These are the same guys who jump on anything negative you say about either a company they like or a game associated to that company. Its gotten really bad to the point where people even try and justify that behavior. Oh well what can you do... As for your retarded opinion on a game...well if you said something out of this world and failed to back it up..then im all for you being called out (perhaps not so harshly). People are way too liberal with their shitty opinions with absolutely no reasoning what so ever...then simply hide behind the fact that its their "opinion".

Opinions on voice acting and art-style have no grounds for calling someone retarded, as was the case with the context here. 

Hell, I'd say that resorting to calling someone something that offensive shows an immature mindset for the most part, imo.

Yes i agree calling someone retarded is out of line and ban worthy. But i am all for opinions being called out.

I'm not sure laws can educate people enough to stop lashing out at other "fanbases" or stop them from being so very thin-skinned - I mean it's almost hilarious to see people dance around the "fanboy" law, which in it's core already was ment to stop these attacks, yet it only made people create different words with the same meaning.

What we'd end up with likely is just a way smaller community of people that don't post/discuss/argue a lot, like me.
