Your 'poor disposition' has caused a string of disciplinary problems from you that are against the rules, and your effective stated contempt here for other posters is definitely enough for me to consider you a problem once more. It won't be an 'excuse'- it will be a solid reason if you keep up that attitude.

And being the mod DOES mean she can set the terms of the argument around here. And the argument here is about the computer games only. That rules out any possibility of AC being relevant; you can squawk about being correct all you like but that's just a logic failure.

Now, the mod decision has been made. I can give you a warning now if you want to keep arguing it.

Did you study psychology or something?

Studying. But yes. Aiming for a career in it, in fact.

Oh, a lot. Since I'm aiming for a doctorate (I want to be a psychologist, research instead of counseling, though). I'm not going to be done with schooling anytime soon.

Try again.

no expression

Batman is an introvert.
Always was, always has been.

He alienates most of his partners like Robin and Batgirl.
He treats them like shit.

He likes to work alone most of the time. In other words, he's a loner.
Heck, even the Justice League members dislike him. They only work with him out of fear and respect.

Despite that, he's one of the greatest superheroes ever created.

Batman is brooding, yes, but hardly introverted to the same level as Squall. In the comics his thoughts are displayed for the reader to see; in the animated universe he quite often explains his thoughts to Alfred, or any allies or even opponents that might be nearby.

Batman is relatable, because you do in fact get a window into his mind.

It's a valid route in the comic medium, is what I'm saying. He is, in effect, speaking to the reader.

That is true.

But the same can be said about pretty much every comic character, no matter how introverted they are.

Granted I do not care less whether Batman is introverted or not, since I generally abhor the character.

Ah ok, well everyone has their own opinions but personally i feel FFXI is a pretty good game as i have played much of it for a long time.

Yeah I enjoyed it. I have some fond memories.

I remember those little goblins chasing people across the entire zone in that desert area, then the person would zone out and the goblin would aggro some afker sitting near the entrance and kill them.

And I remember that big Ram in Konchstant Highlands one shotting careless people as they went into the desert area.

How long ago have you played it though? I'll admit while i really liked that game, there were a few flaws which made me a little unhappy.

Lmao i still remember in that jungle you pt at lv 25+(in the old days before the updates), one person would aggro a goblin and then cause it to kill so many other parties after he zoned it.

Sigh so many fond memories, had to quit though as real life as greater priorities.

I tried WOW after that but couldn't get into it like i did in XI.

Not one bit of which makes him an introvert.

Whereas, as I say, the fact that he is a socialite who is continually expressing himself openly (every bloody night) makes him the opposite.

I am surprised how clueless people are about introversion. Being a loner is not the same thing, and that's a doubtful label to it Batman with anyway seeing that in public consciousness he is generally associated with being with someone else.

One of the few actually introverted people in the list given above is Auron. He's a good character but he would have been an awful main character.

Rorscharch, in comparison, is laughable on such a list- he expresses himself to everyone and his mother, whether they want to hear it or not. He's got mental issues with is personality but that sure as ehck is not introversion.

So don't go labelling every angst-character an introvert. Meanwhile, as I say, genuine introverts are rubbish action heroes. The only time Final Fantasy did that, they got one of their least popular leads ever.

Him alienating and treating his partners like shit makes him an ass that treats people like shit, not introverted.

Angst != introversion. Brooding != introversion. Mental issues != introversion.

(also, since I feel someone's going to make the claim that Batman's antisocial - go read up on what that word actually means, first, because 99% of people who use it do so the wrong way)
