Reason: User Banned (2 Days) : Hostility + History of similar infractions.

It's ridiculous because it's a forum for discussion. Negative opinions are just as valid and it's ridiculous that someone could be considered an asshole for saying bad things about a fucking video game. And, again, "toxic elements" are referring to those who are getting into sheer, hyperbolic, aggressive shutting down of criticism of the game. Thus far I've mostly had people want to engage with what I'm saying, and then you get that one guy with the Herc avatar who decided I'm strawmanning because I don't like the game and said as much. I didn't criticize the game because I'm not here to talk about its merits, I'm here to talk about people like you who fucking flip their shit if someone doesn't like the game. Yeah sorry never mind folks I have no idea what I'm talking about. There's nothing wrong with some of this fanbase when you get zingers like this.
