This may get some spite directed my way, but to be honest I think people in general are overreacting, at least to a degree. When you have more than two people in a room, you can all but guarantee there will be disagreements. That's with two people. There are already hundreds of RPers on Mateus.Â
To see one, two, even three people say something and take it as gospel, to let it form opinions on an entire community or subject matter... I don't know. Seems very silly to me. Please note I'm not speaking to only you directly in this matter, nor dismissing your RL woes (I understand those very well on a personal level, you can take my word on that that), but it's a game and people are going to argue.Â
There's only so many times I and other people from Mateus can tell you (again, general you, not you specifically) that the majority of us are not like this before 1. It starts getting frustrating on our end and 2. We just start giving up in light of that. This gets very tiring. Someone shit talks Balmung and they're dogpiled on. Someone does the same about Mateus and there seems to be some unspoken (and ofttimes spoken) expectation we must rush in to defend our server and reassure people repeatedly.Â
This has to go both ways. There has to be a little give on the other end where people say, "Well, one person treated me like dirt, but I've seen four people post on the forums welcoming me. I've had a dozen or more welcome me in the LS I joined. The Discord has been good to me. I guess I won't let this one person control my opinion here."
