People use food analogies because there is not a single person on this planet that doesn't eat. It's a convenient surrogate subject for the idea of consuming something, quite often a product, and it works. It's just a vessel for a message where the vessel itself hardly matters.

Maybe if you were smart they wouldn't have to be drawing analogies for you to understand their point in the first place.

But I get it, it's just too common and you just have to go out of your idea to scream to everybody how much of a special snowflake going against the trends you are for instantly dismissing something that's all about context without analyzing its own. That's the way of every modern internet pseudo-intellectuals unique snowflake, which are quite many and pretty much everywhere ironically.

Fuck off fattie

This thread is like when you order McDonald's at the drive thru and when you get home you realize they not only forgot to remove the pickles and add extra cheese to your McDouble, but they also gave you 19 and not 20 chicken nuggets because they'd have to fry the other one as well as giving you BBQ and not honey mustard: not video games

This is like when you go through the McDonald's drive through and have a bit of banter with the lad at the next window with your order

That was actually pretty funny.

Sounds like nitpicking to me. This seems to me more like one of those things a person with autism would say.
>user 1: paying for online is like going to a mediocre restaurant that pays for refills when a better restaurant is right down the street.
user 2: ZOMG, XBOX IS NOT A RESTAURANT YOU RETARDED WEEABOO FUCK, DELETE THIS!

You know what we mean, nigger.

...

It's like when the only pizza place in town is really crappy, but you never want to order chinese, or anything else when you're with a group of people, because there's always someone who doesn't like it. So every time you end up going with the crappy delivery pizza because everyone is "fine" with pizza.
Food analogies are like that.

there's nothing wrong with a food analogy in and of itself, but the only analogies that have ever been posted have been bait ones (such as the one you posted) that strawman an argument nobody made, attack statements nobody has said, and do nothing but shit up threads for (You)'s

but you know exactly what you're doing, because you did exactly that, except it's not someone else's thread so who the fuck cares

post ponies

Sean Murray lied. no one expected sprinkles on chicken either.

I agree that many Sup Forums goers are too autistic to comprehend or accept analogies.

But I think paying for online is more like paying to sit down at the restaurant.

>user who agrees with my point: I form calm sentences that seem intelligent and reasonable.

>user who doesn't agree with my point: ZOMG I'M A FUCKING IDIOT AND I ALSO YELL IN CAPS LOCK AND EAT CUM AND I USE SWEAR WORDS FUCKER

Do you realize how much of a fucking baby this makes you?

>user 1: Learning how to program games just to make your own due to your disappointment with modern video games is like moving to Korea to raise your own daughter for fucking because white women don't like you
>user 2: HOLY FUCK, THIS IS MISOGYNISTIC, ALSO GAMES ARE NOT WOMEN, STOP THAT!

You want them to go away, just ignore them. They're paid to come here and defend the game, generate conversation about it, and post pictures their marketing agency gave them to help them blend in because we've all caught onto their shit. Saging with your response doesn't give a bump with your reply, but better yet dont reply at all even if you see them talking to eachother.

complaining about food analogies is just the easiest way to "discredit" a post you disagree with without addressing their points or arguments. it is quite literally "not an argument."

like saying "YOU'RE A FUCKING WHITE MALE" or "IT'S 2016" with nothing further.

*tips tinfoil*

you did this again retard

>Sup Forums suddenly hates food analogies
What the fuck happened?

Okay guys, now I'm Sup Forums as fuck. But even I have to admit we've been too harsh on food analogies.

You pretty much nailed it. Hating on food analogies is becoming a meme at this point, even if said analogy is accurate.

none of them have been accurate, they've all been shitposting memes like the OP pic

That's what I mean. Food analogies are free (you)'s because memes, so shitposters create shitty analogies to get them.

There are perfectly valid reasons to dislike food analogies in general, due to few common flaws they all share.

Imagine you're at a nice restaurant with a friend. You've both ordered drinks and you are deciding on a main course when you realize you really need to piss. You can't hold it in any longer and you can't decide on a meal because everything on the menu looks pretty good, so you tell your friend to order something for you while you run off to the bathroom, confident that he can pick something you like.

When you get back to the table, your friend tells you he ordered you a caeser salad. In truth, you are disappointed by this as you have most restaurants do not add raw egg and anchovy paste to the caeser salad dressing to give it it's characteristic zest, instead serving lettuce covered in oil and cold parmesan, without even any bacon bits. You communicate this information to your friend, asking him politely to not repeat this mistake, but he gets defensive.

He says that you don't know what recipe this restaurant uses, that they could use one that panders to your "elitist tastes", as he puts it. You tell him this is unlikely, as in many areas it is illegal to serve raw egg in restaurants, dooming customers to low quality salads. In fact, it is legal to serve raw eggs where your are due to local bylaws, but since neither of you know that it isn't important. Your friend seemingly interprets your argument as a personal attack on him. He tells you he didn't know that you didn't want caeser salad, you tell him you love a good caeser, but he's given you a bad one. He tells you that one salad is as good as any other, and you admonish his poor taste.

Your friend is upset now. He stands up, shouting. "You're a smug elitist prick! I can't read your mind, so why would I know exactly what you want!". You've had enough. Just because he didn't know he was making a mistake does not make him innocent, and he tries to pull this shit all the time. You open your mouth, and a decade of pent up resentment and buried rage pours out. You don't know exactly what you said, but afterwards everyone in the restaurant is staring at you silently. Your friend hangs their head, shaking. You think you see tears on his face.

The salad comes. You don't eat it. Your friend doesn't eat either. You leave first, sticking your friend with the bill. You don't care. You don't see him again for a month.

When you see him again, you greet each other warmly. You apologize for expecting him to know what you wanted, and he apologizes for not taking responsibility for his mistakes. You agree that maybe it was a good thing you fought. Maybe now that you know all the ways you have slighted each other, you can be more respectful in the future. Maybe the reason people don't like food analogies is because they are typically only superficially related to the subject at hand, and almost never actually offer insight into issues or even function as a argument, you gigantic fucking retard.

wtf i hate food analogies now?

no, it's the exact opposite
shitposters have used food analogies incorrectly and made it so the very site of a food analogy is met with disdain BECAUSE OF the shitposters

>due to few common flaws they all share.


>Imagine you're at a nice restaurant with a friend

Stopped reading and keked a little in my mouth.
