Criticism loses its effect when it's all you ever do. It also has so little effect to begin with when it's always condescending, scolding remarks rather than actual constructive discussion. And any hope of swaying minds is utterly lost the minute you go full board extreme.

I agree Miamoto has done things which have been a detriment. However, he's been a great asset as well, and overall is a net asset. When you refuse to acknowledge that, you immediately lose any hope of people taking your views seriously.

I agree with your statement about calling critics trolls, however that only applies when criticism isn't all they ever do, and never in a constructive manner. You might see yourself as some unbiased critic but, to most people it does look like trolling, which too often hides behind the guise of "just criticism". And you go off topic far too much looking for ways to sneak in jabs. That's the biggest giveaway that its trolling. This is an article about Miamoyo giving a keynote. But you just saw Miamoto's name mentioned and decided it was opportunity #579 to rail against him.

If the day comes where only 10-15% of your statements are criticism as opposed to all of them, and are delivered with actual tact and respect, then I will be the first to step up denounce accusations of trolling.

People here are fans of Nintendo and want to talk about the things they like. Doesnt mean they "accept everything". There's plenty of things people dont accept. Doesn't mean that's all they're ever gonna talk about though. Saying people don't want Nintendo to "be better"? Of course people always want to see improvement. But that doesn't mean they want to hear people rag on them 24/7. You say people "blindly accept" everything that's wrong? You mean everything YOU deem wrong. And no, people don't blindly accept anything. But a lot of the hoopla you complain about is crap so insignificant people dont care.

Most people don't want to spend their whole lives complaining or listening to others complain. When something happens that actually matters, you'll see people step up. Til then... people just wanna play video games man. If they wanted this kind of drama and constant criticism they'd be on a politics website.
