Zepla: Endwalker is the Worst FFXIV Expansion I have played

[ty_taurus]

She could have used a title like "My Feelings about Endwalker" and avoided the drama altogether. The title used sets the impressions she's going to go on a rant about how terrible the game is and there are plenty of people out there who are going to use it as such regardless of what she says in the video.

Using a borderline clickbait title like that might get her more views but it also generates more misconceptions and controversy.

Why does someone need to use gentle language to express their opinions though? If it's been the worst expansion she's experienced, why is it a crime for her to say that? It's also not a rant. With nearly every discussion point, she talks about the positives before talking about the negatives. That is literally the definition of appropriate and healthy criticism.

The same people would have zero problems if EW was their best expansion ever

Should we go around telling people BG3 potentially being GOTY is “too harsh language” and it should be “my thoughts on BG3”

Because it's an opinion they disagree with.

The goalposts will be moved infinitely no matter how criticism is worded here; Someone could be as gentle and positive as humanly possible, and they would just move the goal posts further and accuse the person of being patronizing or sarcastic.

They aren't genuinely concerned about the tone of the criticism; It's just a bad faith tactic to try undermine a message they don't agree with.

In fairness, she did rant a little bit, but not excessively so. Personally, I probably wouldn't have been able to contain myself even half as well as she did. She was definitely holding back just a little to keep it relatively civil. As someone who is also frustrated with the current state of the game, I completely understand.

How the GCBTW see it as a threat when she expresses her body language about the game:
