I'm pretty sure you need empathy to care what people think. You have that presence thing, and you can think in other peoples position and shit.
So you care. But thats not a bad thing, just saying it's pretty cool to experience "the other side" as well.
I mean, do you think you would care about anything if you didn't feel? :D
Don't think so.
I make cartoons. I'm not even afraid of spiders.

I think you could care what people think without being empathetic towards them. I believe I could still remain self conscious about my looks without putting myself in others' shoes.
But heck if I didn't feel, do you mean like, emotionally or sensory? If I had no emotions or senses I'm pretty sure I probably wouldn't care about anything.
It's true. But how I take it, it's always been not personal. You can take it personally.
Thats the difference. See it as if you would've alone for your entire life.
So it's just your opinion, you understand?
Apathy is very interesting I think. I mean yeah, no emotions. But what about your passion? Or if you love someone? It's damn complicated.
Almost seem like you become two-sided. One side don't want anything.
The other still wants everything.
Hey PBass, Gold Leader here, I just left DI.
I saw it man. I check back every once and a while, but I think I'm done with the place too. I'll still make graphics and stuff for Ace, but I don't know if I'll go back as a poster...

General populous? Who gives a damn what people think.
There is good stuff in learning though, because thats what you really are doing.
You learn about games, music, art and movies! By doing this, you probably dislike certain stuff even more. But when the better stuff comes, it's all worth it.
Overrated itself is just a word, like any other. It is used wrong of course.
But by the system, each new thing is higher "rated" than the older ones, so maybe the word 'Overrated' did pop up by critics who didn't liked what they saw? All things have faults, these faults get super-larged by "critics" because they did not enjoy the movie. It's sort of an elite thing I would guess.
I mean yes, Robocop, 3000 Miles to Graceland, Judge Dredd are all B-movies, but that doesn't change they're great in their own way.

It's true that the more you learn and experience means that your choice in things will change. And also that when you view most things as bad, that one good item is an absolute gem. However, I just dislike it when people attack certain media productions by calling them overrated, because it calls everyone who enjoys such things uncultured or accuses them of having poor taste, as if their opinion is wrong and cannot even begin to be viewed as right. I suppose critical elitism is just one of my pet peeves.
But who gives a damn what people think? Actually everyone does, no matter how much you hide it, people love feedback from other people. Heck I'm replying to your comment because I care what you think. Also by the way thank you for the comment!
