this entire reply is you being this person. that's what you don't understand.

it's ok, lots and lots of weirdos on lemmy do this shit all the time. they love to lecture strangers on the internet about how stupid and dumb and wrong they are, and take your comments about other people generally as personal attacks on themselves. and then feel a compulsion to defend themselves and their choices and then turn it into a pissing contenst where they implicity seem to want you to admit 'fault' for 'upsetting' them or your admit your 'ignorance' and their 'genius'.

steam, linux, plex, politics, etc. topic doesn't matter, attitude and the strucutre/stlye of the replies is always the same and totally interchangable. they will always use 'true scotsman' style argumentation, or accuse you of stawmanning, or some other 'logic' flex they think makes them 'smart' and you 'stupid'.

I know I'm weird, but I generally don't get upset or personally insulted other folks don't share in my hobbies or beliefs or whatever. And I'm fascinated by how hostile the often are to me I share them in a top level comment, or say often a contrasting scenario/example that disagrees with their oversimplified premise. then they tell me i'm generalizing and that's bad or something, but when they do it, it's good, or something.
