Considerate of you to defend me and others in this community.

I'm allowed to criticize and despise the Man Who Owns No Scrunchies and I'm allowed to be dead wrong about it. I can do so, out loud, and without insulting people in our community.

They are technically allowed to downbote me into oblivion and a few will pile on with the sophomoric insults.

I appreciate that your tact is to recognize that this is a community of real, breathing people, and the tyiu call out the consequences of one hitting way harder than the consequences of the other.

I'm often reminded that, just like subreddit, these are OUR communities and that they will become what we make of them. We have the power in our hands to completely tear down our own teams.

I think we both could be rather curious what building it up looks like, instead.

I mean, unless 'Steve' is here. Fuck that guy. 🤣

    I got what you are saying and there is nothing wrong with asking for a different view of the same information, or other formats.

    I found the reply to you so off putting because any ally would likely say something to guide you to more info. Instead you get shouted at. Like WTF.

    So each person who upvoted that makes me really question why I am here at all, they contributed nothing to the community except to try and ostracize someone. Even if you were on the fence about the content, what good would that do? Do they actually give a shit, or are they just trolling?

    Beginning to think I'm deeply wrong, and that this place just isn't for anyone outside the (albeit decentralized yet obviously prevalent) groupthink.

    I've never seen so many people line up to glaze such an unprofitable human outside of r/conservative/conspiracy. Never imagined it'd hit a nerve saying "I don't give this one creator viewership."

    Next, I'll find out they're mad I still watch LTT.

    I mean, in later replies to me that dude literally called himself a troll and admitted he just needed the attention.

    I like to think you and I can have a moderating effect around here, over time. :)

    It's when the group can't handle having vocal dissidents that I start moving towards the exits.
