> why are people taking such strong issue with this position Because you don't actually make any arguments at all, and provide no evidence to your position. All you are doing is playing devil's advocate, and saying "I don't believe the narrative!", without actually providing any evidence of your own as to why it is wrong. If you worked at blizzard at the past, or know people who have, and you know from talking to them, that they have different experiences, then that would be a different story. But you don't have that. You aren't actually backing up any position at all, and you are just casting doubt, like a bad faith actor, without actually defending or justifying anything that you are saying, beyond "I don't believe the narrative!". > what motives am I supposed to actually have The motive would be the same motive that the "well acttualllyyy", devil's advocates have. You get to try to look smart, by going against the grain, and find irrelevant flaws in people's arguments, without actually backing anything up yourself, or subjecting your own argument to the same type of hyper, useless, deconstruction. Happens all the time on hacker news.
