"Everyone's so open and friendly" is a lie

[Oscura]

What are you even talking about? The replies are exactly what the OP is asking for and now you think they'd be afraid or don't want to engage?

OP wants the ability to openly disagree with someone without feeling like they'll be ostracized or punished for it. The fact that there are replies either saying they're in the wrong element or accusing them of wanting something worse is hardly what I'd call "What they asked for." There's a difference between saying "Actually, my experience hasn't been the same and I've mostly had a good time." Vs "OP, maybe be more mature and not resort to arguments etc," or "Sorry you can't be a jerk in this game OP."

Again, the accusation of passive aggressiveness. Maybe I've missed them, but the responses that I've seen are ordinary responses that the OP can engage with. In fact, others are doing it for the OP.

There are people implying the OP is either childish or immature in multiple posts by insinuating that they cannot solve situations like, "an adult." How is that not passive aggressive? Passive aggressive does not imply nor does it mean that you cannot engage with it. Passive aggression is the act of making a backhanded comment, or talking behind someone's back, or sarcasm in general. You can "engage" with all of that.

If the OP is asking to be allowed to have "fights and arguments," then they've got them, at least the latter anyway. If they are "absolutely disgusted" when people suddenly refuse to speak, then they shouldn't be silent in their own thread. No one can shut the OP down, only the OP and the GMs.

I think people are focusing far too hard on "fights and arguments," and immediately drawing their own conclusions. People in the first few posts even told OP they should try to debate instead. When you debate...you present arguments. Which is why I said I think OP poorly presented their opinion, because they most likely meant, in general, disagree with people, not the act of directly attacking or inciting a verbal beatdown. A lot of people associate "debating," with fighting an arguing with just an extra coat of paint. I think we should focus less on the semantics.

Also, OP said they were disgusted when people would act like they enjoyed one's company or engage with them, only to totally ghost them the next. It's not the same as them ghosting a forum post where they expressed their own concerns.
