+1. The reaction to the recent developments is in range of being a case of mass hysteria. Unbelievable levels of cringe and FUD being produced by a few prominent members of the community.

You are blaming the people who point out there is a problem, instead of the people causing the problem.

The proposed policy is terrible and based on the reaction of the people behind the proposal, they are fully determined to go through with it, which, to me, was very disheartening.

I see that a small part of the Rust community would love to blame it all on "Youtubers and streamers" without actually addressing any of their points.

The community, including many (not just a few) prominent members, gave detailed feedback on all the channels (see blogs, reddit, twitter and yt), and the only "rebuttal" of their points I hear is "stop the FUD", "you are not a lawyer so shut up", and "streamers drama".

Nowhere in your supposedly superior evaluation of the situation do I see a single of the supposedly cringe fud hysterical points addressed.

They all made specific points with the reasoning explained. If the reasoning was somehow invalid, you sure didn't show how.
