Why someone might hate you for liking something they hate. The great Marmite debate.

[Raven]

First off, (just in case you don’t know what Marmite is), Marmite is a spread with a distinct flavour that tends to evoke strong reactions from people.

Some people dislike or even hate it due to its intense taste, which is derived from its main ingredients - yeast extract and various spices.

Because people's taste preferences vary widely, what one person finds delicious, another might find repulsive. Also, cultural factors can play a role in people's attitudes toward Marmite. In some regions, Marmite is worshiped as a gourmet treat, while in others, it's unknown or considered an acquired taste. It’s a bit like the herb coriander, aprox. 50%v of the world population find it tastes soapy, 50% swear it enhances nearly everything it’s added to., and, just like Marmite and Starfield, never the twain shall meet, because it is impossible to experience the other point of view. Therefore, I hate Marmite, but you like Marmite so you must be some sort of crazy and I therefore hate you because I can never understand why you like Marmite.

I dont hate people who dont like the same things I do.

I have nothing but disdain for people who twist a narrative to justify their intolerance..

Big difference.

My best friend loves Runescape, I think Runescape is nothing less than unpaid employment and it's gotten in the way of our friendship more then once. I could go on a rant about why I think Runescape is the worst thing since Surströmming on toast but I think you get that I hate it.

Just because it literally makes me seethe just thinking about it doesn't mean I hate my friend because he likes it. I hate the game and the genre but not the person playing it even if they sometimes annoy me by ghosting me for a week or two when the subscription token crunch hits.

Edit: Basically if somebody said "Oh I love running across the barren map in Starfield for ten or twenty minutes to get to the other side" I might argue with them but I won't hate them for their preferences

Right-wingers embrace a "live and let live" policy, but they might say you should go to church. But that's not violent in any way.

Libertarians want complete freedom to do what they want, so they don't hate anybody for what they like or dislike, it's part of their mantra.

left-wingers on the other hand INSIST we all think the same way or there will be violence. They don't even try to hide it anymore.

This is the funniest, most abjectly absurd thing I have read in awhile.

And that is something.

But I do appreciate you illustrating my previous point so brilliantly.

Is that how some people, who enjoy Starfield, think of others who disliked the experience? That they're hated by others because of their disposition to the game?

*Tastes Marmite* I hate a contingent of people now. /s

[HondoXP]

Honestly I'm frustrated with SF for so many technical reasons but that does not imply I don't like people because they don't share my opinions.
I generally just don't like people. So me not liking you and having a differance of opinion is just a coincidence.

That's exactly right!

If you're ever bored go through some of the posts from shortly after the game was released and you'll see the seething anger from players who liked SF.

They couldn't stand anyone bashing it for any reason.
It's very entertaining haha!

That is one of the most ironic things I've read in here.

You can just browse through whatever the first few pages has lol. There's no shortage of those posts since the game's launch.

I pull up to a Mcdonalds drivethrough on a near daily basis and try to order a whopper; they look at me funny for some reason.
No matter how hard I plead my case and demand to speak to the manager, they will not sell me one!! WTF
Then I usually step inside and make life miserable for all the patrons enjoying their big Mac's! Most of them ignore me so eventually I sit down and write a scathing letter to the manager!!

That never gets me anywhere( but its time well spent! and the burger king is tooo far a drive) so I rechannel my aggression in the form of a letter( its my right) to one of my favourite bands, Opeth, and demand that they go back to singing deathly cookie monster growls because thats what me and everyone else truly wants to hear them do! Right?!
Because its my vision that truly counts and not the mindless dudes that create the music!!
Only then will I leave the establishment to be back all the earlier the next day to continue my daily vigil because after doing this for soo many years....well I simply dont know what else to do anymore

But why even argue? You may as well tell people they are dumb for loving their spouse because you think your's is better...

I'm far from left-wing, but your view of "left-wingers" is wildly ironic because most left-wingers think the right-wing is restricting freedom of expression. So, left-wingers think YOU are the one who says everyone has to think like you do.
The real solution is to stop being bipartisan clowns and stop telling people what they can't believe. The liberal side wants everyone to have freedom to pursue their beliefs and wants everyone to agree that everyone should be able to pursue their own beliefs. Coincidentally, that's one of the main purposes of the US constitution. The conservative side wants to believe what they believe, but simultaneously don't want the liberal side to have the same option. That's super weird. Let people eat marmite.

That is the narrative I speak of, and its completely wrong haha!!
The gaslighting from the left has reached an all time high and people are sick of it.

It's the only reason Trump is so popular.

You're not making any sense. The left wants EVERYONE to be able to believe what anyone wants to believe. The RIGHT wants to believe what The RIGHT wants to believe, but doesn't want the left to be able to believe what they want to believe... Do you see how one of those belief systems benefits everyone and the other only benefits some people?
On the left there are people eating marmite and there are people eating peanut butter. On the right there are only people eating peanut butter. The left thinks people on the left AND right should be able to eat whatever they want. On the right people only want to eat peanut butter and the left is fine with that. Unfortunately, the right doesn't want anyone on the right or left to eat anything other than peanut butter.
Let people eat what they want.
If you want to play starfield, play it. If you don't want to play starfield, don't play it. Don't tell people not to play starfield.
I want to play starfield, but I'm not telling other people that they should play starfield. Play whatever you want, but don't tell me not to play starfield... and don't tell me you're better than me because you don't play starfield.
The left isn't trying to force anyone to believe what they believe, but they are trying to force the system to ALLOW anyone to believe what they believe. They aren't trying to stop you from believing what you believe.
Again, I'm far away from being left-wing, and I love many ideals from both sides and other non-bipartisan systems, but viewing things from the outside makes it very obvious that one side wants everyone to be able to choose to believe anything they want, but the other side wants people to only be able to choose SOME things to believe in and nothing outside of that. It's pretty weird.
Let the people eat marmite. Don't be weird. The gas lighting comes from within echo chambers. Listen to people from outside the system.

[VIDEO GAMES!! AHHHHHHH!]

tf is wrong with these forums, bad game is bad on both ends of the political spectrum
