People liking or not liking a series, or having a difference of opinion in general, isn't a matter of bad memory, let alone "incompetence".It may be shocking, but some people have never liked the Sonic series. Some people have never liked The Simpsons. Some people only like a tiny fraction of the content of big, popular franchises, even if the mainstream opinion is that a greater percentage of it is good. And sometimes bad content does sour people on the good content. Not every hugely popular thing is loved to the same extent by every person on Earth.
People are only human, and humans do sometimes forget things or misremember things (or they speak in generalizations that aren't meant to be taken dead literally), and if they're decent, they'll acknowledge their mistakes when they're pointed out. Judging them for making a mistake at all, as if we should all be flawless robots, is beyond petty. I have a lot more tolerance for honest mistakes than for super nit-picky "Actually..." sorts who come in all smug and insulting, rather than trying to be constructive and helpful. I also have a lot more tolerance for honest mistakes than people who can't distinguish between a fact and an opinion and try to invalidate opposing opinions as being "wrong". I mean, there's no way to prove objectively that Cloud is "emo" or not. It's just an opinion. There isn't even an official definition of what "emo" means. Merriam-Webster only defines it as a genre of music, not as a personality trait. Depending on how one views "emo" as a personality trait and how they interpret Cloud's actions, it's perfectly fair to personally assess him as emo. And it's perfectly fair to assess him as not emo. I repeat, it's an opinion.
I also repeat my request that we not make a regular habit of using The Retrogaming Roundtable to discuss the drama of other websites and mock and shit-talk users of other sites who have no idea they're even being talked about here. Keep that kind of stuff to your own personal blogs or social media. We're here to talk about games, not who said what where.
