You have your outside voice and your inside voice. You can clap back at libs like a saucy biatch doing your favorite Game of Thrones impression, but you can't treat people who have encouraged and supported your product like subtards the first time they raise concerns. Or the second time, or third.

The number of "anti-woke"/"centrist" creatives who don't understand this is staggering. When the libs wage war against you and normal people start sending your responses to the moon, they're not signing up for your cult of personality, they're defending the newest breach in the walls of Helm's Deep. If you drop a tactical nuke on the orcs, that's fantastic. If you think that gives you the right to drop a nuke on people inside the gates because they're asking questions, you're an idiot.

Sometimes I wonder if the thought process is that simple. "People loved it when I BTFOed that mentally ill zombie, they like my style. Now watch as I BTFO this youtuber who's been a fan for almost 10 years because he covered a negative rumor. Wait people don't like that?"

"But I'm a force of nature/I built this company with my blood and sweat/the masses will never understand my dedication/haters will come and go" - I'm sure your family and friends believe this. You're the most distinctive person they know. The rest of us have seen like 10 or 20 of you.

That sounds cruel and devaluing of your unique accomplishments and abilities, but no one is bigger than history. The people that appear that way simply respected what you did not. No one is so special that they have the right to selfishly disregard any community. That's a boomer delusion, man as a god. Humble yourself.
