This Community gets too worked up over people who DONT LIKE the story

If you skip all cutscenes how can you even have an opinion on the story?
You won’t even know what’s happening.
If you are still going about all those places saying story is bad while not knowing what’s going on then you’re probably deliberately antagonising people.

Yoooou, do realize that the OP never said they skipped cutscenes, or that they are not interested in the story, yes? You can find a story very bad yet be interested in discussing how it could have been good.

Did you not read the OP? First paragraph says they don't like the story and skip every cutscene.

This community gets worked up over A LOT of things, not just people who dislike the story.

Sprout: "Game looks fun but I just can't get into the story."

Literally Everyone: "IT GETS BETTER IN HEAVENSWARD. WAIT TILL YOU HIT HEAVENSWARD THEN THE STORY GETS GOOD."

Sprout: "Ehh, I'm just not interested. I think i'm gonna buy a story skip."

But you can't deny that the story is a really sore spot in this community.
Someone saying that they didn't like the story or even started skipping cutscenes halfway because it didn't seem to go into the direction that would interest them or let alone buy a story skip is often met with a "Then why are you even playing this game? Everyone knows that the story is the selling point" or more aggressive versions like "This game is for story-lovers go back to WoW if you don't like reading and just want to skip to 'endgame' lol".
I haven't seen many people here that can deal in a mature way with someone not liking or even skipping the story that they personally loved.

I personally don't care. Like the story or not. Like a character or not. Doesn't affect me or my enjoyment. I do like talking about things as long as all participants don't treat their own opinion as the ultimate truth.
I'm surrounded by Zenos fans on a discord while I don't like the character one bit. They accept that I don't like him, I accept that they do like him. No reason to get worked up or even telling people how they should enjoy the game. If someone plays FFXIV just to take their Fat Cat minion on a walk, who am I to tell them that this isn't the point of the game?

The worst part of the community isn't even the defense of the MSQ. It's when you try and have a conversation regarding the lore they'll pull out "Stop skipping cutscenes" if you make a mistake like you're supposed to remember every line of dialog in 90 hours of story.
