About Maoman

If you genuinely consider yourself intelligent, then set aside your assumptions for one moment and assess the actual point I am making.
Don't just see "he's angry" and instantly jump to defensive dismissal like some boring ape responding on pure instinct.
Actually use your goddamn brain and think about what I am saying:

This community is poisoned.

Where I thought I would find a technical community centered around modding, I instead find a circlejerk where everybody is as nice to the devs as possible at all times, even at the expense of improving.

You trend towards prioritizing safety, politeness and social peacekeeping over accuracy, truth and honest opinions. It does not matter what is right or wrong, it only matters if it is disturbing the peace--and if it is, your response is unconditionally just straight suppression and shutting it down, even if they're 100% correct, because logical arguments are """drama""" and you're so goddamn terrified of offending anybody that the mere presence of drama horrifies you, even when it has nothing to do with you. You are as bad as all these AI chatbots: optimized for plausible polite responses, instead of truth or accuracy.

So, deeply disappointed, I resign myself to accepting that this community, like so many others, is incapable of appreciating logic and thus is not worth my time. I will not help anyone. I will not answer pings. I will not post my findings and fixes. If that makes you happy, then you are what is wrong with society.

You'll likely just roll your eyes at that of course, but it's more accurate than you realize: you are literally part of the same group of people responsible for political correctness that stilfles logic, for corporate sterilization that suppresses feelings, and for appeasing oversensitive advertisers and shareholders. You want everything said with the minimum possible offense to everybody--a goal as impossible as it is stupid. You cannot stand "drama" because you cannot tolerate feeling uncomfortable for even one second, not even if it's in direct service of improvement and learning. And you definitely can't tolerate hard critical thinking, that's just too difficult and effortful and your mind is unpracticed.

But that's just the kind of person you are, isn't it? You prefer being head-empty, going with the flow, running off vibes only, don't you? You actually think that's a good and smart way to go about life, don't you? Just keep your head down and do what you're told like a good little minion. Because that's what you've been raised to believe by all the other similarly minded people, and you never thought to question it, because you never think to question anything deeper than surface level bullshit. Again, you are like an AI chatbot: you give the most generic, stereotypical, predictable response to every interaction because to do otherwise would require stopping to think for a few seconds first... and god forbid anyone ever do that. The fact that you honestly believe you are being just and fair when you do all of this is just salt in the wound--that's exactly why this mentality is so hard to kill, because you, stuck inside of it, genuinely feel it's the correct way to act. 

But you will just roll your eyes at this message and dismiss it as the ranting of some butthurt manchild upset he can't be an asshole to people, rather than seeing it as a lamenting thesis statement on the idiocy of the human race, because to actually give my argument any time of day would mean admitting there might be some truth to my words, and that would be disasterous to your worldview. So, you ignore my words and brush them off and forget the reasoning like some neanderthal who isn't even capable of advanced reasoning. 

Well, keep your head in the sand, then. I'll be over here with my eyes wide open wishing I could make you see what I see.
