Oh shit, a Steam Autumn Sale, NOT ENOUGH MONEY

[Solid Snake]

I wasn't the slightest bit snarky when I was made the original post you all responded to, which merely elucidated that Crusader Kings II (a game I like, by the way, and one I'm usually more eager to defend) is saddled with a fair share of issues related to social justice concerns that might caution against its purchase.

Y'all then proceeded to react with:

Are there honestly people out there that think a game striving for social and political realism situated in the 11th century should not portray the biases of that time and instead be unrealistically progressive?

I'm pretty sure that by that definition Civilization is also "socially unjust"

...And even after you expressed this initial round of, yes, holier-than-thou know-it-all bona fide snarkiness in response to my otherwise innocuous attempt to inform, I graciously proceeded to try to explain the specific substantive issues in a post or two without delving into name-calling.

Instead, y'all proceeded to attempt to prove me wrong and/or lecture me, with a continued flippant tone:

You're doin that logic thing again, Arcanum. Stop that silliness right now!

You sure you did your homework on that one?

Yes, Bells, that last comment of yours I quoted was snarky and sarcastic and self-indulgent and uses wording that is at best completely unnecessary and at worst utterly dismissive.

Yes, I'm sure I "did my homework" on that one.
And yes, by the time we had gotten that far -- by the time I had already elucidated in three separate posts my line of reasoning -- I finally gave in to temptation and decided to inject some snark because you were already tossing out your zingers at me for daring to suggest that a game I actually LIKE has genuine issues.

And no, I shouldn't have to justify every attempt I make to preface recommendations for videogames with a social-justice related disclaimer.
This is the kind of attitude and behavior that makes talking about issues like sexism and homophobia utterly impossible here at NPF.
