Fulifilling your dreams is all about the power of persistence folks! That, and having a friend willing to invest almost $70M in your dream.

But earlier this month, he said he would move the company’s headquarters to Austin, citing a new Golden State law meant to protect LGBTQ+ children as the “final straw.”

Imagine being so full of hate for a highly vulnerable group of people that you base your business decisions around it.

Why are we quoting each other? I remember the comment before yours. I made it. Idiot.

Because quoting in a response provides structure to the response that improves readability.

Also, you are posting on a publicly accessible forum, not having a one-on-one conversation. In that context, that fact that you may remember what you said doesn’t mean that it’s not beneficial to repeat it for others.

The “idiot” comment was unnecessarily rude where someone was engaging in what appeared to be a good faith response, and only brings down the tone of your entire post.

It’s Australia. Everything tries to kill you.

It depends on what the author was actually trying to say. I’ve never pretended to know what their intention was, and they haven’t added any further commentary to let us know.

You asked why the comment was getting downvoted. I responded with how the comment could be interpreted in a way that warrants downvotes.

You seem to have taken that proposed explanation very personally for some reason.

Way too harsh there.

What if someone wants to be a cripple? Wouldn’t healing them ruin their self esteem?

Your earlier comment was not “what if someone wants to role-play a cripple?” If it was meant to mean that, I don’t understand the relevance of healing hurting their self esteem. Whose self-esteem? The player’s, or the character’s?

The response made sense by querying why would a character want to be crippled, not why a player would find it interesting to do so.

I just got here, but I’d guess it’s because their comment reads like they are saying “no, facists aren’t the bad guys, both sides show contempt for the weak sometimes!” It’s a false balance fallacy.

I’m not sure if that was the intention, or it was just unfortunately worded.

My current campaign has a character whose parents still live in the town where the adventure is largely based. A lot of effort is spent convincing other townsfolk not to tell his mother what he’s been up to. It’s fantastic.

Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom were both great games, with good story (if a little cutesy, but it’s aimed at being family friendly), not even really any allusion to sex.

A bit yes and no with TOTK I think.

Time to use Lay on Hands.

It was merely the people who decided they wanted to choose for themselves which doors they would enter, and not be told by an admin they couldn’t enter certain doors.

I don’t like being told which parts of the internet I’m not intelligent enough to decide for myself about how I feel.

and if I see a community on any of them I don’t like, then it’s MY job to block it from my view, not an admins.

I can’t see a sensible way to read your comments as anything but critical of admins who choose not to federate with all instances.

My so-called vitriol is because I appreciate that by running an instance, admins are providing a service to me while bearing the brunt of the financial and legal responsibilities that go with that. If I don’t like how they run it, it’s incumbent on me to get out of their house and move into my own rather than complaining.

It’s not about you feeling like a big kid or feeling over protected. It’s not the subscriber that is left sitting with a server full of illegal material if someone subscribes to that sort of content, it’s the instance owner, and they will be the ones that end up risking prison

If you want federation with everything, then make your own instance which hosts copies of child abuse, terrorist and hate material. But don’t criticise admins for not wanting to risk jail time so you can feel uncensored.
