"Lack of content"... Minor housing rant

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

It's gatekeeping in the sense of it being a common tactic to try and deflect and downplay criticism. It assumes that people hate the game and I believe it has been pointed out by a number of posters across numerous threads that just because someone speaks up against one or some elements of the game then that hardly means they're eager to up and leave.

In short, many of the complaints come from people who care about the game and want to see it improve. Whereas, from what I've seen, a lot of the people trying to stifle criticism will seek to either maintain the status quo at all costs or they're so easily pleased that even blatant issues such as the Hrothgar hairstyle situation will not ruffle their feathers in the slightest.

Or they mistake their own lack of caring for a particular aspect of the game as the default stance everybody should take.

Its not Deflecting or Downplaying Criticism by any stretch of the imagination to suggest X game might not be for you. You are still able to voice concerns despite anybody elses thoughts. One side can have theirs, and the other side can have theirs. Both Sides are Valid.
Ill never understand why one side is able to criticize and tell people its ok to Criticize and voice their opinion, but then tell the other side they aren't allowed to have one for not agreeing with you, and act like them not agreeing with you is an attempt at silencing you. It just...makes no sense.

Whats wrong with people being happy? Its funny how even threads that are positive of the game get met with Venom of "How dare you be happy, the game has all these problems"
or insert how I dont like this. Then just sit here and call people Shills, cult members and stuff for enjoying the game and not having the same complaints.
There are people out there who can find joy in things despite issues, or literally said issue doesn't effect them....why not just let them have it? Its an issue for you, voice it...but dont sit there and get all upset because someone else doesn't have the same issue.
