What's with the forums?

[CidHeiral]

The part that always amuses me, however, is how the forum claims every other place on the internet is overrun with "white knights" who love the game, how this forum is the only place on the internet where you can be negative about FFXIV, while simultaneously acting as if this forum magically represents the playerbase at large and it being absolutely dwarfed by the other places that do nothing but praise the game is somehow conveniently irrelevant.

What posts like that actually mean is "on other sites people have the audacity to disagree with me, but here I can truly express myself in echo chamber threads."
