It is not just pointless for others. For some, it is harmful.
"Fuck this" is not an attack on the author's intent. it's a valid reaction to how it lands for some readers. If the pressure is nonexistent for you, great! But people other than you are also reading it.
It would take some serious self righteousness to take this as a message to the former.
The issue I had with the response was the direct attack on the author's intent e.g. "fuck this".
There are plenty of other comments that state their disagreement or why it didn't land with them without taking it to the level of shutting down the op.
I don't understand the need to diminish the attempt at a potentially helpful mindset. It's helpful to some, pointless for others.
