two wrongs dont make a right
He didn't exactly do wrong by Maxx. His original bit of advice wasn't insulting, just harsh. It wasn't until SystemctOS called him a furcigarette that he got inflammatory.
Maxx's problem is that he isn't putting effort into anything and expects things to change and he's afraid of breaking the mold. This is a problem a lot of people have around that age, and telling them it's just going to get better isn't helpful whatsoever. Fab could have put it in a nicer tone but was it wasn't that mean in the first place.
Being hostile for literally no loving reason and not sugarcoating things are two different things
It was nowhere near hostile lmao
