And you know what? I don't entirely disagree with his analogy.
(Looks at both quote portraits) Did you quote your alt? Anywho-

I mean, yeah? That part right there just so accurately and succinctly described the main ffxiv reddit. And I'm almost so sure that's where majority of these viewers are active and congregate to. FFS, a mod at the main reddit had to post a notice in that thread complaining about the Alpha bike mount and basically telling the community there to grow the F up and stop making hundreds of reports against people mildly critical about the game... To be fair, I'll never know the metrics here but I highly doubt they're as bad.

They like to poke fun at these official forums and point out all the issues with posters, attitudes, and (lack of) moderation here, and to be fair, a good bit of it it warranted, but they also need to take a hard look at themselves and see the echo chamber of fanatical praise and aggressive positivity that's almost enforced over there.

Still don't really know or care about Asmon; don't bother watching any streamers (this isn't an interesting enough game to watch be played, imo), but it puzzles me why some people are so invested in what certain individuals say or think about a game that they feel the need to make threads about it in seemingly "gotcha" attempts. Granted, I know it's almost always disingenuous intentions.
