I tried learning Roux, but it just wasn't working for me. I have a cube app where I just learned to solve 2x2 (I dont have one irl)

ZZ and Petrus are also great alternatives. Here's a great guide to choosing a method:

An other thread with Owen saying that roux, petrus and ZZ are inferior.

Nope, not true
They are bad for big cubes.
If you really want to suck at big cubes than you should go with Petrus as it is fast for 3x3 and not a ton worse for big cubes.

You said "people trying to recommend inferior methods"
And we're not talking about big cubes.

yeah because you want people to use some other method so you make sure to not say any of the bad parts of it.

Dudefaceguy just listed out some methods and how intuitive they were, and when he said Roux wasn't for him, I said that ZZ and Petrus were also options, and that he should use the Method Choosing Guide (don't even start about that again). No one said "use this method". We just listed out the options. Also, side note, when was the last time you actually researched about big cube varaints for Roux, ZZ, Petrus, ect.? They do exist, and have potential.
Wait that sentence doesn't make sense. If you really want to suck at big cubes, you should use a method that you say isn't that bad for big cubes?

I never even expressed interest in learning big cubes. I just said I'm doing 3x3 and I learnt 2x2 virtually. And even if the other methods are bad, I'll move on. They're just tryna help.

So I'm rereading all of these posts because I saw @PetrusQubers member intro. I was so cringe. And saying Roux wasnt for me? 4 months later and I'm doing a month of Roux which I'm really liking.This thread kinda became a method debate ending with me expressing how loving (is that the right word?) I am of the community. When I posted that, I could not have been convinced that toxicity in cubing exists. Wow I was naive. The again, I was new. And its not like I dislike the community now. Looking back at this thread, I have grown as a cuber more than I thought. Can't wait to come back to this thread and cringe in a few months. Also I'm stating this on the record for Future Me. My PB is 15.25.

Definitely this. I have seen so many new members burned by these dumb arguments. Methods are mostly personal preference, okay? PetrusQuber, Tao Yu (and more) has shown you can get fast with Petrus. For the big three, countless people have gotten fast with all of them. What's really sad is that you might of burned the next Feliks, or Max, or Shawn, or just someone who loves cubing. What if someone you turned away with you dumb arguments could of been someone who frequents the forums? Just stop being dumb and let people have a little free will. Even if someone makes an objectively bad decision, it's not your job as random internet person to be their parents. Just really fed up with this. Please stop.
