      Yep, you said forcing it “everywhere”, not forcing it on you, which I think is completely appropriate.

        What is he forcing? Are you forced to read his comments, engage with his posts? Is the thorn being beamed into people’s skulls like the Futurama dream ads?

        Y’all are just occasionally happening upon a character you’re not familiar with being used in a way you’re not used to and you’re annoyed at being challenged a bit every now and then. He’s not “forcing” anything.

        Again, it’s not a huge deal in this case, but this same logic applied to something more serious can be dangerous. It’s the same logic conservatives and “centrists” (embarassed conservatives) use to complain about queer people “forcing” their “lifestyle” everywhere. They’re just annoyed at having to acknowledge their existence.
