Those people
do exist. I'm not saying they're the majority, nor even necessarily that there are more of them than there are of stalwart defenders of Bones and The Manor, but while a lot of people on here offer fair and legitimate criticisms, there is a strong anti-Bones presence on here.
I am reminded of a short while ago, when
I tried to assume a diplomatic stance on the subject when Bones put out the teaser for the reworked Martha scene. I wasn't even overtly positive or defensive, yet had to
defend myself until I decided
I didn't care anymore as the reactions only got more and more negative. It wasn't even me specifically being targeted, but rather Bones with me as a proxy, but even I felt a little overwhelmed with how fiercely a call for fairness was being resisted.
Honestly, I think the anti-Bones presence is mostly just shitposting and the doubt of improvement or progress that people mistake for hate. Best example is the new people that come here and defend Bones but don't read the last 100 pages of the stuff that happened until someone gives context. And I get your point but if we honestly summed up all the pages in this thread it's really the last 200 pages where there was nothing new to talk about where the love for the guy started dwindling.
My opinion would be if he wanted to weed those people out how about instead of going radio silent then hitting everybody with "I got you guys at the end of the month." And throwing shots at this thread in his discord. Just post more. And be more open to other peoples' criticism. Even if you don't like it, most people just want to be heard. It was going well until the last few updates.
Just look at his older posts compared to now He was open to change and improve until recent.
My post was giving reasons why this thread is the way it is but it just get reduced to "Anti-Bones" in his eyes, lumped in the rest that actually just despise the guy.
Even in his last post he did exactly what I said he does in that he just chooses to ignore criticism and scurries off.
First I offered my criticism which I think was valid.
Then, he chooses to believe my post was a "TRAP CARD" that he wasn't gonna get tricked by or whatever.
Then he sums up my post and says "this is why I don't hang out with you guys anymore."
Which basically proves my point that valid criticism doesn't matter to this guy only the extremes.
Then he tells me that he doesn't give a fuck what I think so I can't help the guy.
In the end, I think people on both sides should lend an ear and not be so quick to label them and listen to VALID reasons why.
I like both sides I just think the posts that are "Anti-Bones" are just making fun of him like teasing a friend.
And the ones that support him just want more content.
But the "Haters" that dislike the "supporters" when we know we'd be laughing to the bank like Bones if we we're in his shoes.
Or the "supporters" that dislike the "haters" without context as to why they hate Him.
Are the ones I don't agree with.
