I'll cheer for my team and be happy if it wins, but I don't need to denigrate the opposition. They were doxxing people on twitter that were supporting Camilla. Getting their personal information and making it public all because they supported a character they didn't like. 2 minutes ago, JJ48 said: Unfortunately that's pretty much every fanbase. Just please keep in mind that the people who do such things don't represent all, or even most, of a character's fans. Of course. I was just still very surprised to see that behavior come out of the FE fanbase, especially of the older games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book Bro Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Glad to see Ike win this! Hoping for some fixes to the format/system for next time so we can have an enjoyable gauntlet without everyone shitting on each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybrosion Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Sorry Camilla, but you don't get to steal two wins. Though thanks again for taking Lyn down with you. At any rate, my opinion on the multiplier still stands and hope that maybe the salt from Lyn's fans will be enough to get IS to seriously consider axing it.

I just hope the next batch of characters for the next gauntlet aren't of the super popular kind. It's making some of them more arrogant and smug, sure, the same way that any character's victory would make some of the fans more arrogant and smug. It's also making many fans simply happy, without arrogance or smugness. What's your point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just say one is worse than the other when it just bad as them. 10 minutes ago, Alkaid said: And now we've seen the dark side of some fanbases too, which was kinda sad. That nasty part of the Lyn fanbase coming out with that stuff on twitter was pretty crazy. I wouldn't say it's unwarranted but it sure as hell it's over reactive.

Fire Emblem Fan Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Well now that this gauntlet is over, I'm dreading some things. 1: As noted, Ike fans are going to get smug(ger) and (even more) arrogant. 2: Because of the FUCKING IDIOCY of certain Lyn fans during that disgusting BS they pulled on Twitter with doxxing people and what-not, people will now just assume "ew Lyn fan they must be a nasty person." Good going, idiots. 3: Because of #2, Lyn will likely not be advertised by IS as much as she should be, despite being up there with Ike as one of the series' most popular characters, and still having fans who didn't turn insane and dox people.

People for the most part just suck singling out a single fanbase doesn't change that. Though to be fair the size of it certainly makes that stuff more common. A gauntlet with characters this popular was never a good Idea because you see the bad side of every fanbase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means what I said in the previous post. They got a hold of personal information (address, etc) and made it public to scare/threaten the targeted people. And in this case, all in the name of a contest in a mobile game. It was just kinda messed up some people went that far over something so stupid.

predator_21476 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Popularity contests are always like this. I wish people wouldn't get so competitive about them hopefully they don't do a gauntlet with characters this popular again because this was ridiculous from every group involved. Regardless I am happy that Ike won it could've been more interesting with Ike vs. Lyn. But I feel like that would've caused more salt in the end with two of the most popular characters in the game going head to head. Good job to every team involved but p;ease stop taking this so seriously just have fun with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief. @predator_21476 The more..."popular" characters tend to have more of those...err, how should I say this..."toxic" people...for a lack of a better term. @Zangetsu I never said that one was worse than the other; all are bad to some extent. For the moment, a noticeable and very vocal part of the Ike fanbase is being extra arrogant and smug. It should calm down after a week or so.

I guess everyone expected Ike to win anyway, and he did, and most of team Camilla (including myself) were hopeful to pull it off, but knew it wasn't likely anyway.

eclipse Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 6 minutes ago, Zangetsu said: You mean people hacking into their account? Doxxing is a bit more than that. I know you as "Zangetsu" - I have no idea what your real name is, where you live, who you're related to, etc., nor do I really care. When you're doxxed, that means that "Zangetsu" is (insert you name here) who lives in (insert your home address here) and can be contacted at (insert your phone number here). People have received death threats via phone before. People related to doxxed people have received similar things. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's bad, and is very much not allowed on SF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
