Please let people dislike trivial things without calling it "pretentious."

My comment is obviously something of a joke. It doesn't really hurt anyone except staunch FortniteBR fans, and we all know they don't have souls so that fine.

Pretentious (adjective): making usually unjustified or excessive claims (as of value or standing).

> That Youtube is awful. People are awful. Fortnite Battle Royale is awful.

I definitely used the word right, and I recognized you being facetious, but I still agree with you for the most part because there is a nugget of truth in what you said.

But you think that I'm right, so you don't think I'm unjustified. Do you think they're excessive? Should I have used like a toki-pona word or something?
