   Reminder that I used to be on their side years ago. They bring their own hate.

     @Cayhr "We have to be the bigger person" only works when you're fighting in a civilized society, and our society is no longer civilized.

     @Kyonko802 Then there are these poor fellas who don't know how to handle enemies. I don't blame them, but... you can't good will problems away, especially if those problems swung first! Never let them establish the position that we are the bad guys for fighting back, when it started from them. You don't beg for someone punching you that has no intention of stopping to stop punching, do you? You have to force them to stop using force on you. I don't think most people recognize what the true nature of the enemy is.

     @Kyonko802 And this is why the right wingers have been losing the culture war for so many years now. Only recently did I see one of them grow a pair, and that was Matt Walsh of all people. He finally mentioned that "we" need to be on the offensive. Being nice has gotten them nowhere.
     
     I have no idea how he intends to follow through with that, but at least the sentiment is starting to be picked up. Change is slow, after all, and if Pikamee has to be sacrificed on the altar in order to make change... then that is how history shall play out.
     
     Man, can you imagine being her? Grew up not feeling fit in Japan for being half-American, caters to her American audience, and then suddenly the American side shocks her with intense vitriol for trying to play a (admittedly shit and boring) Harry Potter game. What is she to do, other than just close off? Just like the cancelled JP artists that drew Nessa... everything was fine until so much hate came their way they couldn't handle it and shut off (either the account or the post in particular).

     @Cayhr @Kyonko802 American conservatives are so used to a cushy, liberal society and have no idea how to respond to freaks with no moral compunction shredding all they hold dear.

     @Senator_Armstrong @Kyonko802 The neurosis is so strong it always inevitably takes over and erases whatever shred of personality was once there.
