I signed up to this website with the illusion that it was full of intellectual people with unbiased opinions who could understand the points of others opinions and not shoot them down everytime they stated their thoughts on a subject. I seem to have been mislead. Correct me if I am wrong. And don't just state something like "Fine then. You are wrong."

roflmao, who directed you here and what did they say

Word of advice, Don't take any post by us seriously.

[Painbringer]

If anything, NG has made my opinions quite neutral over time.

Not because people here are neutral or unbiased, but because they have such strong opposing views.

I'm trying to figure out how you ever came to that conclusion in the first place. Did you just sign up without knowing what this place actually is? Did one of your friends lead you here under that pretense? If so then what's wrong with him?

Good job for derailing the thread with crap.

Did this post really upset you that much?

If so, you should be thanking Newgrounds' users for helping you grow thicker skin.

You're taking people on the Internet too seriously. It's bad for your health.

[Lagerkapo]

Whoah man.

This is the internet here; Nothing is fair, unbiased or kind.

And you'll certainly find the legit few here, but you're going to have to trudge through a sea of bullshit.

[24901miles]

It's a mixture.

[Sodamachine]

This place can be pretty hostile, if you:

- like pewdiepie

- are a furry

- are a sonicfag

- use overused memes or just memes in general

- are a 12 year old

- listen to mainstream music

- are a hipster

- draw in MSpaint

- draw pictures in photoshop that look like they were drawn in MSpaint

- are racist

- are wriggle

- wear a fedora

- are euporic

No.

You can't blame every little grievance you have on the internet as "oh, you need thicker skin". That post you linked to calls his argument crap with no explanation, he's right to be annoyed.

But was it really serious enough to make the generalization that all of Newgrounds is like that, and to make a thread about it?

This is between him and the other poster. Not between him and all of Newgrounds.

"Unbiased opinions" is pretty much an oxymoron.

Also, this is the internet; you can't have an opinion without someone else thinking it smells like ass and getting all buttclenched over it. However, this isn't facebook or YouTube, so there's a vastly smaller amount of stupidity in the arguments that fo occur...well except when the noobs feed the trolls and end up making fools of themselves without realizing it. Just learn how to identify trolling and sarcasm and this place won't seem nearly as unforgiving. Also, we don't like neckbeards.

Not a droplet of conservatism there. But hey, I'm a stupid human being when it comes to international politics. Link me to a thread made by a conservative if you think you're right.

Actually, a pretty large amount of people on newgrounds are furries, they just don't talk about it

I know because I'm usually one of the first people they come to to talk about it

Whoops, I didn't see that one. So...
"(Obama) bashes the Republicans"? That person's mind lives in the past decade, I see.
You're right!

[Piper]

Well. Honestly I kind of got what I signed up for when I came here. Newgrounds has a very eclectic user base. There are several decent, well rounded, open minded and friendly folk here. Sure, quite a few of them like to play mind games, and sometimes you may find yourself cursing their names and clinching your fist in mental agony, but they are not what makes Newgrounds. Oh no. It's all of us that make Newgrounds. Don't let the meanie-faces represent Newgrounds. It's all up to you.

Alright, lemme rephrase that.

If you are a furry and bring it up very often (or spam furry porn, but only ma1achi does that really)

I am calm actually. I am also aware that the internet has it's fair share of idiots and trolls, but it doesn't mean I am not a bit disappointed though.

Stop trying to bring order to the chaos.

If people like you get their way, the internet will be ruined forever.
