Everyone knows my stance on all this. As far as I'm concerned, both sides are correct, but I'm not going to admit anymore of this weak and oppressed attitude from either side, because both are equally blamable of this.

The matter is: Don't tell people to change their ways ever. I don't care if you write demon-on-demon action or politicalfest, never tell other users they should "go to Borealis if you want to write like that" or to "create an alternate continuity with your demons and gods". Likewise, never tell someone they should leave the wiki just because their fiction is centered around faction-wide conflict instead of character-based high fantasy. And never say writing differently from you should be a bannable offense.

If I want to put ten thousand gods in my fiction, I will. And if I want to ten thousand empire-wide debates in my fiction, I also will. This is a free shared universe and everyone is free to write about anything as long as it doesn't break the rules.

Wanting to make an intricate, politic-based story based around realistic themes? All fine. Telling users to leave the setting because their writing style doesn't cater to your view? Arguably counts as harassment.

Both writing styles can and should exist. And all should respect them.
