...I was talking about you. Under no circumstances is it ever acceptable to fly into an absolute rage and respond like that because you feel slighted against or attacked. You might feel hurt, or frustrated, or misunderstood by what people say, and that's normal, but the way in which you perceive what you hear and how very deeply and personally you take it is incredibly aggressive and concerning, to the point if I knew you in real life, I would feel quite wary. You take remarks on your posts and behaviour as attacks on you and can't differentiate between the two, and you also need to learn that while you may say one thing, that is not how it is coming across or appearing to someone else. Sometimes unconscious biases can seep through you're not aware of, and at times like that, perhaps reflect on what you hear rather than screaming at everyone else.

I'm also going to offer you some advice here, and I hope you will take this as advice and heed it, and not an attack: consider seeking professional help. If by any chance you are the good person you are purporting yourself to be, then I think a lot of it is being lost in personal issues you might not realise you're carrying. I really do mean this with the best of intentions, for you and those around you.

Are we still pretending this entire thread is just "hate" when the criticism is now being largely shared by the community across the board? Why would it be any different when if anything, most people actually agree the story has taken a stark downward slope since Endwalker?

This is what everybody here has been saying: mindlessly tarring everything said here with the same brush to lump it into one dismissive category is not reasoned discussion, and acting shocked when you get a rebuttal is silly on the face it.
