The original post is playing the victim card. A classic manipulative tactic.
Other people engaged because that's how manipulation works. I almost engaged before I recognized that I was being manipulated into defending a position on a premise I don't even agree with.
Once you recognize the patterns of manipulative behaviour it becomes easier to stop yourself from engaging. Manipulative people depend on people who can't identify the bullshit.
The other reply to me was also clearly someone trying to manipulate me by saying I say/think/implied things that I didnt. Always best not to engage.
Yep there's no way they didn't see it coming. I'm not saying this was day 1 intent but surely before release somebody had the realization that it had potential to be used in other ways.
