I've seen plenty of nastiness around the boards too, that go beyond the fan threads, so keep your bridge lol. I've always kept it about the character I don't like, and always kept it in a thread that isn't a fan thread. That's me trying to be respectful.
Then you're not being part of the solution, if you're going to deny that fan groups are part of the problem. Saying "oh, it's not me" does nothing to address the fact that the behavior happens from the collective group. Talking about the collective isn't implicating the individual.

It's been explained to you about seven times now that saying that ****SOME**** LI fans behave deplorably is not just about trolls in the LI threads, it's about overall behavior and how they interact with other fans, and how they contribute overall to a toxic environment on the board. It's not all about you.

And it might have something to do with me being positive about Arcann (as I said, it kind of makes me part of the in group). I'm positive about many, if not most of the companions, though.
And Arcann thread also has critics popping in, just like Quinn thread. I think all fan threads would get those eventually if they lasted long enough (not everyone is as polite as you), but it's possible that both Quinn and Arcann get more than most, since the characters have treated the player character badly.
I have no doubt that all the fan threads get their share of trolls, even if I don't follow some of them to know for sure. And I wouldn't be shocked that those threads get the most trolls. I do find it a bit funny though, that one betrayal 10 years ago is being held to the same level as, forced confinement, genocide and planetary destruction. That amazes me lol, but people are going to see things how they choose to see them.

Explain as much as you need to, I am not going to take responsibility for what other people do to others, whether they like the same comp as me or not. They do what they do, I do what I do. I'm speaking for *myself*. And I don't happen to care if you approve of that or not. I've found my own solution via the block button and avoiding the problems, that's my solution, what you decide yours should be is solely up to you. As for whether it's all about me? It is when I'm referring to the things that are in *my* power to do. I can only be responsible for myself. I will never take responsibility for what others choose to do, why should I take the blame for something I don't do? I refuse.

Imo the big difference between Quinn and Arcann is that Quinn betrays your trust, Arcann doesn't. That might be harder for someone's character due to that character's personality, and it might certainly be harder on the player. Personally I didn't feel anything when Arcann did bad stuff, but it sure did sting me, as a player, when Quinn pointed a gun at my character.

However, I already liked Quinn before that and enjoy when games suck me in and make me feel something, so it just made me like Quinn more. I'm a little strange, I know.

Please stop this forced LI nonsense,...Thanks!

How will the Romances be "forced" on us?

Just sayin if we are forced to have these romances I am in agreement that it is nonsense!

There is no comparison between Quinn and Arcann, the first one made a mistake, the second one commited mass murder. I'm not a fan of Malavai Q, but still i'd rather forgive him than the other dude.

I don't need your approval any more than you need mine, so there's no need for hostility. But IMHO this sort of "it's all about me and I don't care about anyone else, and I'm not going to watch out for other fans!" attitude does contribute to the massive amounts of toxicity we see both on this board and in the game.

I'm sure you've appreciated it when other fans (even those of us who dislike him) have stood up and objected to Theron's treatment. Not because it will benefit us; because it will benefit others who might like him.

Sticking up for others helps everyone. It's a shame you can't see that, but it's your prerogative.

Other LIs are being killed, the only un-killable is Lana. No matter if you kill Arcann, whoever decided to NOT kill him, gets new content. What;s so hard to understand? So when Theron will be dead too, the only options will be Lana & Arcann, they will be the only one still standing.
