I don't think it's trolling to express your opinion. If I were to say Guitar Hero sucks, I am not trolling, That is just my opinion. If anyone is so offended by it or insulted, they need to grow up and learn to accept not everyone likes those games.


I agree, which is probably why I don't get bothered by it. I actually enjoy "fighting" them back, but I can respect their opinions cuz everyone is different.

I only get hurt if I share my special interests with someone I know and care about and they insult them. Then it's like I am being insulted.

One time on youtube I was listening to Mario kart 64 music and I left a comment saying something like "This game is lame compare to the newer Mario Kart games but it's still a classic" and I got a few mean comments and my comment was marked down it's hidden now.

I was very annoyed with these people but I argued back with them which was fun. I mean seriously people get so bent out of shape when someone says something about their favorite thing they don't agree with.

And I doubt these people were also aspies. I mean I am not going to assume every person who gets upset just because someone didn't like the movie they like or the same video game or same book, etc. has AS. Man I have seen attacks and insults being thrown around on IMDB boards when someone doesn't like a movie or when someone liked the movie and people just want each other to agree with them. They also throw the T word around. People are so immature it all looks silly.

How can I see this as an AS thing if none aspies do this too? Like I say I doubt they were all aspies.
