What Zero Could've Been

I'm sorry, but when a man says women shouldn't have "unwarranted" confidence to begin with in a story, can only be sassy if they look like Bayonetta and is incensed that current demonic female characters are daring to not be sexy, all while continually tearing into Y'shtola because she supposedly isn't attractive enough to justify how she acts and complaining endlessly that the female charaters aren't stereotypically hot enough, the men are too weak and essentially that no one looks or behaves comfortably heterosexual enough for his tastes, were you genuinely expecting a nuanced, respectful response to this? It's like asking people to bring formal dinnerware to someone serving a flaming bag of excrement on their doorstep.

Getting a reaction anyone with common sense should rightfully expect when spouting subtly sexist and homophobic nonsense is neither "brigading" nor "hating." It's the same rhetoric every time, he just finds a new target for it.

I'm not defending the OP, in fact I've made it quite clear that I'm not endorsing or condemning it. But if this reaction towards Aveyond isn't hate, then why are similar reactions to bad things coming from the other side then classified as 'hate'? Why are the people calling out Lyth for her crap called 'haters' for doing so, but your group responding with an equal amount of vitriol to Aveyond suddenly just people who disagree?

I feel like I'm missing something, how does that make sense in this context?

I said that Aveyond would get similar comments to the ones from here if he made a thread where he said the sky was blue, as it's not about what he says, people just don't like him as a poster, Zanarkand responded with saying that he thought people wouldn't, and I said that he wouldn't, because he is a rational person unlike the people that would. Pretty easy to grasp.
