Yoshi-P Statement on Player Feedback

[SenorPatty]

Tone policing is often a method exploited to shut down opposing viewpoints. More often than not, it pays little heed to differences in background, personality and culture. Or the simple fact that English is not everybody's first language.

So long as a post isn't in violation of the terms of service, I don't think it's really of much benefit for a subsection of customers to try and dictate how feedback is presented.

Furthermore, in my experience just because someone is a little brash or hot headed it does not mean that they are a terrible person. Such individuals are often prone to passion and sticking up for others even if they disagree with those self same individuals.

On the other hand, I've found that many of those eager to police thought, tone and opinions are amongst the first to drive a dagger into someone's back so long as they stand to gain something from doing so.

Exceptions exist in both cases, of course...so take it with a pinch of salt.

Bro,

You really gonna say that if someone can't say something without insulting someone, that's thought policing? Is it really that hard for someone to be neutral/civil and say "this ain't right" instead of "this ain't right, dumbass"?

Yikes.

I think that is a rather deceptive take on my post, or at least missing a key element:

You're right, that was deceptive. Now I've confirmed that long as I can say hurtful things without breaking ToS-and believe me, some forumers have been pretty expert at that- it's fine.

Big Yikes.

You're free to believe as such if you so wish, though that wasn't at all what I stated or implied in my post and I daresay that there's no shortage of individuals in the current era who rather than admit that they jumped to conclusions or misread something will instead double down and pretend as if their perceived opposition is completely unreasonable.
