Feeling like you need a safe space while claiming to hold the opinions of a silent majority is very sussy behaviour. This is why I'm genuinly concerned, because it seems these people's reaction to endwalker and it's discourse has twisted their psychology to a point which i don't just concider unhealthy, but socially ruinous. I first researched this because someone argued with me on a youtube comment like their lives depended on it. I'm not afraid to admit I'm a pretty sensitive person, so I was actually kinda shaken by the response. Like, it's fine to have an unpopular opinion, but that's an inherently painful thing to some extent, as endwalker sort of points out. I don't believe in retributitive justice, and there are pretty much no interpersonal safe spaces for that position that doesn't collapse when someone has a bad day. I accept that and move on. I don't try to convince myself I have an army of allies in the shadows. If being critical of Venat gets you ostracised from social media, then you have to admit it's a minority opinion.
The issue is with the terminology of minority vs majority with people assuming there’s nothing in the middle. Tbh though idk what it is with this trend of victim shaming. Someone i know literally had their own personal life harassed because they didn’t agree with Venat’s actions(as well as doxxing). It’s just that people here have an obsession with attributing any opinion they dislike as being in the minority as to silence others. We literally have people in here complaining about people talking about Venat….in a thread that is literally about a video talking about Venat. You can see the people in this very thread trying to silence others. It’s ridiculous.
