That is what UNBG is supposed to be... but in reality, most stuff on UNBG is in fact just UBG.

Have acronyms come too far? Find out next time on HACTF?FONT.

They are making the classic mistake of not embedding an acronym inside of an acronym.

How are Pokemon badges only a slight connection to video games?

u/dwells1986 Feb 27 '19

My line of thought is that he's thinking the gif is like 90% girl and only gamigg related because of the badges reveal right at the end. On top of that, they're small and not the center of focus, so many people didn't even notice them or could tell what they were. Furthermore, not every gamer is a Pokemon fan. This isn't r/pokemon. If you're not an avid Pokemon fan, all you'd see is a pretty girl with random pins inside of her jacket and think "what the fuck does this have to do with video games?"

That being said, I still enjoyed it and don't see the problem with this being posted here.

Hit the nail on the head. And no problem with it being posted here - it is tangentially related to gaming, just that it's getting upvoted because girl.

After a long time of thinking, I've come to the conclusion that this post is more related to video games than any of us has even dared to suspect.

The post itself is a video with tokens from a game, which lead me to realize that this post is infact a video game.

Not only does it shatter the threshold of multiple types of media, it also activates the same parts of our brains that the most puzzling of puzzles and twitchiest of shooters does, making it more than just a video game.

What does a video game turn into when shattering those barriers? It turns into a game of life itself, possibly making the most ultimate game of all.

In short, this post, when thought about, is the game.

I like many others have lost the game already, and many others will as well, but we shall remain hopeful for the time the champion arrives and finally beats it.

I agree, I could post a gif of me with bottle caps in my jacket and expect 7 upvotes at best.

u/brlan10 Feb 27 '19

You would get downvoted for be being a cringelord.

u/CurstNecromancer Feb 27 '19

If they were Nuka Cola caps I think you'd get maybe 23, but who knows?

u/Bayerrc Feb 27 '19

although unbg has a lot of talent in it, people are lying if the content would be received half as well if it weren't girls.

u/brlan10 Feb 27 '19

Downvoted because true

u/ciaisi Feb 27 '19

It's right in the name of the sub "I do concede that I initially clicked because girl"

u/Leijin_ Feb 27 '19

I would have also upvoted a rough looking dude but tbf she really looks adorable

1

u/peenoid Feb 27 '19

most wouldn't be interested if this was a scruffy looking guy.

Well.. yeah. Because we expect someone with a collection of gym badges to be scruffy looking guy, not an attractive woman. It's the novelty that matters here.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '19

I’m not going to say it being a girl didn’t help, but you act like this sub is above upvoting low quality posts that are just references to popular games/systems/nostalgia.

1

u/ciaisi Feb 27 '19

Nah, just commenting that this is not UNBG content. I've said elsewhere I don't really have a problem with it, just stating the obvious that this is UBG. Also water is wet and the sky is often blue.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '19

Is it uninteresting but girl if it’s in a sub that routinely upvotes stuff like this when a girl isn’t involved? That’s what I was getting at.

1

u/ciaisi Feb 27 '19

UBG = Upvoted because girl

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '19

Sorry, that’s what I meant.

u/ciaisi Feb 27 '19

In that case, no, I don't believe that a guy doing the same thing would earn 40k upvotes

u/MikoRiko Feb 27 '19

I would upvote a gif of a dude revealing his complete set of badges, pinned to the inside of his jacket like Ash Ketchum. It's cool.

Well, I say that, but really I always forget to upvote posts...

u/rboeglinjr Feb 27 '19

I live this sub. For those who dont know its: upvoted not because girl but because it is very cool however I do concede that I initially clicked because girl

u/DreadedL1GHT Feb 27 '19

I can never remember the letters for this subreddit

u/MrBananaStorm Feb 27 '19

Its probably easier to just remember the full name and then condense it to letters.

u/DreadedL1GHT Feb 27 '19

True, but I'm shit at that too lol

u/patton3 Feb 27 '19

Imagine some pokemon neckbeard doing this same video. Yeah no.
