A game for 4 year olds

It'ss the worst thing about the approach to moderating that these forums do: they can insult, belittle, dehumanize and hurt everyone they disagree with as loudly as they want, because the only person who's going to have action taken against them is the one that breaks hard enough to swear at them.

Me choosing to not believe someone who has given me no reason to trust their words after all I’ve seen from EW’s defenders is not the same thing as the outright hostility. This is because I am literally not acting hostile towards these people, I am skeptical for reasons I’ve already explained but I shall do so again. I do not feel anything for these people. My expression is a neutral one. I scrutinize and am highly skeptical of everyone I encounter online until I have sufficient evidence to believe their stories. Otherwise I keep a high guard. It would not be the first time an MMORPG player lied about their circumstances.

Perhaps they should have considered that people would not automatically trust their emotionally charged way of trying to win an argument here before deciding to overshare. Again, this isn’t the sort of behavior that I’d expect from mature adults. From my perspective this is not socially appropriate behavior. You may feel free to disagree. I genuinely do not believe that Endwalker has done anyone any favors in terms of helping them process grief, rather it seems it’s given people unrealistic ways of doing so. From the state of the afterlife lore in this game to the stunt the Scions pulled in Ultima Thule with their fakeouts, I found it incredibly disrespectful that they then tried to attach this to the themes they chose.

Ah, that's why I didn't see it. Because he didn't say you were less than human, he said you didn't have a normal human reaction. Regardless of whether I agree or disagree with his assessment, that's not the same as telling someone they're less than human. Is there another quote that you didn't link? If this is the only quote, it honestly sounds like people took what he said, stretched it thin to mean something else and got mad over that new definition. Which isn't surprising as I've seen this happen more times on these forums than I can count. (And I don't just mean the lore subforum, general discussion does this all the time too)

Cool, no respect. Great to know that your words have 0 relevance. I had a perfectly normal reaction to being told my father's death "wasn't true loss" and wasn't grieved over "the right and normal way" which was intense anger because no one grieves the SAME EXACT WAY, on top of the fact that no, I have indeed experienced loss and he's a despicable human for even saying that. But I'm less than human for not being "normal" in his own words. Sure. Keep defending his "takes" I guess.

Oh, the Russian thing. Is that Russian in his sig? I ask, I do not know cyrillic.

It is. It says "Slava Garlemald" in the picture the same vein as people were saying "slava Ukraine" earlier this year. The actual cyrillic text just says his username. My time in my younger years spent studying multiple languages, with Russian included, has finally come in handy!
