Why is everyone so negative against Warrior Cats?

[zRichtofen]

o_o... Dang, I just wanted to say something here... Really? I can't express my opinions on here? So you're gonna not let someone get it out of their body? Crap, I can't let my anger be free, amazing.

Sorry.~

You have the right to express your opinions about something. However, you shouldn't say harsh and negative things about people like that on the FH forums. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, BUT you calling Warrior roleplayers stupid is considered flamming, and it goes against the forum rules. I participate in Warrior roleplays as well, does that mean I'm stupid? You might have some good friends on this game who like roleplaying as Warrior cats. If they do, does that make them stupid too?

Hm.
While you are entitled to your opinion, you have to realize that a lot of people play as warriors.

I play as a warrior sometimes, honestly... Does that mean you think I'm stupid, as well? How about everyone else that's played a warrior? (I know even of several FH staff members that have played warriors before, and also rather enjoyed the books.)

This said, I don't think it's quite right for anyone to say such negative things about anyone who plays a warrior, and especially for someone to judge the books themselves before reading them.
Again, you are entitled to your opinion, and it's alright to post it in a discussion board, but I don't think expressing it in such an insensitive way is ever a good thing to do. It's insulting to a lot of people that you sit alongside in this game every day, and like any other debate, you should really back up your opinion with legitimate reasoning, rather than one or two bad experiences.

'Cause if everyone judged groups of roleplayers like that, no one would approve of any species roaming about. No?

WhiteLight pretty much says it better than I do. But do you understand what we are trying to say? If you don't agree with someone or something, that's fine. You can believe what you want to believe. But flamming the roleplayers and the fans by calling them stupid isn't a polite thing to do. You shouldn't judge people for the things they like to do or read. The lesson of the day is... on the FH forums, you have to choose your words carefully. You never know who you might offend.

I wasn't flaming, I was saying what I was saying.

I don't want this to be a war... .-. *covers my face with a pillow*

Shh-shshshhhh... *Hugs your face*

Floof, we aren't trying to start a war (and there is no squabble here, merely a discussion), we're just trying to make the point that you are absolutely entitled to get your opinion out there. However, when you do, just shouting it out without watching your words can indeed send out a very bad message, that goes far beyond simply expressing yourself.
Put simply, being considerate and diplomatic is the name of the game when discussing something like this, particularly when you're on the side in question.

So, just re-read what you say when you go to post something like that, that way everyone can focus on the reasoning for your opinion, rather than just the way you said it. And so, monitoring that can really go a long way for your argument's legitimacy.

/rantover.
But anyway. It's alright, Coda, just be careful next time, okie?

So. Warrior cats?

Again as I said:

I think why most people dont like warrior cats  bacuae of how most act around flourite,
~They map claim
~They have no respect for others
~They attack all who enter that part of land
~They call anyone who disaagrees with them a Godmodder
~Some cause WAY to much drama
~and as some have stated above, they take heavy stuff and make it seem light, even when its very disterbing
I dont do this, i try my best to play fair, tho most my clan doesnt do what i do.
Personaly im starting to like lions and wolves more

Also,

They don't know the difference between IC and OOC by my experience. Me and my friend were foxes and had one of their kits and the dude said he was crying in real life. Seriously? People don't cry over rps....

Awhh... Well, sometimes I will say that strong emotions can branch over into the roleplayers themselves.
I know of a time or two where someone's roleplay post, or perhaps even my own, actually brought me to tears, because there was so much heart, or something so heartrending happening that it really touched me.
Now, if someone's crying because something was said/done in the RP that makes them sad/grumbly, then I could see a bit of emotion there. However, the real matter is what they do next; Are they gonna let their emotions get the better or them and just storm off, or are they going keep roleplaying?

If it does become too much, of course, then it is good for them to step aside. This goes for any roleplay (among other things in life), and it sounded like what the floof you described needed to do. It is good for everyone else to still be supportive, though, no matter what side of the roleplay you might be on. It's good sportsmanship, and simple considerateness. Sensitivity to another's emotions is a good trait to have.

/slightlyofftopic. But still, this can happen in any roleplay.

Strange.... were you and your fox friend and the kit speaking to each other OOC at the time?
Me and my warrior friends hang out and derp together, even if I am on one of my fox characters and they are on their warrior characters. Some other warriors come around and think nothing of it, since we are all OOC. But there have been some who threw big fits all because a fox was hanging out with a group of cats. For one, we were OUT of Character. And two, we are FRIENDS. No big deal right?

[greenart6]

I wasn't trying to be offense, just an experience I had.

But no, we weren't in OOC at all, me and my friend did whisper each other but no one else could see that.

Welp. I don't know what to think of it then. Who knows what that one person who was crying irl was thinking at the time. Maybe they are big fans of the Warriors series and probably cried when one of their favorite kit characters got eaten by a fox in the books.... Or maybe she lost a cat to a fox in real life (I once met a person who said she hated foxes because one killed her pet cat). We may never know. Who knows?

Some people have a bad opinion about warrior cats because they never read the books or anything that means information regarding Warrior Cats.If they don't like it,it is their opinion but don't start complaining about it when you absolutely know nothing about it.I haven't read the books so i have no idea what is all about,i role-played like 4-5 times as one and I can say I am not really into it but it's not fine if i am to tell everyone negative things about it just because i don't enjoy it much.

[SteampunkWolfdog]

I've never roleplayed as a Warrior Cat or read the books. It just never really took my fancy. But I don't say stuff like "Urgh, those damn warriors" when I see cats roleplaying or see some run by. To be honest, if they don't bother or annoy me, then I have no reason to behave negatively towards them. Since I've never really affiliated with warriors, I don't really understand their 'lore', like their vocabularly or their relationships with other animals. As far as I know, they're doing what warriors do. And that's fine, as long as it doesn't disrupt my own activities.
But I think it's the way that the cats sometimes behave that bugs people a bit. Apparently, warrior cats and foxes aren't axactly best friends, and when a fox shows up somewhere, the cats go a bit crazy, even if the fox isn't involved in their roleplay. That is a bit over the top.
