Fanverse is a more suitable site if someone seriously wants to chat about politics and apparently the politics section over there can be "pro-democratic" from what I heard
Regardless of the place, poltics and religion are two topics which often ends up in toxicity.
It's not the debate itself - it's that these topics are sensitive and triggers people. And, it becomes major problem if one is short tempered and resort to throwing insults - either directly or in form of bettlitling someone's knowledge or labelling them.
I will be blunt - people who resorts to insults - it reflects more about them than the other people. It reflects their insecurities.
From the very beginning it was simply his attitude and argumentation. In the nakama thread, he kept saying everyone else was too bias to the see the clear story of Carrot being a SH or important character, and kept bringing in real world politics to explain away people not seeing the story the way he did, all the while bragging about his story telling knowledge.
With politics in general, he keeps insinuating that people who disagree with him are morally inferior, too bias, or too uneducated to see the world the way he does.
We get it...you like Carrot, you want the world to be a better place yada Yada Yada, but why constantly talk down other's interests and opinions as misguided or compromised and think all fault falls on them? Obviously people across the board would turn against him.
Logiko keeps on saying "this place is toxic" but he himself contributes to it through his attitude by belittling other people knowledge, imposing his views and with that "I know it all" condescending tone while labelling them with some defamatory words like calling people sexist during carrot arguments.
You, me and many are here since it's foundation. We were part of OJ. We all had our fair deal of arguments, insults, trolls.
Yet, we all gel up. We all go at each other yet at the end we all can still share some bond.
But with logiko - as you said, it's his attitude which becomes a major issue.
And, you can tell it's his attitude is an issue because this isn't restricted to political section - any one piece thread and you will see the same behaviour.
Logiko has to stop blaming this place and act as a victim. He has to own up for his attitude, correct it and I am sure people on their own would stop going after him
