When you have cake, it is not the cake that creates the most magnificent of experiences, but it is the emotions attached to it.
The cake is a lie.

and not even 1st place. you spent some time looking for proof that SC community is bad mkay....lol. Do all these downvotes suggest the community is bad? or that SC has most number of idiotic and obsessive trolls attacking it?
I wonder if this thread creation holds any clues
Glad to see them getting the same treatment on r/starcitizen even after all these years.
That scum has no place in Star Citizen or any other game community.
Let them grieve and mourn along the goons and ed forum where they belong lol
It's also important to know that the developers pissed off Goon Swarm who are widely regarded as the largest group of griefers and trolls within gaming, and are well known for massive propaganda campaigns.
At this point I doubt the majority of the trolls are GS (Though I would bet money on the fact that some of them are) but controversy has a way of taking on a life of it's own if there is someone regularly stirring the pot.
Many also from 4chan now (although 4chan membership might be even less PC than usual after Toronto).
Many of the cheapskates cannot afford (do not want to afford) the SA.com paysite.
Those are goons, not Goons. They might think different.
Have fun
It's the beauty of it, Star Citizen, Chris Roberts, Sandi, Ben Lesnick, put up with the goons when it suited them and while it was convenient and them kicked them in the rear ass when they didn't need them anymore. It's perfect really, in a way the goons and many angry backers contributed deeply to make Star Citizen what it is today!
Thank you Citizens!
Rest of the trolls are mostly lowspec players who cant run the game and frustrated elite fanboys envious of space legs and atmospheric planets lol
Eventually, the whole thing became, downvote and move on. In fact this is still a controversy today where many point fingers at the sub moderators because they refuse to ban obvious goons/trolls .
Things are quite quieter now, but Reddit userbases themselves are rather meh, it's so often a mob mentality where either they are angry at something or happy at something and you can't swim against the flow without backlash.
This is not the only game I follow. I follow several games that are currently in development. I behave the exact same way on every single forum. Come there with legitimate questions and concerns and I'll engage you in a civil and intelligent discussion. Come there and start hurling insults at the game while making no attempts to engage in productive discourse and I will treat you as a troll.
And it's not just me, it's everyone in these communities. This is why Aron_Swordmaster and Blorpykins get a lot of resistence from the SOTA community. This is why Slapshot gets a lot of resistance practically everywhere he goes. These people troll those communities by bashing their game over and over and over and then the community meet them with equal hostility as they do here.
It's called karma. You reap what you sow.
Star Citizen is no different than any other community in these regards. They only difference is there are more trolls. Meaning YOU, the trolls, are the cause of the problem.
The problem with the star citizen defenders is many of them will see criticism, even constructive criticism, and immediatly call the person a troll or a hater or scum or any other name in the book. If you don’t have nothing but praises for the game then you will be attacked at some point for your opinion even if posted with evidence to back up your position.
The defenders will overlook any amount of lies or half truths told by CIG and give them a free pass because “it’s alpha” Or “it’s never been done before” and yet when someone points out the obvious that CIG said this and then did the opposite that person is attacked.
As you pointed out Slap has been called a troll all over the place. I've actually never seen him on the SC forums or if I have I've forgotten it. But I have seen him on the forums of nearly every game that has sold anything through a Kickstarter bashing them all as pay-to-win. His anti-kickstarter crusade comes off as trollish to me, and obviously it does to all these other communities as well.
To say that Star Citizen community is the cause of the problem you would have to show they are more apt to hop on constructive criticism than members of any other gaming community. I am quite sure a detailed and unbiased study of this would yield that there is no major difference.
The difference in the number of trolls on the Star Citizen boards vs. other boards is immediately apparent though.
The game itself doesn't control anything,weather the game is great not so great,terrible is again out the game's hands,this is all about Chris.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
The SC community has endured through more hate and trolling than I have ever seen before, the large majority of trolling and hate came from outside the community, those people have helped polarizing discussions to a ridiculous level, such as I mentioned before, how often the community has been attacked and provoked intentionally to get a rise out of backers by bringing the same beaten topics over and over and over and over and over again. What those people with legit and constructive criticism are, is caught in the middle of that mess, a situation that also gave toxic people easy scapegoats to exploit at their will.
Gladly, that whole situation toned down, and its peak was indeed 2015 when we had "DS 15 minutes of fame" plus other situations all at once around the same time the goons gladly jumped in to fuel a fire of epic proportions.
This type of discussion is irrelevant, for those who play Star Citizen, know the real community behind this game, from what we see in-game to the cool culture that was created surrounding SC, such as the bar citizens all over the world, a community that cares about the game helps a lot on making the in-game experience much better to all, and that is what really matters.
The most, a game have spend in the ..vaporware "era" , was DarkFall , for 9 years which eventually, has been released, as a fail game of course. That is the path which SC will follow.

Blizzard Boss: Making gamers happy is not my concern, making money.. yes!
Arena Commander / the PTU includes prettymuch all the content that was available in Freelancer plus ground combat and racing.
They have a playable game at this point. It may be buggy. It may need a few more things to be compelling for a lot of people. But to say it's words, scripts and voice-overs is best case incredibly ignorant, and worse case a flat lie.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
Combine that with the fact you can get out and walk around planets, engage in combat on the ground, and do racing in Arena Commander and you actually have more content than Freelancer multiplayer did. Iron out the bugs and you've already surpassed a game I often describe as one of the best games ever.
A detailed an unbiased study lol good luck with that.
Yet he avoids SC, CF and Ashes, likely because they don't exhibit any of the characteristics that set him off.
BTW it's not trolling if its true. Saying SC and CU are well past their promise date is accurate, and the fact at this point neither game is willing after 5 years to publish a target delivery date is indefensible, at least from a customers point of view.

I AM a paying customer in that case. And i do not mind.
I never cared about the launch date, only that it will be an awesome Sci-Fi game. A sentiment shared by almost all SC backers i know personally.
Have fun
Games like dota and lol are quite often referred to as having toxic playerbases so we can expect the subredit to mirror that. Gamergate, soccer and politics are all very divisive topics so we can expect downvotes to be used as a way to silence opposing opinions.
But Star Citizen is supposed to be innocent and it only happens because it is targeted by a disproportionate numbner of trolls compared to everything else on the list.... yeah right, pull the other one
Even the subreddit where this occurs is more accepting of the situation than people here.
