> Why are you attributing this to me

Because you wrote:

> If the opposition simply seeks to silence you, rather than to argue against you, how are they not malicious?

in response to:

> The industry should only be allowed to comment after the laws have been written and fulfill the goals of European citizens.

Where it's clear from your framing of an "opposition trying to silence you" that you think the industry lobby has at least some right to be heard before the council votes on policy. Which is something the statement you are replying to clearly doesn't agree with. And rather than accept that there is a disagreement of the purpose of the council or the acceptability of industry lobbyists influencing law or what not, you just frame it as a moral evil (maliciousness) on the part of the other commenter. A good faith reading of the comment you replied to has so many non-malicious interpretations.

Side note: if your comment implies something hard enough (intentionally or not) that multiple people are "windmill-tilting" against something that you think you aren't saying, it deserves some reflection on whether you may have miscommunicated your point.

This is an inherent feature of democracy. "The industry" consists entirely of people, of course you can't exclude them.

"Let's not allow rich people to participate in the political process" has just as many possible non-malicious interpretations as "Let's not allow black people to participate in the political process". i.e. none

And even above I'm steelmanning by assuming that Frieren didn't want to also exclude indie developers.
