The only naive mistake on any players' part would be playing with this guy in the first place

Pinging @UlyssesT@hexbear.net because I know you hate this stuff too

    To be fair, chuds hate the thermian argument too; if you have a fantasy or sci-fi setting with an advanced race of humans who aren't white, they get upset.

      Perhaps, though far more often than not (including on Hexbear) I see it being used to justify reactionary shit, from Goblin Slayer and Shield Hero and Gate and Attack on Titan's narrator-driven ideologies to increasingly-stale anti-creativity bottlenecks like Nintendo's insistence that "the prophecy(tm)" from a roughly 30 year old game requires endless repetition of the same primary beats of Zelda games forever and ever with Zelda pretty much forbidden from having playable character agency since after the CDi era except with metaphysical asspulls like, so I hear, Link's spirit allowing her to swing a sword but only then, and silliness like that.

      It's like when they claim to be "for small government": they only like it until it's not working in their favor.

        Small government but large police force; also government bans on what or who they hate. Pro-freezepeach until it's someone suggesting that maybe it's not minorities destroying America.
