Honestly this is just as easy as taking a stroll daily at the most popular media sites. And since I'm an extreme loser who partakes in reading up numerous tweets and reddit posts and Tumblr pages and YouTube videos, I've come to the conclusion that there is more praise for EW than hate or distaste.

Now really me saying this doesn't mean much of anything since it's not as if I'm going around gathering data or research but it's mostly the experience I've had so far.

Ah yes, the most popular media sites. Such as Reddit where your posts will get downvoted to hell if you don't fall in line with the echo chamber, and if by some insane chance that your post climbs back out of downvote hell, the mods will just delete your post even if you haven't broken any rules. Or like Twitter and YouTube where you'll get 0 interaction unless you have a pre-existing follower base built, and such people who do have followers have incentives to stay within the realm of 'positivity' as that's the best way to stay on SE's good side and thus get access. (Ever wonder why SE invites Mr Sim- I mean Mr Happy to every in-person event but doesn't invite more honest streamers like Xenos?) The official forums is one of the only places that doesn't act as an echo chamber and doesn't try to instantly shut down dissenting opinions (although some people try and fail, including you in this very thread) so I'm not surprised you haven't found much elsewhere.

(BTW, I thought you didn't care about this thread? Why are you back? Is the thread less pointless than you initially thought?)

Xenos? Ive watched his stream.

Mr Happy more than likely does not want a foul mouthed, acid tongued and aggressive "streamer" anywhere near his feed. Xenos has also been banned previously..recently did a video on the TOS with F bombs thrown around frequently.

Im not surprised he hasnt been invited..maybe when he learns to control his foul language, that may change. His ban on Twitch? Was for excessive and "vulgar" language..which is an understatement since he seems to have the manners of a fishwife.

You do NOT behave that way in Japanese culture.

Someone only believes the hype.

Xenos is a big baby who used to (still does?) throw tantrums whenever WAR wasn't the most amazing Tank job.

I don't know why anyone wastes time on him anymore.

I mean, Xenos did get invited and went to the ShB media tour...

That was before he got banned for harassing people on stream.

[Amenara]

He was still Xenos before being banned, he was still Xenos after. SE knew his personality before they invited him.

I can link the video if you like. Ive seen it. And yes he did get banned for..wait for it....his foul mouth and attitude.

They were talking about your frankly ridiculous statement about japanese culture. If they don't take Xenos, it's because he's bad for PR.
No, japanese people aren't particularly more polite, especially in video game fan circles. When Yoshi-P complained about toxicity towards the devs, do you think he was talking about western players? Have you ever heard of 5ch (literally the inspiration for 4chan)?
