It's not your opinion that PPL, yasl, and I are objecting to, it's the way in which you express it. You could do without the snideness and condescension. If you think that makes us thin-skinned SJWs who can't take the slightest hint of criticism without running off crying to our safe spaces, that's your opinion too. I would not consider that an accurate characterization, however. Of course, I doubt you'll listen on that front.
Likewise, rather than trying to attack the exact wording that someone uses at times of emotion like these, it's more important to consider why they might be feeling the way they do, and looking closer at where their emotions may be coming from. There's more to words than the words themselves.
You should take your own advice rather than assuming that everything we say comes from a bubble of hurt fee-fees. Do note that I have not been trying to force the art down your throat and demand that you like it. I'm not offended that you don't, despite what you seem to think. For all your gripes about bubbles, you seem very comfortable in your own. Maybe if you crawled out from underneath your blanket of smug moral superiority you might see that your attitude has been a major factor in driving people away from the site. But that would require a modicum of self-awareness and reflection, and I doubt you can bring yourself to do find any of either within yourself. I've been offering this same advice to you for upwards of a year now, sometimes more subtly, sometimes more bluntly. And it's always been because I want to help you and help the site. But you've never listened before, so I don't expect you to now.
Do you remember complaining to me that nobody talks to you anymore? I remember hearing that many times, where you thanked me for being one of the only ones who still did. So let me be clear now: this smug attitude I've been mentioning all this time is a major factor in you being lonely. Strangely, people don't want to interact with someone who never apologizes for upsetting anyone, always thinks that they're right and perfect, and plays victim and martyr when they're challenged on it. I consider myself a patient and tactful person, but you have finally succeeded in running me out of my supply of both. Congratulations.
But no, you're going to interpret this as an unjust, unfair personal attack from a disgruntled screeching harpy. Oh, the humanity! Oh, the woe! You'll respond with another snide reply about how I'm an SJW who can't handle a dissenting opinion. That is not true. What I can't handle are smug people with no self-awareness. You call us SJWs? Let me fill you in on a secret. The thing most people hate about SJWs isn't their politics, it's their smug sense of moral superiority and constant playing of the victim card instead of conceding to a debate. You accuse us of being SJWs, but you're the one using their tactics of "everything I do is 100% right, apologizing is weakness, and any criticisms are unfair and intolerant."
Believe whatever you want, but don't blame us when your bad attitude causes the site to continue hemorrhaging users whose patience for your behavior is far less than mine.
I dare you to call this SJW thinking, or say that I'm just being emotional, or ban me for daring to challenge you.
