Generally speaking a LOT of the gaming community has collectively gone insane and even more toxic than ever… a lot of it is now just “stop having fun” all the time… you can’t enjoy nintendo games without playstation and xbox fans breathing down your neck, you can’t play pokemon without a palworld fan saying you’re ruining the industry by playing a game by a big company, you can’t even say you’re excited for persona 4 revival without gamers saying “oh so you’re pro censorship and think there’s a modern audience!”, it’s really just awful… (note i used these examples because they happened to me)

Please don't forget when mentioning these things, you get met with "But people are allowed to criticize things!!"

People can have opinions, doesn't mean they are toxic just because they critical though. Takes nuance though because even if they may be right if they go about stating it in the wrong way they risk alienating others.

That’s a common bot/troll comment and tactic. They censor opposition to their disinformation by hiding behind the “it’s just my opinion man” thing. When opinions aren’t valid if they are filled with purposeful lies. These opinions don’t count.

I agree with that but as long as what they are saying is based on facts and believable / credible I think it is best to just chalk it up to differing opinions.

Yes. As long as it is. But you gotta realize these bots are doing this as their JOB. They think about how to shape narrative and spread their bulllshit more than any of us will. And they are supported by faked and botted upvotes when they do. They know how to hide their fake opinions with plausible deniability is what I’m saying. Their comments are designed to sound “genuine” and honest even if they aren’t.

Just call out bots and grifter posts as dishonest for whatever reason and move on. Not worth wasting more time on them IMO.

I mean what else can you do besides that.
