@RL_Dane I think this is a problem every "community" has, as I hear the same thing about every interest I have. I tend to avoid considering interests as "communities" because of it
I'm just a weirdo who likes to listen to the music I like to listen to, I fiddle with computer stuff that intrigues me, watch children's media, etc. I'll probably blabber on about it, and anyone who likes can sure listen. If I offend I'll probably apologize profusely if I know you get reflexively defensive if I don't
@RL_Dane ...Is my thought process this time. If I read it again and feel like replying, I'll probably have a different line of reasoning every time. I've got the consistency of of a true RNG :P
It's a serious flaw I have that genuinely leads me to just debating myself and the things I've said moments earlier on and on ad-nausium.
But I digress, and this was absolutely not the time and place to have an existential crisis...
It's a very human problem, but some communities are worse than others, although I think that has a lot to do with the values and practices of the gatekeepers* of the community.
*using "gatekeeper" in a generic sense, not necessarily referring to "gatekeeping" in the negative sense.
@RL_Dane I have had people yell at me trying to convince me of the very opinion I shared, simply because I implied it was possible they might be offended by my sharing of my opinion :P
@RL_Dane The majority of people I meet here are quite decent. Even many of the people I get into arguments are decent except when we both happen to collide at just the wrong mood it seems
