>i'd like to be able to admit to people that i read the doom threads on /vr/, they're not like 4chan's reputation

This is a bit of a catch-22. 4chan's reputation is so ingrained into anything it produces that simply mentioning its name to the average denizen will bring up images of depravity of the worst kind. Even the saner boards like /vr/ and /tg/ aren't immune to this--4chan is 4chan.
So by admitting that you go to 4chan to people, you're inherently associating yourself with it. Even if they're "not like 4chan's reputation" (which is false, since we've always had our ups and downs), just saying that you go to /vr/ and 4chan is enough.

Even if you specify that it's only the Doom threads, well, that only makes it look a bit more sad. See, you're basically saying out of an entire website, out of all the boards available, out of the many topics, you're admitting that you read only one thread.
Not exactly something you want to say.

>it's okay if the person created something good

I'm sure we could go back and forth about the merit of the creator's personality and likability if the work in question is good.
But Edward is not only a faggot, but ZDoom's netplay is patently terrible.

Being a P2P-based shit-fest means it suffers from the same problems Korean free-to-play shooters do--i.e. it relies entirely on everyone's individual net capability to support it, rather than a beefy server. Rather than one good net connection, you have four "okay" to "mediocre" net connections, and that's even assuming you can grab four people without desynching come next map.

ZDoom's netplay relies entirely on three things:
A: Whether your internet connection is stellar, while Zandronum is playable even with 300 ping.
B: Whether the moon is in proper alignment and allowed you to jump through all of the hoops needed to set it up perfectly fine without any mysterious issues that tells you nothing.
and
C: Whether you develop for it.*

*: And then dismiss everyone's criticisms with "nobody has told me my netplay is terrible" and then smugly blow people off who have a problem with "works for me" or "the problem is on your end :V"
