I think it’s common courtesy to read, and follow the rules when you go to a public place. The same holds true on the internet. If, for some reason, you’re allowed to shit on the floor when you’re at a friend’s house, then nobody is stopping you from doing it. However, you shouldn’t expect to shit on the floor in a public place and reasonably get away with it. That’s because rules are pretty important to maintain a healthy environment, be it online or offline. Now of course, if you’re caught shitting on the floor publicly, you can’t really say that you didn’t read the rules, because people were telling you the whole time not to shit on the floor anyway, and furthermore, it’s kind of common knowledge to not shit on the floor, and I think you’d agree that shitting on the floor publicly is indeed, pretty cringe. You just can’t use a technicality of ‘but it says “everything related to x”, so everything fits, it’s the problem of the rules not being written well enough’ because you know well enough that some things, when frowned upon, are just not supposed to be done. But I don’t know, keep complaining about “dIsCoRd MoDEraTors oppressing me” while irritating everyone around you, and argue on the semantics of the word “cringe” whilst missing the entire point of what you’re not supposed to do.
