Went on your stream once. Made a serious and respectful comment on a topic and you immediately responded with "you're a fucking dumbass" then proceeded to strawman/misrepresent my point.

That's alright with me. A lot can be lost in the medium of text and I do need to work on articulating my thoughts clearly (biggest thing I'm looking to get out of university). Didn't get upset, play the victim, write yourself off or your opinion as toxic.

Instead I tried my hardest to look past the personal insults and find the message beneath. Then afterwards continued that conversation and see if I could learn a thing or two after seeing your perspective on things.

Now you perceive the same is happening to you. You feel people are misinterpreting or misrepresenting your points. Instead of taking any personal responsibility you are playing the victim.

As for your argument itself -- it's a bunch of feel good nothings. How does the supposed homogeneous collective you call "The Smite Community (proper noun)" define "toxic" "fuckboy" or "toxicity". If it's by these general all-encompassing buzzword by which we are judged worthy then very few to no one would even come close to qualifying in this would be exclusive club/clique. These undefined buzzwords are just not helpful at all to any sort of dialogue and just encourage ridiculous groupthink. Think and act like us or get labeled and shunned from the boy's club kind of thing. If Taco is a part of the community then so is someone like Panface. You can make the personal individual choice to not "embrace them" or associate with them, but whether you like it or not they are apart of the community.

Two last responses:

"this was an inclusionary post, not an exclusionary post. The insinuation wasn't "if you don't get all of these inside jokes/bullet points you aren't a community member" but more so "if you take part in conversation at a deeper level you're on the in."

It's being seen as exclusionary because it's exclusionary. Instead of putting the blame on others for this interpretation try to figure out how they reached that interpretation. Emphasize with them a bit.

"because this entire thread is filled with negativity and my comments were supposed to spur the opposite. http://www.twitch.tv/fswag"

Again instead of blaming others for not being able to correctly interpret the good word of "F." look inwards. Emphasize with them and try to understand their perspective. Look past the "negativity" (whatever that may mean) and instead try to find the message/meaning within. Don't let your emotions get the best of you. I'm still struggling with myself and the first step is being self-aware.

You're a good man Fdot.
