This is going to be my final post in this topic, for all of our sakes. This time, I'm not coming back even if the behavior towards me continues.
"Behavior towards you" oh my god can you please
grow up? We didn't like your opinion,
why does it need to be bigger than that? I once made a fool of myself defending fucking
Sonic Boom Wii U on here, but I'm never going to claim there's a super-secret-SJW-communazi conspiracy cabal out to get any of us god-fearing all-American Rise of Lyric lovers. Literally nobody has attacked your character, and your constant, constant false allegations that we
have is doing worse things for anyone's perception of you than a personal attack could.
What I believe is that if a narrative about something is going to be discussed, it shouldn't be made into an exclusive club where only those who agree with that narrative are allowed, and all else waved off.
But that's not what's happening here. If you hadn't been ignoring us, you may have noticed that I and a couple others disagreed with some of the things in the opening post. I've said this like three times now.
I do not take offense to being told that I'm wrong, I take offense to being told that not only am I wrong, but also my opinion doesn't matter because you don't like it. I take offense to the entire idea that you get to decide an objective truth and anyone who disagrees or questions it is told their viewpoint isn't valid.
But again, this is not strictly about your beliefs, but your dismissive behavior and your stalwart refusal to consider anything but your own perspective. You're demanding that your point of view be considered while taking the mere
existence of others as an attack on your identity.
I've spent the majority of this thread trying to defend my views against takes on it that were hostile to begin with, and now the latest label being attributed to me is that I'm the one on the attack.
You literally came out on the offensive from the beginning, claiming everyone else would 'cancel' you for having the wrong opinion. That was your intent at the very start, so of
course it was going to happen, it's what you wanted to happen.
Not once have I ever felt in this thread as if my views were even slightly considered.
Oh, poor
@time gear. How awful that he doesn't receive the courtesy he refused to offer to anyone else.
I tried to convince you lot of the value of my viewpoint, and every single time it was never enough, always shot down.
And like I said, it is a personal failing on your part if you can't make a good argument for that point. Everyone else is not out to get you just because you're not being validated 24/7.
I tried to treat the main narrative of the thread with the respect of debate, and I was met with not being welcome for not agreeing with it. Someone who anyone who disagrees with is immediately in the right for doing so.
You're not treating the thread with respect, because you keep calling it "the narrative", something you naturally consider in opposition to "the truth". Do you think I've never seen this rhetoric before?
If there's one clear message I'm getting from this thread, it's that you do not value me, you do not value my opinion, and you do not value my defense of either. I stated my opinion, I was immediately portrayed as ridiculous for making it. I attempted a defense, and was portrayed as unreasonable for defending it. I've been nothing but slammed in this thread, and now I'm the one being told that i'm the one toxic and problematic.
This is an internet forum about Sonic the hedgehog and you're whining about "not being valued" just because we didn't agree with you. This is pathetic.
You should understand by this point that if you ever bothered to read the other responses, you're pretty much the
only guy who acted like a clown, but
not the only one who had a take different from the OP. It's not "anyone who disagrees", it's
the specific way you are behaving.
Let me ask one final time: is
literally every opinion in existence worth defending? If so, why do you get to decide that
your opinion is worthy of respect, but the
opinion that
your opinion is not worthy of respect isn't? This philosophy mandates hypocrisy.
Nothing I ever could say would ever convince you that my opinion matters, and everything I say just inspires further talk about me being a bad person for saying it. I'm not welcome here. So congratulations. You win. I'm leaving.
Out of this entire thread, the only one to call you a bad person here is you. But hey, that's your opinion, why would I argue?
In short, this is what everyone else here has just bore witness to:
