yeah, and it was definitely for the sake of baiting clicks despite their claims to the contrary
they knew what they were doing: briefly mentioning the rule-breaking skins that were grandfathered in, how some skin makers get a pass for breaking rules that only exist for others without getting into the suspicions of favoritism that circle around, showing how apparel and genes go harder in the "implied suffering is a no no" rule when skins are holder to higher standards, etc.
Just like you know what you’re doing with deliberately trying to stir and derail things up? Stop sucking the staff off people have a right to want things to be clearer.
I meant more like they chose their words (including the problematic go on strike theme) and their arguments very, very strategically to get the most eyes on their thread
AND that they knew very well how to skillfully talk around certain topics like for example whatwastheirname that got several skincents accepted that other people wouldn't presumably because they also did art for the site, which the more hardcore skincent fanbase would know because it was talked about extensively off-site
they knew what they were doing, it was just the right amount of incendiary for the sake of accomplishing what they want in getting people to read the topic and spread around support while maintaining plausible deniability on-site
