    Yeah, most media discussion threads felt like the mood was “if you like this thing you’re a disgusting treat baby” and if you ever acknowledged that then you were a disgusting treat baby for feeling attacked when he was really just criticizing the media itself.

    I remember him getting pretty unpleasant when I disagreed with him about some D&D edition war stuff.

      If you said anything along the lines of “yeah the politics suck, but what doesn’t? Personally I am able to bear with the lib stuff and enjoy the setting. Besides it has some fantastic fight coreography” then you were actually denying all the critique and being a debatebro or something. Except for Avatar, you had to like avatar. If you liked Oppenheimer then you hated women

      Most of my interactions with him was just arguing about how repeating the word “treats” is not a serious political theory and that there is a world outside of Silicon Valley. Everything was a treat, including food and housing.

      I’ve noticed that a lot of the stuff that’s given that treatment here, and other sites, is all stuff that is several years old.

      Or in other words, old enough that the person who’s saying previously liked it and is now embarrassed about it.
