    The topic itself is poison, and didn’t need bringing up.

    Cool games are cool games, and cool art is cool art.

        I was like you once, and still find myself getting baited into rage-commenting.

        You perpetuate the things you hate by being unable to let go. This post wasn’t about incels but you just had to bring them up, souring the mood. Worst part is that it wasn’t even a good joke. We’re talking low hanging fruit to the point of picking up rotten fruit off the jungle floor.

        Hatred is a lot like swallowing poison and expecting someone else to die. Treat yourself better.

          Wow. What an arrogant thing to comment.

          Next time, if you want people to read what you write, don’t start with “I was like you once” to an absolute stranger.

            If you worry about people reflecting critically on your behavior, maybe don’t display it then lol

        Those same incels use the same excuse for misogynist hate. Don’t act like it being a joke absolves it of all consequences

          The consequence of… making fun of incels and mentioning a topic that was on OP’s mind anyways?

              They wrote

              I was hoping I could post this without someone making it about the toxic bullshit

              which implies that they were already thinking about it.

                Wow. That’s a reach.

                Can you genuinely not empathise with the position of someone who loves a piece of art and wants to share it, but can’t because of a tired two year old piece of drama that we can’t get rid of?

                You just drag a franchise down, you limit natural marketing, you associate it with negativity. You allow the incels to win by talking about its controversial points rather than its positive ones.

                The game expands on an already incredible first title. It was a graphical powerhouse at release, the combat feels better, the acting is amazing, the enemy and character designs are stunning. But no, we need multiple comments on this post overcompensating for the inane takes of some touch-starved losers

        No.

        But I can still tell you off for souring my mood by making one in bad taste.

            I’m aware that some people get weird about how she looks. That in itself isn’t a problem. I just ignore that shit.

            That’s not an option when someone makes a snarky comment about it on my post, in a community I moderate.

            Or it was, ignoring it would have involved removing your comment and being done with it. But I’ve seen you around on Lemmy and decided you’re worth giving the benefit of the doubt.

            Was I wrong?

              Good for you that you don’t abuse your power as a moderator, I guess.

              Was I wrong?

              Umm… is that a rethorical question? I’m not used to this… dramatic way of speaking on the internet.

                I’m not done yet, because I was wrong.

                My hope was that I could make you see why your comment was in bad taste. Instead you’re fighting me.

                The arrogant commenters analogy hits home. You went for low hanging fruit so easy to reach it was rotting on the forest floor, then brought it back to camp expecting everyone to want a bite.

                We don’t. In fact we’re offended you even touched the thing.

                I’m ending this discussion here, you’re welcome back after your 7 day ban.
