No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Reminds me of a Hindu legend where a being called Hiranyakashipu gained certain powers: he was invulnerable to humans, devas (divine beings), and animals; he could not be killed in the daytime nor in the nighttime; he could not be killed indoors or outdoors; he could not be killed on the earth or in the air; he was invulnerable to living things and non-living things. So naturally:
