  Everybody was not, in fact, kung-fu fighting.

  I don’t think people who say “everyone” ever literally means “everyone”. It’s a niche and the hype around old devices is real so the author is just commenting on it. I get hating sensationalized titles but this really isn’t as terrible as you are making it out to be.

    I really didn’t think that:

    a) my article was click-bait (we’re a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally small site, there’s no need to even try click-bait!), and b) I needed to explain that I didn’t mean ‘everyone’

    Glad you can see that, this seems weirdly attack-y.

  If Dash says “everyone’s getting one,” who are you to determine who belongs in that set or if Dash’s lived experience and perceived uptick in PSP purchases is invalid? It’s Dash’s observation that many people are suddenly picking up used PSPs. Chill the heck out, my dawg. Comments like this make the world a genuinely worse place to be.

  EVERYONE is getting one? Bruh, that is simply not the case, don’t make stuff up

  Hyperbole is a rhetorical device
