So, you were never interested in being nice in the first place if that is still your take away.

For someone who theoretically actually wants to say nice things, you’re certainly really upset at the possibility that maybe just doing whatever you want might not actually be nice.

Look at the astonishing degree to which you’re advocating “don’t say anything nice.”

That’s what I refer to as “crazy” - making ill-intent your default assumption.

What do we do about it, though?

It’s crazy that that is the reality. That hyper-competitive people are so warped and twisted inside that they’d consider positivity to be an attack.

So you can say with 100% certainty that no one has ever expressed something positive at the end of the game and meant it in a less than positive manner? You can say no ones ever been disingenuous with a positive statement before?

Wouldn’t the toxic people be gaslighting you into thinking the emote is always a negative thing?

But name a better duo than being wildly uneducated and being an MRA.

“It was important for us to give players who sought out to be a Dark Witch or Wizard an opportunity to do so,” lead designer, Kelly Murphy, told Gamesradar. “This is the ultimate embodiment of role-playing; allowing the player to be evil. Additionally, this was important because it comes from a place of non-judgement…

Now I don’t fully agree with everything you’ve said, or necessarily the way you’ve said it, but yeah in broad strokes that’s accurate. Most of the disagreement between what you say, and my feelings on the matter is the degree of leeway I give on certain things. Where you’re angry about certain things, I still…

On top of that, major changes are about to happen to a lot of major systems across Destiny with the new expansion here in a few weeks.  And they’ve started doing some updates in preparation for that.  So the game is in a ‘weird’ halfway state between what it was and what it will be when the expansion drops.  And I’d…
