        They seem to ask how to phrase the same thing in such a way that you can’t come and reply that their tone is condescending.

        Much passive, very aggression, I find it hard to side with people this snarky :(

          Even when I ask what should I say instead?, people go ‘ooh, no, I wouldn’t say it like that’ instead of answering the fucking question.

          I’ve had this argument in a wide variety of contexts and tones-of-voice. All of them get the same asinine responses. This goes beyond resting bitch font, where people interpret whatever I write in the shittiest way possible. I’m starting to think the topic is just cursed. Like it’s impossible to have a sensible conversation about Valve’s market share. All efforts descend into snipping about the commenter, or spiral out into nonsense and denial.

          I beg of you, prove me wrong. What should I say instead?

            Yeah, I can’t answer your question either, because I find it may be either hard or impossible to come up with an answer
