The GB community isn't perfect, but at least we're not THIS bad.

The past few months there has been a lot of harsh criticism and/or bashing of the Giant Bomb community. I was one of these critics. However, I didn't realize until now how good we have it. Sure we have our low points like the numerous "girl topics" that end in spectacular failure, the "quest spam" that has put many regular users off, or the usual political or religious topics that turn into flame wars 2 pages in. We have many more highs points though, like that Starcraft thread where the guy's armor looks like a cat, the help that fellow user Aurahack received from everyone, anything BiffMcBlumpkin posts, this thing, and the awesome race nights for Forza 3.
 
What am I trying to get at? Well, I was completely and utterly wrong for thinking the Giant Bomb community was crappy because I forgot all about...
This.
 
Yes, another run-of-the-mill fanboy bait article written by your friendly neighborhood IGN. All they are doing is just stating the obvious shit about the two consoles that anybody with reading comprehension skills can figure out on their own. This article exists for the sole purpose of creating another flamewar between the cults of the PS3 and Xbox 360. 
The comments section is rife with witty banter such as... 
"the ps3 has more aaa games"
 
"i know what ign now stands for
ign= international gay fags.
lol F-U IGN" 

"YEA GAYBOX LOOSE"
 
And my personal favorite
"loners buy ps3s and people with friends buy xbox 360s"

Anyway, I'm just glad I came to Giant Bomb a few months back. I've hardly seen any fanboy threads and I'm glad to leave the shithole of disease and misery that was IGN. So if you think the Giant Bomb community is bad? Then look everywhere else around you...it's much worse...

Whenever you feel bad about anything, just go to Gametrailers.com and read some of the comments on any of the videos. You will instantly feel better about yourself, and everyone you know.

Oh come on, it can't be that bad. 
 
Edit: 
OK, I just checked out the comments on a random thing on Gametrailers. It turned out that I checked the Mafia 2 review, and people are flipping the eff out about the "low" score the reviewer gave it. The score was nearly an 8, not low at all. They're also complaining about the fact that there's a new reviewer or something. I don't visit the site so I wouldn't know about that. But you're kinda right, lots of bitchin goin on there it would seem. Uggh, I can't believe I just force myself to read those comments.

Anyone who says this is a "bad" community, head over to Fark.com, a news aggregation site, click the "Politics" tab, click ANY of the comments sections (little numbers to the right of articles). That pressure on your chin is your jaw wanting to drop lower.

Noep, deh Wii sux infinite dix.
 
But really, I hate the Wii.
 
PS3, PC, and PSP are God tier, Xbox 360 breaks all the time, is technically inferior (literally, look at the provided link, this is a true statement), you have to pay for the online play, and the XBLA games are far too expensive.
 
But that's just my opinion, I couldn't give less of a fuck about yours so don't respond to this comment because I won't read it.

I've been here a week, and it seems like a fairly welcoming place. 
Every other site tends to turn me off quickly, but that "Welcoming Comitee" quest set made me feel welcome... 
 
and spammed.
