Club Penguin’s Star Wars Takeover Trailer Dislikes Not From Penguins – They’re From Trolls
A lot of you have seen my post where I brought to attention the very large amount of dislikes on Club Penguin’s Star Wars Takeover Cinematic Trailer. While without a doubt some of the dislikes are from penguins who are not looking forward to the party, a large majority of those dislikes come from non Club Penguin players – they’re from adults. I suspected (and accidentally forgot to mention in the post because it slipped my mind) that most of the video’s dislikes originate from Star Wars fans who don’t play Club Penguin and are not fond of the idea. The video was posted to the official Star Wars Twitter account for example. Not just penguins follow Star Wars on Twitter, a wide variety of ages and video game players do.
Join the adventure! We're taking over @clubpenguin starting July 25th. http://t.co/kVOZApNgTf

While I had no way of truly knowing the source of the dislikes, Club Penguin does with their video statistics. Spike Hike shared a little bit of information about that with me to clear things up. He told me a majority of the video’s dislikes are originating from a website that is filled with trolls – those who like to mess with people. Trolling can have many different definitions, but it always comes down to messing with people, like you’re antagonising them. Some troll in a way similar to bullying while others like me just mess around with friends simply to have a few laughs, only messing with them because they’re okay with it. In this case however it was done to mess with Club Penguin.
With that cleared up, it looks like most penguins are looking forward to the party. Without a doubt though not everyone enjoys the takeovers and I’m sure Club Penguin is working to change things based on the community’s feedback. One thing this does not clear up is the deleted top comments, but nevertheless it puts the biggest issue to rest. I look forward to seeing more of the party and I can’t wait to check it out once it’s released later this month!
Some of the takeovers are fun, but disney/CP needs to do fewer of them. Advertising has led to the downfall of so many fun online games.
And the still CP says that not does ads from third parties…
Oh! That makes sense. I was wondering why the Club Penguin community had gone all crazy.
Sorry but no, I don’t give out codes that require a paid purchase.
Completely Agree
Trainman, do you mean a troll like this one:

xD
Yes :P
Yeah i kind of like the party but having it on disney is weird
When does the Augustus Gloop takeover come out?
The what?
Oh, that would be funny, xD
Agreed!
That would be so funny but why would cp bring something totally out of their mind crazy for a takeover? P.S Really funny sigestion.
That makes a LOT more sense. It’s kind of just annoying that people that aren’t even playing Club Penguin are disliking it. I mean, really?
I disliked it and i play CP…
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and wow!
True! Very true!
A troll Like Coolpool Then XD
The only time I ever trolled someone was when I told them a fly landed on one of their last chips, so they dropped it. Then I yelled “TROLLED!” at them, and he got all confused. I also know a guy who was once having issues with someone, so he hacked the other guy’s site, deleted everything, and put the troll face on it. Anyway, I can understand why they’d all dislike it. Trolls are so annoying sometimes.
I kind of thought so.
I love Star Wars and most of my friends do too.
One of my cousins says there are too many fights, but Star Wars is different.
yeah ok but still im not going to enjoy the star wars takeover if only if it was in August or late this year ill be ok with it. but just not in July…
This is probably how the people trolled Disney…P.S. I did the rage comic http://cheezburger.com/7640616448
Lol! Great job!
Haha, I almost laughed out loud at that. I like how you used SpongeBob clips. That made it even funnier.
Thanks guys. And thanks Trainman for sharing it on Twitter, mentioning me :)
You’re welcome! I wasn’t gonna pass it off as mine and I figured it’d be better to tag you in the tweet rather than just saying your penguin name. :)
Coming to an island near you:
The Disney Club Penguin Semptember 2013 Troll Takeover! “D
Leave Club Penguin alone dumb grown ups and go troll someplace else
Trolls, yeah right. They just say so.
Trainman,I think the trolls come from [removed]. That’s a site full of trolls.
Yes, that’s where they are from. I did not mention the website’s name in my post because it is not a kid appropriate website. That’s why I removed the name of the website from your comment. I hope you don’t mind. :)
What is the site Trainman? Leave an email to me to my Gmail. Its shown over there already
Sorry but no, I’m not giving it out to anyone.
I also know the place,but I don’t know it at the same time!I only know it has 9 guys who are very funny and clever,and they always like to make a GAG sometimes.
No,it’s okay. I forgot that site is full of bad things ;P
Spike Hike literally distorted the image that the children of Club Penguin: a place where we have fun, now when I log in, no one speaks, Club Penguin may take less than three years before closing :(
(i am not from troll ;) )
Why nobody speaks to you?
They speak to me all the time and im not a member and cant spell very good yet
XD FROM TROLLS! ROFL LOL!!!!
Sounds wrong when you say it… xP

Train, look at this:

Click ‘Older Posts >>’ then click on the one that is named: “New code!”
^ Did you see my above message???
Yep. Just been too busy to go through all the site comments since I was out of town. I have been aware of that code since day one. :)
Ok I am ok with the EPF takeovers but when I heard it was Star Wars I was like yeah no I’m with Star Wars but its like more for you boys out there or like older kids so I may not be at the party sorry CP
Hmm I can understand why some non club penguin fans and more Star Wars fans dislike this. But now Disney has taken over Star Wars so now about those old star wars fans. They might not like the newer generation.
WE WANT THE OLD CLUB PENGUIN BACK !! WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP !!!
