No it didn't. When you invoke that a community is heavily criticizing something, you cannot read that as only a loud minority being responsible for it. If you think otherwise then no, I do not and will not agree with how you see it.
Anyway, this is going nowhere. You think he didn't step out of line with his overgeneralization, I believe his statement does not fully reflect what the community thinks about it and I have the screenshots to prove it. We'll just have to agree to disagree.
I think it's a very reasonable reading, considering that frequent invocations of "community criticism" often come from a vocal minority. Within gaming, movie/TV show communities, whenever people aggregate on social media to voice concerns, or in political protests, it is almost always a vocal minority.
Even in typical observations of life, like the cats being aloof, dogs are afraid of thunderstorms and vacuum cleaners, or roads flood after a heavy storm, generalisations observe a noticeable trend. This is why people typically interpret generalisations this way; they are used to describe what stands out, not how a majority or every single cat, dog, or road behaves.
Both he (I assume) and I agree with your screenshots lol. They support our position rather than disproving it. It's a casual conversation of opinions on a porn forum - no one "stepped out of line".
At least we kept the conversation cordial and friendly, that a good sign of healthy disagreement.
Now I'd better go and erase my comments before the mods come and delete them for me, especially since I want to keep the half that contains Eternum conversations.
