if I swore in here, then sorry, I probably just missed out something when I copied and pasted this from my site
This is probably not the best title for this thread, but oh well. I don't particularly care, as this is a kind of Micro-Rant.
So, on my board, most users play Nintendo and Sega games, unsurprisingly considering they come from the retro ROM hacking communities. This rant was written for my board, but is also applicable to here, so yeah, I think at least some people will understand what is going on here.
My story:
Basically, a few of the 'cool' kids found my YT channel (unsurprising, I had over 250 subscribers on the channel), and started to mock me, back in Year Eight, although this died down there is still an undercurrent of this such thing. Unfortunately in a school where homophobia and such seems to prevail over everything, I started getting called a [REMOVED HOMOPHOBIC REMARKS], of course, which I took well.
So, yeah. As you might know my channel is simply called "Cosmic Eternity", as is my username. It's also the first result that comes up when you channel-search the same thing. A few people know this, but at least they don't know I have the channel, they just know I use that username.
So basically, when I get back. I'm waiting for someone to find the channel and start the s*** over and over again, just because I upload Nintendo/Sega/Retro content and not typical teenager COD/GTA/Halo stuff.
Also, my school are particularly fond of being homophobic and immature, so why should I expect less of them?

Things:
Nintendo might be a bit 'kiddy' I can see where they are coming from. The bright colours for a start, and the marketing issues the Wii U and 3DS had. But don't forget a lot of older people do have nostalgia for the earlier titles (the ones I play too), note the use of the word 'older'. So making out shooters are mature when their primary audience seems to be teenagers and the 'professional big YouTubers' (that cater to their kid viewers), well... COSMIC SAYS YOU'RE WRONG! Shooters aren't even realistic, which is a claim some teenagers like to make, too, unfortunately. Now, let's look back to the 90s era, when Nintendo and Sega were battling, people probably didn't single others out for not playing games of a certain type then (other than the usual console wars between Mario and Sonic, but for some reason playing these games now sends you an instant ticket to school hell).

The rating of the graphics is ridiculous. Gamers have never really cared about graphics up until 3D was around, then it became a big thing to rate a game for its graphics. You can't play retro games anymore because they look 'old'.
Also, teenage claims that Call of Duty is hard to master and very diverse is ridiculous, and that Nintendo games are easy AF and too simple is, too. Sure, the NES SMB1 is easy, but SMB3 for instance isn't so, and also I'm not great at games and still mastered Call of Duty easily, yet still struggle with medium-difficulty NES era games.

This is all I can say right now about this subject. I might say more on the next replies if people can discuss this. This also took me about 10 minutes to write or so - I put a lot of time into this

Nintendo and Sega appeal to everyone, plain and simple. They dont feel the need to be violent or graphic with their games and that is great man and it brings something different to the table.

Wanna know what else is for kids?

Petty name calling. All of these people are prime examples of immature morons who try to be cool by liking what's popular.

I ignore these kinds of people. They're worthless.

They're not entirely wrong as in most Nintendo games are aimed at a young kid demographic. Of course, many Nintendo games appeal to teenagers and young adults too though and just enjoying a game like Pokemon that is aimed primarily at Children does not automatically make a person childish (and even then one could argue that having a childish side isn't neccessairly a bad thing).

Like yoshi mentioned, what is childish, is insulting people for having different interests. I people who seriously go out of their way to insult people for liking Nintendo are either kids themselves or need to go find a better use of their time.

Most of my beef with Nintendo is with their business practices and their more recent line of gimmicks. While Nintendo does aim more for a family friendly, semi-child oriented experience, it's not like saying it's Teletubbies or Barney. I think Nintendo could maybe have a little more variety by going to more teenage and young adult oriented games, but it's silly to say that Nintendo is only for kids. I've known 10 year old girls that play Borderlands 2 and 6 year old boys that play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It's kinduh the same argument as saying that driving a minivan is chick repellent. It really depends on how shallow the person is.

m0ssb3rg935 :

Nintendo does have some games aimed towards teenagers and young adults. A good example of this is the Fire Emblem series. I wouldn't say some of the Zelda games are necessarily aimed at kids. Look at Twilight Princess. That game would probably give me nightmares if I was like 8 and I played it.

Anyway, yeah, just ignore them. They're missing out on some of the great games instead of the games they probably play which is "SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT" all the time and nothing different. They're not worth the time.

Lexatom : Yeah, most the time they just play COD, Overwatch and Battlefield, sometimes GTA. I think there's some kind of 'cool factor' nowadays that has strengthened in the last years.

I don't get it either. I mean yeah Mario games are full of bright colors, and so on, and same with the Sonic games, but who cares? They are fun, even to this day. Of course most of the time it's from "dudebros" that try to act tough, or modern gamers that don't know Mario or Sonic past whatever is on current gen. Some of them do shake the stupidity, and mostly that comes with age.
