I know this wasn't directed at me, but I struggle to see how someone could
not take at least some offence to a statement like that?
Like, saying 'no offence' doesn't magically make it okay to say unkind things, you know? Acknowledge that your words have the potential to hurt, and make the decision of whether you think it's a still a thing worth saying or not. Not saying you can't say the thing, just saying you can't have it both ways at once. Make sense?
As for the sims in question, and the mysterious disagree-er...
Well, as I pointed out earlier in the thread, it's not like this is an isolated issue. From my perspective, there seems to be a very clear pattern of many many many images being 'disagreed' with, over a considerable period of time. It's almost always just the one click, it happens to damn near every post that includes an image of a same-sex couple, and it's been happening for a long long time. So that in itself complicates the situation. This person isn't just disagreeing with one person's (admittedly unusual) choices, they're disagreeing with anything that doesn't fit the monogamous heterosexual (and probably also cisgender, though I can't think of an example of an image of a trans sim being targeted) relationships they're used to. Big difference.
Also, while the content of southparkrocks' images don't
perfectly fit the profile usually targeted, the rest of it matches the pattern perfectly, and the content is close enough to the usual targets to make it very probable that this is the work of the same person. And if this person is indeed following her to other sites and targeting her posts and accounts there, that (imo) definitely crosses a line from 'rude and unwanted, but not particularly harmful' behaviour, to something that looks quite a bit more like targeted harassment.
Regardless of your personal opinion about her sims, she's a fellow human being, and her playstyle, while unusual, is not actually hurting anyone else. So, as I see it, she deserves a basic level of respect. Which definitely includes not having someone stalking her online profiles and getting them banned simply because they don't like what she does with her game.
So I guess I just wonder why you felt the need to directly reply to a post that's (A) about a year and a half old, and (B) several pages back in the thread, purely to add a comment that could be interpreted as supportive of the person who is doing these things? It just seems unnecessary, unhelpful, and just generally unkind.
