    Maybe it’s because it’s about a g*mer.

    Good point, it's a lot easier to take criticism when the impact is closer to home. It's really easy to dismiss something as not a problem when it's not something that impacts you, I'd go so far as to say it can sometimes be impossible to imagine problems people encounter when it's outside your lived experience. That's why its so important to listen to people when they speak from perspectives alien to your own, and why we should do what we can to raise up those voices, as a community.

    I'm just glad it's not going like this post went

      Oh that "post". Yeah that didn't go well. I tried to be supportive (probably did a very shit job at it) but yeah I'm just glad this one is being received better.

        Nah, I remember that. Your comments were a wonderful oasis in a scorched desert <3
