Nintendiots and the death of discussion in Internet forums

Nintendo has turned, like Star Wars or Disney itself, into a cult. All megapopular shallow forms of entertainment eventually do. It's shallow, derivative and empty of any real message for everyone to see and thus all loonies who depend on it to fill their existential void fight for it like fierce crusaders spreading their faith upon the dead bodies of their enemies and detractors.

I'm one of these corpses, piling atop how many others?  How much criticism have these rabid faithful cultists wiped and hid beneath the carpet?  Along the internet years I've used accounts such as nemesis, namekuseijin, fotorama, Erik and a bunch of others in forums such as Metroid Database, Eidolons Inn, slashdot, Reddit, Uol, outerspace and consistently I've been banned or shut down in a way or another - do these people even know what a forum is for?

And all for stating the obvious: Nintendo makes the same kiddy games since the 80s over and over and their consoles are crappy obsolete hardware running only old games and retro indies. Somehow, stating simple, direct observation facts is enough to grant you a ban.  It's like stating the king is naked or God is nowhere to be found.

Discussion is dead nowadays, you can't get intelligent, reasonable discussion with arguments anywhere in the Internet these days. Current human race representatives are barely more interesting to try to hold a conversation with than a potato. It's all about dumbly pointing fingers up or down at people pointing fingers. Congrats, Fakebook.

This is why I'm resorting to my soliloquies at a blog again. This and dialoguing with long dead book authors in their old pages is the only way to get any kind of interesting discussion in a world ridden by blind cultists busy with their gatekeeping.
