I’m serious when I say I was being nice and read your comments graciously and intentionally. No, this does not misrepresent what you said, what you said simply does not have the meaning and effect that you wanted it to. I didn’t ignore a single thing, and you’re awfully full of yourself if you expect people to literally quote every word of your comments when they criticize you; we don’t even do that for professionals.

“You guys,” are obnoxious Reddit/Lemmy guys who insist they know about something they clearly do not know well enough about, and would rather pretend that their critics are just making up things (the exact kind of person who would refuse to engage in self-criticism in any worthwhile way). I don’t think “bad faith” has any meaning anymore because we have so many men who behave like this and take any unwanted criticism as purposefully misleading attacks. Nice attempt to force some self-victimization in here though, very in line with how you’ve behaved so far.

Don’t try to act serious if you aren’t ready to be serious then.
