For her first time organizing a 5000 people event it was quite okay.
But what has the character “MinecraftChick” to do with the real-life person Lydia Winters? When do people get that most of the contents in her videos is staged?
I bet you won’t say Dennis Hopper was a bad man, because he was the bad guy in Speed (1994, remember that? *g*).
Same with Lydia.
I believe this 100%. People are somehow tying her performance in her videos to the quality of her as a person. Anyone can act or overact in a video. Anyone can act like anything in a video if the are a good-enough actor.
I would bet that a bulk of the people spreading the hate about how she managed this event are teens and 20-somethings who have absolutely no clue as to how complex it is to set up and event like this. It would be hard for me to even believe that she did all of this by herself without some sort of staff or professionals from the facility itself to assist her. Even though there were a few hiccups here and there, the employees of Mojang seem to be overwhelmingly happy about how smoothly the event went.
So because I've never organised any kind of convention I'm not allowed to criticize Mojang on it?
By that logic I can't criticize Michael Bay's terrible films as I've never made any Hollywood Blockbuster. If you are a fan of her videos then fine, but quite frankly I do feel that it was badly organised and Mojang could have hired a professional. I still don't understand why they hired a mediocre youtube commentator to be honest, especially since there are those who have a greater following and have a more gripping presentational style.
I would bet that a bulk of the people bitching on this thread are people who did not go to Minecon, and are solely basing their opinion on a few videos or second-hand accounts.
There is a difference between offering a critique to something that someone experienced first-hand, and the bulk of the bitching and complaining that is going on in this thread.
To use your example, it would be like someone criticizing a Michael Bay film having never watched it, but merely read other peoples discussions and watched a few trailers and extras videos.
I'm wondering how many of you could manage to organise an event like MineCon, and get up there on the stage to talk about the game as well. Being somebody who does speak to large audiences every day for a living, I can attest to the fact that pretty much everybody sucks the first time, and most of you would continue to suck at it afterwords.
Lydia in Skyrim always gets in my way so i kill her
Then you wont have to hate her anymore because you can sell her stuff then you could be richer so you basicly just get a present ...

I don't see how this is relevant.
I would be terrible at it, yes. But there are professionals who have experience with organizing big events and others who have experience with speaking to large audiences. That's why you hire them instead of me or random YouTube commentators.

I miss my Lydia. She died to a dragon....trying to..to protect me...SHEWAAJUSTDOINHERJOOOOOOB!! GIVEN TO ME BY THE JARL LIKE A PIECE OF FURNITURE! OHHH GAADDDDDD WHYYYYYYYYYY?! Ah well...if she were in Fable, I would have given her over to the Temple of Skorm anyways. I supposed this was much more dignified.... *trails off rambling to self*
People are retarded. They hate on people and games like Lydia and Minecraft without any solid arguments.
People argue she's ugly. There's no such thing as human perfection. They say she's dumb. She's a gamer chick, not a scientist. (Though she can probably math and chemistry faster than half the nerds that rip into her.) I can go on. She feels more like a #1 fan who got their shot at stardom - But you know what? Congrats to her, she earned it.
And Minecraft. People argue that it's boring. They're not creative. People say that it's broken. It's java, deal with it like the other 3 million of us. People claim that it uses developer graphics. So? It works for Minecraft, makes it more entertaining. Not all games need 3D and 5000 tonnes of bloom to look "good", so suck a lolipop kay?
TL;dr, haters gonna hate, and if you're a hater, suck it up. You're just jealous you're not in the spotlight like she is. Suck it up.
What's the deal with people hating Lydia Winters (Minecraft Chick) ? I think she is an awesome person, and an awesome contribution to Mojang.. So what is up with people hating her? And for those who didn't know she is "The Director of fun" for Mojang.
Quote from everyone who isn »
I don't hate her, I just don't like her videos and can't understand why anyone would like them outside of the whole pretty girl gamers are popular paradigm. There is nothing else I see that distinguishes her from the 1000 other lousy minecraft videos that I also don't watch.
Quote from fan boys »
So why all the hate?
Let me break this down:
1. No one hates her
2. Many people have no desire to see someone flailing around in minecraft with no clue what they are doing. This is regardless of gender.
I AM starting to hate on fan boys who can't seem to understand that there are people who just have no interest in her videos. They are demonstrably poorly done. This has NOTHING TO DO WITH GENDER. A poorly planned video with no editing and bland commentary about fairly uninteresting aspects of the game is bad regardless of who does it. We don't need a 5 minute video about leaf blocks. We really don't.

i absolutely agree with you 100% this si what i was trying to explain and yet no one seems to understand this very simple and BASIC point.
I really love how people believe that "If you can't do a better job then you can't complain" idea is an actual, legit argument.
If I could get paid a decent salary to be a "Director of Fun", I sure as hell would take that job.
- sunperp
Of course it is -- it just usually has a more official-sounding title like "Director of Entertainment Services".
- sunperp
Well, that would be a reason to hate the person that made the job, not the person who took it.
HATERS GONNA HATE
1. came into thread- who the hell is this person?
2. watched video for 15 seconds
3. oh, an attention *****
