I have mentioned empathy to you before and this was a simple follow up to that same thought. It's not so much about being wrong for speaking about your wants, it's more about invalidating what soemone else asks for and focusing exclusively on yourself.

The OP only suggested that there be a decrease in the focus on Spider Man and the X-men, not that they be eliminated outright. They made room for the wants of others while still expressing their own. Your comment was only focussed on your needs with zero accommodation for the original track of dialogue, which is narcissistic and a patternistic theme with you. Many of us want Titania, very badly in fact. Many of us want more than just Spidey and X-men characters. We've said so for years and these very sentiments are reflected in the comments above this one in which people are calling out for a plurality of characters.

Going by the logic (or illogic) of your comment regarding individuality, in that sense, why should anyone care about whether you are hired as a teacher, about recent loses of your friends, about the increase in your rent, or what homes you and your wife can or cannot buy? All lamentations that you've posted on the thread totally independent of the topics at hand. The answer is that people care because whether they like you, or not, they accept that you share a community with them and they can empathize.

Fair enough. I worded my post badly.
