Indeed.Again, yes it is rude to tell people that you hate the thing someone else likes and that it shouldn't exist.
Eh... that's not my own experience at least. The amount of hostility I've seen in RPG forums (worst of all was the original WotC official D&D forum I think) beats on average every other forum I've been part of, and I've been even on political and religious forums, in fact I've been more than once tempted to quit all RPG forums for good. It still fortunately doesn't reach the hostility of social networks, which is why I'm not on them except one which I barely use at all anyway. But again, that's my own experience only.You could probably swap out "D&D Community" for "Knitting Community" or "[Sport] Community" or any number of categories of so-called communities out there and little would change about everything that follows in a general sense.
If I don’t want a rule in my game, you are saying it’s wrong for me to say so whereas you can want it and by extension say so.Never did. The whole OP is about how trying to control the preferences of others is bad, remember?
Never tried to. Unless you think saying "hey, can we all be a bit more polite and mindful of the preferences of other people?" is trying to "control the speech of other people".
Again, yes it is rude to tell people that you hate the thing someone else likes and that it shouldn't exist. If I told you that I hate something you really like and wish it didn't exist, that would be rude/offensive. You can dislike something without wishing for it to not exist as an option for the people that do like it (I do the same with Dragonlance).
If something changes in a new printing of the thing I like or a setting is updated in a way I don't like, I can ignore it and use the older version.

we do have a divide in portuguese, I just never made the connection that ape meant that. Planet of the apes being translated to Planeta dos Macacos (planet of the monkeys) never helped.To be fair, that might be a language issue: I remember being g surprised that the divide is less strong in Romance languages than it is in English, though it is a biological breakpoint.
I knew this video had to be propaganda!Great and now we have a chart that implies the Existance of Tarsiers, which we all know to be a myth propagated by Big Primate (a collection of unusually sized gorillas)
Ah, I see. I know from having looked into the history of Curious George that French really doesn't make the distinction. And historically, English was fuzzy about it: Macaques used to be called Barbary Apes despite being monkeys.we do have a divide in portuguese, I just never made the connection that ape meant that.
