What is your opinion on The Sims Community on Twitter? (Do think it is wholesome? Or hateful? Can people express their opinion without being afraid of judgement?)
don't know
it's alright.
hateful.
no opinion
don't use twitter.
never encountered it.
i think it would be great!
i don't use twitter.
i don't use twitter.
very supportive and creative
it's just a part of the community. therefore, it's only one side of the story, whether those are opinions, judgments, critiques, etc.
i see a lot of judgment and fighting, but i only look at the main sims account and the responses there.
i believe it’s wholesome, people connecting on a topic they relate to and sharing ideas, sharing what they’ve created.
i don't use twitter for the sims community, but i know twitter can be a toxic place within the sims community.
i don’t have an opinion as i don’t use twitter.
people express their opinions freely.
it can be hateful towards ea developers, as the latest patches or game releases do not reflect the community's desires for the game. for example, there was a star wars themed release when the community was asking for more specific interactions between the sims, similar to the sims 3 game.
it depends. i just don’t anymore because no matter what it is i get attacked. i don’t think my thoughts have ever been hateful. i once said that ea said they were not going to do any repeats from sims 3. with emojis (😭😭😭) i said that in a post because it made me sad and i was so brutally attacked that i deleted my account.
helpful… if i ever need something, they have my back.
no idea
wholesome, i suppose. i mainly focus on the designs. i haven't encountered anything hateful.
neutral - some people take it too seriously while others make jokes and post lighthearted content.
people like to express their opinions thinking they’re unpopular, but in fact, they aren’t.
i think that people can express their opinion without major judgment unless the opinion is extremely controversial (i.e. people complaining about the new sims update with different pronouns).
posting your opinion anywhere exposes you to judgment in my opinion, especially on a platform like twitter. i would say facebook is much more wholesome and safe for simmers than twitter is.
i think that sometimes people's opinions are dismissed if they don't align with the majority. it can be a positive environment, but unless you share the same mindset as others, your opinions are disregarded.
it can be really extreme. people tend to have a this or that, my way or no way kind of attitude. it is entertaining though.
for the most part, it is wholesome, but recently there has been a lot of hate regarding opinions. people are always arguing about kits and what updates should occur.
i'm not very involved in the community on twitter, but i think it's similar to other social media. there are people who are there just for the community, people who are helpful and share news about the game, and people who are just there to complain and be negative.
of course, every community has hateful and toxic people, but personally, i find the sims community to be very wholesome and kind. all of the sims influencers on social media are very inclusive, open-minded, and kind to one another. a few bad apples are always present, but most of the community is very non-judgmental, especially when compared to other video game or movie communities.
i love the sims community on all platforms, but personally, i find that i end up seeing very similar posts again and again on twitter, whereas on platforms like facebook, i have a greater variety of posts to look at.
wholesome and really funny sometimes.
i think people can express their opinions, but obviously you should not be afraid of a little judgment or criticism.
it's great, no judgment and honest advice and/or opinions.
it's very judgmental and biased toward left politics.
for the most part, it's quite accepting, but there are a few people who were very upset with the new pronoun update, and that was quite revealing.
overall, i think it's a decent place to express your opinion. you may encounter a few hateful or mean people, but i don't believe that's the norm.
i often think that the sims community has higher expectations than are realistic, based on our experience with what we have received from the sims team so far.
every platform has its bad apples, but generally, the sims community is wholesome, helpful, and fun.
i feel like the sims community on twitter has its good and bad sides. i have seen some creators face a lot of backlash for expressing certain opinions. i believe that most opinions can be expressed without judgment, but there will always be people who disagree.
honestly, it's full of hateful leftists who claim to be tolerant, yet if they see you have a different opinion that doesn't align with their ideologies, they become evil, name-call, and call for immediate bans, etc. they are nowhere near wholesome. just watch one of lilsimsie's live streams, and you will see how intolerant she and others really are. talk about true bigots.
my experience is pretty good, but i know that many of my opinions are quite popular. i get most bothered by it when the sims team addresses one thing (e.g., goths refresh, pronouns update) and people complain, "why that thing that brings diversity and not [thing from previous game]?" it's fun when it's memes; it's not fun when it's about opinions on development from people who aren't game developers.
i'm not on twitter, but based on what i've seen on other platforms, the sims community is largely a creative, fun-loving community. like any community, there are some people who take the game incredibly seriously and will lash out at others who may not see the game so positively, and there are some players who always have something bad to say but keep playing nonetheless, making none of us take them that seriously.
there can be some hateful or judgmental people in the sims community, but there’s a lot of hate in the usa about everything. i think whenever the sims team announces anything, the community isn’t happy; they’re never satisfied, they always want more.
there will always be disagreements, communication issues, and general friction in any community due to the nature of having different personalities and opinions gathered to discuss one topic. it is generally wholesome, and people can express their opinions with little fear of judgment beyond what is natural in any discussion forum.
generally wholesome, i love seeing other people's builds and character creation, but it can feel a bit elitist sometimes.
mostly quite judgmental, especially towards the sims team.
very negative from time to time. people always complain about the games as if they are forced to play them.
wholesome but sometimes it is hard to join conversations. also, there tend to be quite strong opinions that everyone shares (e.g., hate for strangerville), and i wouldn't express it if i disagreed!
i don't use twitter, but the community that interacts with the official sims facebook account feels very strongly about something, and if you disagree with them, they treat you like you're an idiot.
it has been mostly positive from what i have seen, but all communities have a bit of hate and discourse now and then.
i think there’s good and bad - much like any online community. but i feel it can sometimes feel a little mob-mentality and even get a bit aggressive sometimes, obviously depending on the situation. i feel discussion can often get political and people do feel strongly about political issues so the above kind of makes sense.
i think that generally across most platforms, the sims community is overwhelmingly positive! people support each other's builds and are really engaged. i think the only times the media can become negative is in response to ea updates or fixes.
i could say that sometimes it is quite wholesome, but i have also found some pretty hateful people there.
