interestingly, OP, I find that the inability to discuss calmly is because we're at the fringes of the enthusiast forum. People care very passionately about what could be considered very minor things, which is a double-edged sword, of positive hype and outrage threads about basically nothing. This passion is what makes an enthusiast forum an interesting place, rather than where people just agree.
The Sekiro hard mode thread was something I nope'd out of because I was not interested in counter-arguing "git gud".
I personally do not see many false attributions of harassment here, mostly a lot of people who don't think that much about what they're posting (like "I don't want politics in my videogames"). I don't see why people shouldn't be called out for it. they sure as hell aren't on gamefaqs, reddit or any of the chans, let alone the other place.
What we need is more people actually engaging with other, instead of just talking across each other then dismissing the other as mental. In the spirit of the Internet being a microcosm of life we could also do with it irl, to be honest.
