People are allowed to watch cutscenes.

If people are being rude to people who watch cutscenes, report them.

The. End.

There is no further need to argue about this. People can and HAVE gotten banned and suspended for being rude jerks in DF groups demanding people skip cutscenes and cussing at people who don't.

Long story short, don't do it. Make your own group if you want a speed run.
