    The reason the "safe space" analogy doesn't work here is because no one is being excluded from participating in a universal activity. For example, no one is kicking you off of FFXIV servers if you don't like the story the same way you can, say, be arrested for being trans in the wrong places.

    What you're arguing is like an atheist walking into a church to argue whether God exists, being told to leave because they're disrupting the worshippers, claiming that this was unfair and wrong because it doesn't allow free speech, and then creating a new Church of Atheism that kicks out the first person argues that God exists.

    Like I said, if that's what you want to do, then fine. It simply makes you NO BETTER than the people you're criticizing.

    I mean, do what you want. But, I'm not exactly sure how you think arguing this with people who already agree with you "calls out" anything or isn't "taking it lying down".

    Pretty sure I've said that the majority is mean as well, and that I said MOST instances of discussion in this thread are chill.

    I mean, if nothing else, you're proving my point that people are getting over-sensitive when someone dares disagree with the consensus even SLIGHTLY.

    Thanks once again for proving my point that thread-posters tend to dislike back-and-forth arguments which ignore rest of the thread.

    It's absolutely funny that you guys are agreeing with, and confirming, everything I said but want to act like I'm somehow the ignoble party here.

    Teraq literally just explained in the quote above how merely ARGUING with opposition (especially when it's you alone versus a mob) is annoying, tiring and draining. Hell, both you and he have basically just decided to "ignore me" and disengage because you think I'm wrong and disrupting the the thread. Despite the fact, I might add, that your proposed "solution" was to pick one or two people to exclusively argue with on a thread or whatever.

    So let me ask: do you guys like it when people you consider annoying continue to argue with you? Because it seems you think that's what I'm doing.
