What makes someone a "Tendie"?
What makes someone a "Tendie"?
hardcore bootlicking
If your first nintendo console was the switch 1 you are a tendie to me
Massive corporate cocksucking mostly.
Being obsessed with video games made for kids in any capacity.
Are you super excited to play Bing Bing Wahoo that it gives you a half chub? You are a tendie.
Does the price of Bing Bing Wahoo give you a melty like these guys ? You are also a tendie.
If buying a Switch 2 makes me a tendie, then so be it
I for real unironically bought a shirt which says “Chicken Tendies” with a pic of tendies on it as a joke and I’m not even really into graphic tees. Just a joke, just a joke I swear.
Convenient.
tendies are people that think gaming only exists within the realm of nintendo. it's not just that they only play on nintendo devices, they aren't even aware of what exists on other platforms. nintendo can introduce features like voice chat and port last gen games and tendies will get excited because they have no concept of how basic these features are.
I mean if Nintendo told me the next Mario was suddenly $1000 I'd have a melty too, because I am a Tendie that wants to play their games.
If Bethesda announced that Skyrim 2 would be $1000 I simply wouldn't give a shit because I'm not a Bethesdrone. I wouldn't make 30 threads crying about it.
Shut up.
This is very true. The mentality of "if I haven't heard of it, it must be bad" is a defining trait.
Being a "tendie" is not just being a fan or being interested in their games though.
"Tendie" is short for "based nintenchad"
You're right, but it's when you're so attached to the games that it's hard for you to detach.
Like normal people who play Nintendo see the $80 price tag just shrug and say "eh maybe I won't buy it" or "I'll just wait" or "I got extra money I guess I'll get it".
But tendies fall into "YASSSSS I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT I PREORDERED IT BEFORE SEEING THE PRICE TAG" and "NOOOOOO $80 IS TOO MUCH GRRR I HATE NINTENDO SO MUCH #DROPTHEPRICE" etc.
But enough about steamies.
It's someone unable to list 10 snes games not made by nintendo, yet claims to be the nintendoest nintendo man in all nintendo.
Right so that makes sense, what doesn't is tagging the other anons as having a melty over the price when they pointed out one of the most defining features of a tendie that's been known for years.
Dickriding everything Nintendo does.
Rabidly defending everything Nintendo does.
Smart. Honest. Upper middle class. White. Respected. Confident. Assertive but not imposing. A leader of his peers. Happy. Kind. Calm. Composed.
I can't imagine someone who doesn't intensely care about nintendo does would be crying about "bootlicking" or "dickriding" so much.
It's what Nintendo fans are most often criticized for.
At this rock bottom point I'd say buying into Nintendo makes someone a tendie by default, yeah. No standards or integrity anymore, just consoom the brand.
Yes tendies fight with other tendies about the best way to consoom kiddie games. It's nothing new.
So anyone that has enough stake in the conversation to meaningfully discuss it is a tendie?
Like pic related.
Spamming the same insults a whole week after the direct over kiddie games isn't meaningful discussion, and thus is Tendie behavior.
tendie = anybody who i disagree with online, simple as
That's doesn't address my whole point or the whole discussion we've had. Does criticizing Nintendo or its fans to any degree of harshness make someone a tendie?
Doing it remotely obsessively does make you a tendie, yes.
How can you prove that dropping such mild criticism as above is obsessive or casual?
Precisely
I'm taking an educated guess that a person who saw the thread pop up and immediately ran in to spam bootlicker simply cares a lot about what Nintendo is doing. And thus, their games must be pretty important to them. And thus, is a tendie.
Being a snoy, as you would then love to talk about ninendo more than tendies, therefore you are a "tendie"
Liking Nintendo games. I've been accused of one despite only emulating past the Wii.
They behave like a Disney adult, but with Nintendo products.
Did anybody archive the video?
Exhibiting the type of behavior described in pic-related or this video:
Interesting enough take I suppose, but I still think it falls short of being completely logical when haters exist. Anyway I'll probably by a Switch 2 just for a God damned stable F-Zero GX experience, so consider me a tendie.
I'm a console war veteran, I was in the trenches for Reggie when all my friends were calling me gay for getting a Gamecube. How dare you call me a tendie you little faggot
Jokes on them, you weren't gay for playing GameCube. It was the massive amount of cock you were sucking that made you gay.
applies to pc vegans as well. i'm starting to think the "tendie" label is much more applicable to nintendo obsessed haters than actual fans of the company
First you need to enjoy something made by Nintendo. While doing this if a snoy or PC vegan sees you being happy with Nintendo products that automatically makes you a "tendie". It's a term of endearment for people who are of high class.
I'm selling my 4090 gaming PC for $2500, more than enough for the Switch 2 and 20 future games
Poorfags can seethe
It's ironic that the people that post this are always console warring for their own brand
