I never said anything about being "victimized" I just think that the people who push "perfect" are going to drive away those who just want to learn to do something.
You run into this with every group out there, there is always "little Miss (or Mr guys do it too) Perfect". Mostly the new person begins with hero worship and ends up hating them and the group at large. Unless someone steps in and teaches them it is ok not to be perfect, to use a short cut, and some days it is just your turn in the barrel.
I am going to make a guess and you can tell me that I am wrong, but you don't hang around much with the under twenty crowd do you?
There are plenty of people who are not ‘pushing perfect’. And there is nothing at all wrong with people who present more extravagant or aspirational content.
I’ve spent my entire working career among people 18 to mid 20s. They are not all dunces who can’t scale this kind of content down to their own situations.
There is room for everything, and you can’t hold everyone by the hand to guarantee that nothing makes them feel ‘imperfect’.
