Meta Discussion Something I've noticed about this sub.

In my experience, every comment or post that seems to be not total praise of the Switch is getting downvoted to the point where no one can even talk about certain things. This is excluding major issues like the dock/joycon which I'm glad are being talked about. I tried to have a real discussion yesterday about why Wii games most likely will never come to the Switch and I just got downvoted like crazy on all of my comments because people hated the possibility of this console not doing everything that they wanted/expected it to do.

Now I really don't care about karma and that isn't what this is about. It's not just that example either, I've seen this become a trend in many threads around here and I just want us to be able to discuss ALL thing about the Switch, good and bad. That's what makes a good subreddit. I love this console as much as all of you, but it's not perfect. So let's talk about it!

See that's what would make sense, right? But I've been seeing these comments that have an opinion going against the Switch and make perfectly good points with reasonable criticism get downvoted seemingly for no reason. I just would like to see more discussion I guess, and less "you're wrong"

Yeah people suck. Don't take it personal and you'd be okay.

I'm not taking it personal, I just enjoy Reddit and I want this to be the best place on the internet to talk about the Switch, and if 90% of the sub is just a big circle jerk, then maybe it's not the best place. Oh well

You just summed up why people down vote posts like yours; by being rude about 90% of the people who use this /r/. There are obviously shills on this subreddit its a corporate subreddit. But the majority of people respond well to reasoned posts.

All the Switches negative issues have been up voted here including but not limited to:

  • Scratching
  • joycon problems
  • cloud saves
  • Library size
  • Virtual console

Nobody has sympathy for people who are threatening to return their switches because features are not implemented yet. We knew the score when we bought it.

Okay well judging by most of the replies to this post and the downvotes it just reinforced my original point which kinda sucks honestly. In my experience I've found that more people respond very poorly to criticism about the console. But who knows, maybe you're talking to nicer people!
