The way they have distorted the word 'bigotry' really sets off my autism. It was supposed to mean 'intolerant of other opinions', which is of course what they are, but they have memed it into just meaning 'has taboo opinions', implying that anybody who has such opinions is of course just irrationally prejudiced.

I don't know why, but I genuinely despise reviews that have image/gif memes in them. They always seem to have this pompous, arrogant attitude attached to them
