idk i don't get that impression; like i said, it's fine to enjoy things that have problematic elements
but if someone points out it's problematic it's grossly insensitive to dismiss their feelings and act like because you don't care, neither should they
which is pretty much exactly what "UGH STOP BEING SO PC" is doing
i don't exactly want to tell y'all my medical history but this is something i have personal reasons for, and i think it's perfectly valid to bring that up when discussing the game as a story, as people are here
it's pretty ridiculous to one minute be all "yeah this is really meaningful stuff" and then people get all upset when others either point out "this really isn't as deep as you think it is" or "this actually suggests some shitty things"
either you want to treat it as a valid storytelling medium, or you don't. it's not really consistent to say 'this is an excellent story but i will accept no criticisms of the story'
