I don’t view your comment as particularly useful: “Everyone who disagrees with me are just bigots!” isn’t the standard we should encourage — and that’s all you

I don’t view your comment as particularly useful: “Everyone who disagrees with me are just bigots!” isn’t the standard we should encourage — and that’s all you’ve said. > Please don't underestimate their ability to shitpost and spam negative reviews - they are high-skilled and have many years of training in this kind of battle. This part in particular sounds like projection. Edit: replying here due to posting cap. Yes — in a thread about general negative reviews you: a) associated the general negativity with people you view an extremists, and b) presented a claim that whole communities were just “triggered bigots” without showing any of their actual comments or reasoning. That kind of strawmanning leads me to believe you’re calling them bigots as a slur, rather than based on substance. I think you’re projecting your own intolerance and stereotyping of those people onto them, to reach the conclusion “they’re just bigots”.

Then maybe you need to re-read it. I’m saying you that *chan communities have hundreds of posts calling for 1-star reviews. I’ve explained their reasoning. They are bigots because they are racists, misogynists, and homophobes, not because they “disagree with me” - I have nothing to agree with them. I haven't submitted any reviews for this show, I’m not trying to protect my opinion. Amazon is fighting with hordes of shitposters, not just doing some censorship.

> “Everyone who disagrees with me are just bigots!” isn’t the standard we should encourage — and that’s all you’ve said. If you cannot admit that the people who regularly visit 4chan are bigots, then you are not arguing in good faith. That is a fundamental premise to continue the discussion. If we can't agree on that premise, then your comments are not particularly useful. This is okay bait at best.

They are saying explicitly why they are bombing ratings. Looks like for you it's ok to create threads in forums just to organize mass “downvotes”. And you are trying to protect the reputation of 4chans swamps - that’s an “interesting” point of view. If you share their “beliefs” (racism and other things), then we should not talk. I am in fact intolerant to *chan trash, it is true. If you need some "proofs", start from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8chan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8chan > "8kun, previously called 8chan, Infinitechan or Infinitychan (stylized as ∞chan), is an imageboard website composed of user-created message boards. An owner moderates each board, with minimal interaction from site administration. The site has been linked to white supremacism, neo-Nazism, the alt-right, racism and antisemitism, hate crimes, and multiple mass shootings. The site has been known to host child pornography; as a result, it was filtered out from Google Search in 2015. Several of the site's boards played an active role in the Gamergate controversy, encouraging Gamergate affiliates to frequent 8chan after 4chan banned the topic. 8chan is the home of the discredited QAnon conspiracy theory." https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/04/technology/8chan-shooting-manifesto.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/04/technology/8chan-shooting...
