I've Seen People Talk About This, And From That Perspective It Kinda Makes Sense I'd Say? Though There

i've seen people talk about this, and from that perspective it kinda makes sense i'd say? though there are some things id point out

first of all, from just quickly browsing the splatoon wiki and going over the splatfest wins (if i am reading them correctly), other idols have had similar streaks to what shiver has going on right now, and at least i don't recall there being this much backlash (but at the same time, just like you mentioned, two teams get upset at the same time, instead of just one team, so i guess that's where the extra uproar is coming from) but this isn't really the first time that this has happened? with callie going in a 6 win streak in north america, and marina going on a 6 win streak as well in japan and a win streak of 7 in europe

and just to say that, idols have already been on long win streaks, even with regional voting, though i can still see how the worldwide tallying probably is/could be an issue, though i doubt that anything at this point is gonna be done to it at this point, it's already been implemented for a whole year, i doubt that they are going to suddenly change that whole thing, so sure, maybe some transparency of how the votes are split could work? not sure for the fix of it... but i feel like we just have to get used to this system now

and with the shiver being the fan-favourite... for one, i do hope people realize that it isn't, just, about picking the idols? i mean sure, some people definitely do that, no doubt about it, but i genuinely believe that the majority of the player base picks for the theme, like the amount of people that are always conflicted when a new theme drops is hefty, just going to show that, if it were for the idol, they would've just gone with that idol, but instead are genuinely conflicted with what team to pick, so if shiver gets the popular vote, well then so be it, clearly most people preferred that theme over the rest (though i will admit, some of the choices are rather questionable, i mean who would pick nessie over aliens? /hj)

that's all to say that, while i do somewhat understand the perspective, and the fact that all these things can pile up, it is still a bit confusing to me, as to why these results are being taken so seriously, since, at least from my perspective, like, is it because people are so heavily invested in that game? if so, why? is it like a special interest type of thing, a comfort game, etc. or is it something else

(also apologies if anything sounds incohesive, it's rather late and i'm tired lol)

on a semi related note? why are people getting genuinely mad? i am seriously curious

and it doesn't have to be related to be this splatfest, i mean like, for all splatfests, why are people getting this angry

Happy New Year, everyone!

Onto a new one! (Hopefully, this time we might actually get around to fulfill our resolutions..)

Best of luck and wishes for everyone!

Repeat after me: I draw so good. Not everything needs to be a banger. I'm not a content machine I'm a person who makes art and art takes time. Inspiration comes in waves and when it recedes that's when I should let myself rest

FEMA is doing an emergency alert test on all TVs, radios, and cell phones on October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20pm ET.

If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.

Yes, I'm doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.

Please reblog and add better tags than mine, I'm bad at tags.
