When you’re surrounded by people who can turn into the potential snake and slander your name, among many other things, it’s really just a precaution and a way to protect yourself, as bizarre as it sounds coming on a forum of some video game. Some people are jaded or outright pessimistic and don’t trust anybody, some trust everyone and don’t feel the need to do this.
Really surprised that you of all people pull this idiotic meme, tbh.
