[quote="Flip_FTW"]All I got from that was "I like Timon and I get upset when other people don't like Timon."[/quote]
Alright. Seeing that what I wrote about this part of my other post requires simple clarification:
My point is, if a member is going to have an attitude of bashing a character simply "Because I can" or "Nobody likes X character. So I can say whatever I want", those kinds of attitude will NOT foster any kind of truly good or friendly environment for anyone on a forum like this.
There's a
real difference between just expressing a dislike for a character (or film), and bashing him/her/it. Especially if you don't have
concrete evidence from official material to back up negative claims on the subject.[/quote]
I looked through the thread you linked and honestly, I thought Regs was being pretty damn reasonable. He doesn't like Timon but I never got the impression that he was "bashing" him.
TBH when I joined this site I was a huge Scar fanatic (like that was literally how people knew me, I was that Scar fanfic writer) and yeah, I got defensive sometimes when people weren't being fair because I was a depressed 14 year old and I was pretty sensitive, but at the end of the day I realized that
he's literally an animated character in a movie. Not everyone is going to like anyone in the same way and people sometimes are going to hate your favorite character. I got that literally all the time but that didn't stop me from making friends here, even though most people didn't like the same characters I did.
Just saying. I find people here mostly pretty reasonable in a discussion and considering that on-topic posts seem to be in a minority now anyways, I don't think that that's a major contributor to anything that's gone on lately. In fact it's probably one of the most stable parts of the forum as far as I've ever seen, and I've also been here since 2012, so... yeah.[/quote]
Since you were the one who pretty much legitly attacked me when I made my posts about how I felt when Donald Trump won the election here (when they weren't even aimed at anyone on this forum including you):
viewtopic.php?p=1395947#p1395947, it's going to be hard for me to agree to your statements you wrote above.
And yes. It's human nature to support your friends in everything they do, and not think that they can or ever will do anything wrong. Which isn't actually good.
But as for me, I'm sticking to everything I've written in this thread and I'm not going to let myself have a biased view on something that's happened on this forum or because it's a friend of mine.
