Now that I've gathered all the pseudo-philosophers here (there's been a lot lately), I gotta ask what's up with the "Don't like the topic don't post" mentality that so many people seem to support?
Are we supposed to just turn a blind eye on things we don't like? For instance I see someone appealing to violence here in the forums? Am I wrong if I go out of my way to try and stop that? Because if you say "don't like it, don't post" it kinda sounds like you don't accept anything other than your own point of view. I realize one thing is harming another human being quite another is just posting useless threads but the argument stands, if someone is baited to a thread that turns out he doesn't think it belongs there or he finds it useless or whatever shouldn't he be allowed to voice his opinion on the thread?
If you post about a particularly controversial topic expect people to react controversially. We're all here in this forum, if we don't like something we should have the right to say so. I for once think if a thread is shitty people are entitled to say so, it's their opinion after all.
This is gonna rub many people on the wrong side but at least it serves the purpose of stopping this childish mentality.
If you have anything to say on this matter, positive or negative, don't keep it to yourself speak up, even if it is saying that this thread is crappy.
I didn't read through this entirely but I completely agree from the first few lines. It is 100% correct. These philosophical posts are absolutely fucking trash. I am a Christian but you don't see me preaching about it or arguing the case of if god is real on an indie project. take that sort of opinion to a place that doesn't make those who come here to escape reality or to enjoy themselves feel uncomfortable or awkward by such a serious subject. It's not that hard really, you just take your opinion somewhere else where it is more welcome.
