The consumption is the point. They just want candy not a meal. They want fucking marvelslop not Cinema.

Inb4 let people enjoy things, the mindset on display is a perfect member of capitalist society. A mindless consumption machine.

    You are the one acting defensive about having a treat criticized.

    I wasn't even talking to you whatsoever until you started by calling me "really stupid."

    and again I am really sorry about how rude I have been

    If you were actually sorry you wouldn't have included "totally didn't insult you in excessive reactive defensiveness over a treat, just called you 'really stupid' in the first reply which totally doesn't count" in this very same reply.

    I'm not even going to address the rest because you can't even own up to what you already did from the start here.

        So much for the tired and going to bed announcement.

        I’m trying to be open here

        Then stop dodging labels and denying what you have already directly done in this thread.

        I know I was hostile. That wasn’t ok. But I was scared, I was angry, and I don’t really know what else to say

        Owning up to it is good and a good start and I sincerely respect that. Yes, that is what I tend to call treat defense and the way you blew up at me from the start seemed like a textbook example of it. It's not a fatal error and I think it's best to just accept that you did react the way you did and just back down from that from there.

        I really don’t want to make you hate me for a prolonged period. I am willing to do anything to try and make it up to you, legitimately. I will delete all of my comments on this post if you want that. I don’t want to be an annoying debate-bro, I just want a community I can feel safe in

        Things are fine. I don't hate you. I actually respect you quite a bit now for the vulnerability you've just shown. That takes courage.
