It's not about having opposing viewpoints. You can hate Eternum all you want for all I care. It's the complete lack of logic behind your initial comment is what I find absurd lol.
You said that a simple REFERENCE got you on the verge of quitting. Not like an incite of hate speech or some personal attack. A simple reference to another work. A work which has nothing offensive in it to warrant such a reaction. It's like if you hated broccoli and threatened to break up with your partner for even saying the word again lmao.
And what I found even more hilarious is your second paragraph. You make it seem as though the decision to refer to another AVN has catastrophic effects on the developer's following. Again, utter hilarity.
