To be honest, I post way more in the non-Animal Crossing sections and I think that while there are some controversial topics, people can still have a mature discussion. We shouldn’t allow a few people that can’t debate like an adult, you know, without the personal insults, to ruin that. There are definitely people here that can handle controversial topics like that, and if something bothers someone, they can choose not to take part in said discussion. I’m a minority in some of my political views, but I’ve never once been called out or told I was specifically wrong. I’ve had people respond to me and debate, but it was never personal.
I am sorry you are leaving the forums, but this is just my two cents.
