Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

No, I have literally never heard men criticize Animal Crossing or Star Dew Valley for any reason, really. But I guess they do in your head while you shower.
This is another fallacy men vs women BS attention seeking, ragebait post
It's not men vs women
It's people who only play COD and FIFA on consoles vs more involved and open-minded gamers
Sex has nothing to do with this but making it about sex is more headline-worthy...
I have heard a lot of men say that it's boring/pointless (but shoot thing with gun isn't)
I mean, they're entitled to that opinion. If you said an FPS was boring because it's just shooting people, I wouldn't be mad, they're entitled to that opinion too. Although I think you could make a pretty objective argument that a game like Call of Duty is at the very least more stimulating than a game like stardew valley.
I assure you it's not. You absolutely can lock in on some stardew.
It's some capital G Gamer take from the same people hating on walking sims, has been a while since I've seen that though. Loud fringe idiots, as usual.
Fuck the generalization but I highly suspect it's mostly just a tumblr thing/kinda general meme to lead with will...
okay, I'll sacrifice myself for this, here's my opinion:
I haven't been able to get into Stardew, it just feels like there isn't much to do that requires thought. it's run here, buy a thing, decide where you want to go, buy that thing, maybe do a cave for a bit of something interesting but not too much of that
idk, just didn't have enough autonomy or choice, for me? and I wasn't invested in the story at all. seems like a cute mindless game that's good for relaxing, when you don't want to mentally tax yourself because you're gaming to relax. same goes for animal crossing, though I only watched it, never played it. animal crossing seemed like there was more thought involved, actually, as you had more control over stuff. less guided.
so now take those words and twist it into criticism instead of statements about personal preference, I guess, and you've got the source of the OP's comment
Stardew is pretty devoid of meaningful choice because it's devoid of meaningful challenge. Other games in the genre, like Harvest Moon 64 or Rune Factory 4 (no particular reason for those examples, they're just my favorites in the genre) are defined by taxing time limits, complicated schedules to remember, and so on. Rune Factory 4 even has very challenging dungeons which reward understanding the crafting system and the various skills.
"I haven't seen the thing so clearly it doesn't exist"
The original posts implies a large majority is doing a thing. The reply isn't saying "nobody is doing this" it's saying "it's not nearly as common as they are implying". In which case "I haven't seen it so it's not that common" is valid.
Where exactly does it imply majority?
"ever notice how men criticize games like..." Strongly implies this is a common behavior from men, instead of wording it "ever notice how some people criticize games like...'
So the answer is "nowhere"
Your lack of reading comprehension is not my problem
Anything's possible when you make shit up kiddo
People writing memes and social media posts do not qualify with statements like "a statistically significant number of beavers" when talking about beavers. That is wordy and pointless. We can form basic expectations that the people we interact with don't make assumptions about 100.00% of any given population.
