This is exceptionally condescending Theodric.

You're free to believe as much, though I merely wish for a return to meaningful consequences and actual stakes. Cheap and predictable emotionally manipulative tropes do very little to excite me and I shall not pretend as if they do.

You’re allowed your feelings, but the insults and denigrations were and will remain unnecessary.

Again, each to their own - I certainly wouldn't consider the post in question to be riddled with insults. It was more of an observation of an established trend!

My posting style isn't going to be everybody's cup of tea though given that tone policing rarely leads to anything beyond perpetually moving goalposts and increasing double standards, I must confess to having very little interest partaking in it.
