as if the fact that the words that hinkley wrote are from a popular video game excuses the fact that hinkley just also called zer00eyz horrible.

So if two sentences that make no sense to you sandwich one that does, you should totally accept the middle one at face value.

Yes. You chose to repeat those words in that sequence in that place. You could have said anything else in the whole wide world, but you chose to use a quote from an ancient video game stating that someone was horrible. Sorry if I'm being autistic and taking things too literally again, working on having social skills was a different thread from today.

Is it an autistic thing to pull a single sentence out of its context to treat literally? I wasn't familiar with that being a thing.

If that sentence was by itself, I would understand your complaint. But as-is I'm having a hard time seeing the issue.

And the weird analogy where you added "someone's pointing a gun at you" undermines your stance more than it helps.
