Rewritten MSQ - Garlemald and EW

[Knot_D]

I'm not provoking anyone, just reacting accordingly, but if that makes you feel better, sure, have me as the bad guy in your next fantasy...

If you are defending Venat in this forum, they will begin to attack you in every direction and keep explaining why Venat bad Emet good. It's useless to discuss EW lore in this forum...

How do you figure? Some of us were genuinely interested in OP's writing and simply shared our perspectives. Do I find the concept presented for Venat interesting to consider? Sure. Do I harbor any remote desire to "attack" those who prefer how she was written in EW? Not even slightly. No need for blanket accusations, all the more when there's your own attack that read rather unpleasantly:

Ew, stop putting my mom into a villains there!

What a "respectful" response to someone creatively expressing their ideas instead of simply agreeing to disagree and politely going on your way.

How thin your skin is if you took that as "unpleasantly" response to OP's writing. But again, another proof to avoid "lore people".

I wouldn’t call it pleasant. But you’ve gone from, “Everyone here will attack you if you defend Venat,” to “Everyone who discusses lore should be avoided.” From extreme to extreme. A differing opinion doesn’t immediately equate to “attacking” someone. Venat is a character. Regardless of how we perceive how she was written/rewritten, we can still be respectful about it.

They may be extreme but they're grounded in things seen often here. Expressing you like aspects of the game that the loud folks here hate is a quick way to get you crapped on. Or folks will just call your standards low or accuse you of holding the game back. Respect on these forums only seems to come when you agree with folks about what they dislike.

Just saying...anhaato is a prime contender for what I'm talking about, yet you don't see anyone who shares his thoughts calling him out for being toxic and disrespectful. I can only think of one reason why.

This is basically it. It's not a matter of "I disliked X or Y and here is my reasoning" and keeping it centered around themselves. It's "I don't like this and YOU shouldn't either and you're low or base or uncultured or don't care about the game if you don't feel the same". That's not debating in good faith. That's just trying to ram your personal opinion down other people's throats.

It's quite fascinating that a poster who referred to people wanting consequences in the story as 'psychopaths' and another who branded a certain female miqo'te to be a 'parasite' are pretending to be so hard done by.

Oh I didn't even realize you namedropped me here, I just immediately scroll past your posts as soon as I see your icon. My response is; get out of the kitchen if you can't take the heat. Don't talk shit if you don't want the smoke. Joking ways of saying this aside, you cannot seriously expect to be treated with respect after you display a clear lack thereof in my direction from the jump. Or, let me guess, it's only ok for the superior story enjoyers to act in such a way to the inferior story haters?

When did I talk shit though? You throw smoke at dang near EVERYONE who disagrees with you whether they're being respectful or not. Lets be real here. You continue to do this because as ive already said folks here co sign and agree with you. Folks calling people "ill equipped and uneducated" doesn't help worth anything but that stuff is immediately called out and piled on, yet the same isn't done on the ther side. Im not the only one to notice this.

Also where did I claim or even infer story enjoyers are superior and story dislikers are inferior? I'm not the one telling folks if they don't like the story they have crap tastes like others have said about story enjoyers. Your guess has no foundation.
