Whatever he meant in itself, he would had to have taken both ‘communities’ and grade them alongside.
The reasons @churlocker raised on what we feel of Pokémon are basic community foundations and Pokémon is mega generalistic and interculturally variable as it’s cliques within larger or smaller ones. What leads it to negative at core is it’s competitive nature at an obsessive, Machiavellian 2 faced level of dishonesty within it’s clique crowds of elitists; collectors and players. One way of understanding his stance is similar to when I attempted to *am-hem state my own unpopular opinion on his work before this thread’s existence and the backlash it followed for something I tried to say that I strongly believed was wrong. Reminds me I’ll have to get back to it.
