This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Abyssal Maw;385651Here, people obsess about the wording in the catalog for companies they hate, advertising games they don't play, imagining scenarios that haven't happened. It's not by policy, it's by default.

This is human nature, and not just restricted to rpg games.

People will find any tidbits of information to justify whatever they want to believe, and discount information which is contrary.  This is better known as the "confirmation bias".
