They don't know what they don't know. They can't know whether or not parsers will have any sort of negative effect unless they've had a proper testing group or put it out in the wild, they have done neither. The fact of the matter is that everyone is scared of a boogeyman that hardly exists.

I'm just telling the OP to accept the fact that parsers will realistically never be officially supported, the reasoning as to why ultimately does not matter and is completely down to opinion. Yoshida also promised personal housing separate from FC housing, the dev team released "release ninja," which was hilariously broken, I could go on about their mistakes. They are not infallible and their words aren't fact. Regardless of all of that, unless he or the community changes their mind it will realistically never happen. He's fine with playing the gray area and completely freeing himself of responsibility and letting ACT exist in the meantime, hypocritically.

It's so weird to even get this reply. I assume you don't want parsers, yet even in my post I mention that parsers will realistically never be officially supported. I am essentially agreeing with you, yet because I didn't say it the specific way you wanted me to, you are generalizing me as part of the "parser brigade." It's just odd. You mention that the "parser brigade" only wants to see their side of it, yet you label me because I said something in a way you dislike. Pot calling kettle black?
