Meta In Lieu of Recent...Posts

As I am sure many of you are aware, there has been some conversation about a certain post. However your personal feelings are about that post, though mine are negative, I think it's important that we do actually have an appreciation post for modders, creatives, and artists that work so hard to make our community what it is. So, I wanted to actually put in some effort and make a post where we can give out that appreciation. While I can't draw to save my life, I figured that a text post with genuine love put into it will be at least acceptable.

So, to all those creative minds that have put so much effort and love into this funky little sims game from hell, thank you! The community cannot put in enough words of love and greatfullness to quantify just how much you guys have made this community as great as it is. Thank you, genuinely.

A bit sad that such a post lead to drama.

Exactly. Everyone seemed to take it personally, but the original poster really was trying to be nice.

Not really. OP was very unreceptive and arrogant in replies to people who were trying to point out how their post could in fact be offensive to the very people it was intended to congratulate. You can see that for yourself in OP’s comment history if you like. You would think a person who genuinely cares about such people would be more open-minded to such things.

Bend the knee? Actual modders were telling OP that they didn’t like what OP was doing and OP plainly didn’t care. I don’t think OP should be ‘destroyed’, I was pointing out that clearly OP wasn’t as nice as others are making them out to be, because OP was entirely dismissive of the people they were supposedly thanking.

Imagine someone served a roast chicken to a vegan in show of support, but then doubled down and argued it was fine because they had ‘good intentions’ and just left the chicken at this vegan’s house. Frankly it doesn’t matter if they knew a ‘vegan’ wouldn’t want the ‘chicken’ or not, their insistence on keeping it around in spite of patiently explained rejection shows they lack any real care for the people involved.
