That said, "What's the appeal of ____?" is inherently phrased as a challenge, as though you don't think it looks appealing and are seeing if anyone can change your mind. People responding defensively to challenges is pretty normal. Consider something more along the lines of "How is ____?" or "I like X, is Y anything like that?" that adopt a more neutral position of seeking feedback. No one on PotD took it as a challenge when I asked about Animal Crossing. Instead they offered but detailed information as to what makes the game good. I get what youre saying about the Whats the appeal in X but the choice to respond defensively arises from ones own insecurities, no? Ill give you an example. Ive used the term, Not bad many times. How was my ambrosia salad, Hornedlion? Not bad. Thank you. But one time I used it and the person took offense to it. Like, I was perplexed. Lady, Im saying your fish pudding is not bad. Im even saying we should do this again next time your husband is out of town! Whats wrong with you?! --- "Wham wham bam bam" - the sound of Microsoft getting destroyed by Sony again ...
