate newfags. abraker and levesterz are prime examples.

i can prove to you that newfags are the problem!

assuming that the average age at which osu (and consequentially the forums) get discovered, you can expect new members to be much younger on average than people that have been here for 4 years.


When Blue Dragon found this place, he was 10 years old. Now he's 19 years old. When was he more cancerous, as a newfag or as an oldfag?

Older people tend to be less cancerous, you kids are the worst. Newfags are usually between 13 and 17 year olds. So there you go.

OLDFAGS ARE LESS CANCEROUS THAN NEWFAGS BECAUSE OLDFAGS ARE OLDER ON AVERAGE



(in all honesty, i don't care. Just don't be a dick)

Also, something interesting is that everyone talks about how convincing people isn't necessarily a matter of a good argument. While I agree that good, consistent, logical arguments aren't necessary to change people's opinions, and it's probably more effective to appeal to their emotion or to be a dominant social group, I REALLY detest that kind of way of changing people's opinions. I think that logical, consistent arguments are so important/valuable that I only really want to use those when it comes to 'convincing' people, and I feel like anything else is just cheap and... well, gross, honestly.

It reminds me of something they showed on the news recently, where they interviewed someone who ran a twitter account discussing Corbyn and May's clothing (UK elections). They said "While in a perfect world people would vote only on policies, we're embracing the reality that people care more about populism, and the personality of the person being voted for! So we feel that this kind of thing is important in the modern political landscape."

Things like that honestly make me *sick*. I have a massive distate for anything that isn't relatively emotionally-disconnected rationality when it comes to politics, I guess.
