Based. Bring back bare minimum requirements and expectations of people interacting with media, art, data, and programs.
I really hate that this ends up becoming a de facto gatekeeping tactic, but at some point, our creations and works cannot always be formatted for the lowest denominator. Art, media, interactive forms of data are meant to be a dialogue of sorts, an indirect conversation, and people can reasonably be expected to bring a certain level of attention and passion to that. At least I think so.
I apologize if this makes me sound like a douche. I really don't want it to, and at the same time, how else can we expect to grow and have real discussions and projects if we keep our content and conversations at a base level.
I'd love to hear people's thoughts, if y'all have any you'd like to share.
