Sometimes people question why I argue so much with stupid people.

For college-level English, I read a book about how capitalism was lying to us and wouldn't bring us the paradise it promised. The author's solution to this was Christianity. This author won a World Fantasy Award: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Persuasion_Nation

If you ignore stupid people, you ignore a lot of the people who influence the culture around you.

Sometimes it confuses me that the people who say "if you don't like the content on AO3, make your own archive instead of trying to change this one" are on the opposite side of the political divide from the people who say "if you don't like the content in Dungeons and Dragons, make your own game instead of trying to change this one." They seem like the same argument.

(Then again, the people who liked D&D the way it used to be made their own game. It's called Hackmaster, and you're welcome to it, but I ain't touching that with a ten-foot pole.)
