If the community was as inclusive as it sees itself then it wouldn't be "have you tried this" and would instead be "okay here's how we're going to all help solve this problem."
Instead it's been "this is what you should do" followed by pages of people explaining why the person might've been ignored through justifying explanations.
Here's my question: Look at what I've described. The situations I've described, and can you tell me how people should "fix" those issues?
The fact is, those are things that come from human nature of how they play this game. I know a variety of people who play this game, who RP, while reading stories, reading webcomics, look at the news, watch Netflix (etc). I can't tell them that they need to PLAY ONLY THIS GAME AND ONLY PAY ATTENTION TO IT!!1111.
