<Something>ように<可能形>程度には<something else>


I've studied Japanese for years and I've never come across this expression
before. I saw this in a Twitch chat and the full quote was the following (I
was the one who asked the thing in 「」 brackets):

> 「ゲーム以外には何か趣味がありますか？」軽く煽られてるように見える程度には汚れてしまった

If I'm not mistaken "/the quote/ 軽く煽られてるように見える" means "when someone says /the
quote/, it looks like this person is trying to slightly agitate (you)". And
when you end a sentence with 程度には汚れてしまった at the end, I think it means the
speaker has experienced whatever is said before that (in this case, a phrase
that apparently is being used to agitate people..?) so much that this person
have come to only associate this thing with something negative (煽られてる).

But this is only a guess... Can someone break this down for me please?




You are completely correct.

In Japan(or at least Japanese Heavy Internet User), we even think "nice try"
as something negative. It's just like that.

This is a bad culture in the old internet world(it still is though). On 2ch
(now 5ch), a BBS we used to use a lot, there was a lot of behavior of putting
others down in a roundabout way. In my opinion, the real origin of this
behavior comes from the (now rarely seen) disposition of Kyoto people.

The reason that streamer thought that your sentence is agitating him/she, is
because he/she probably thought that sentence as "You're doing this
(streaming) because you have no hobbies other than gaming, right?"

I would even think so if I was him/she, sadly.
