Filtering yourself out is fine. Being filtered out is not.
Not to be overly pedantic, but literally billions of people got filtered out. The only people who passed the filter are people who presumably play FFXIV and care enough to visit its forums, and were filtered into the English forums based on their preferred language, and had enough interest in a DPS role to check this forum specifically.

imo that's relatively acceptable because this discussion is irrelevant to the vast majority of humankind and also because that same group has no idea what the topic being discussed even entails, but the same is true when filtering intentionally.

Why ask players who don't play FFXIV what they think about Kaiten? Why ask players who've never played samurai or ever actually used Kaiten what they think about Kaiten? In short, if someone has no idea what they're talking about, why consider their opinion?

Where to set the threshold is a valid question, but there IS a threshold, whether we like it or not - the argument is where it should be, not whether or not there should, or even will, be one.
