I don't even watch Arthars? The only reason I know about this is from a friend of mine talking about this, who found out about the thread from Mr Happy's video. You are accusing me of tribalism, yet you are the one making assumptions about me, why I'm here, and making up some kind of grand conflict. Sometimes it's really just as simple as having a really really bad take on a topic and finally deciding to actually participate in the place that the devs listen to instead of talking about it among friends. The reason you are seeing more people on the forums is simply that more people are realizing that the devs only listen here.

But okay sure it's all one streamer dogpiling someone. It could never possibly be that this take is so horrendously awful that its driving people into their first forum interactions.
