100% with you. It's like writing "Period" at the end of what you said, as if that makes it more true. And, ironically, it's almost always some take that requires ignoring all nuance.

It isn't ironic at all. Ignoring nuance is the whole point. Saying "Period." at the end of a statement emphasizes that the statement is complete, and that you will not entertain any qualifying subclauses being appended to it. It's explicitly rejecting nuance.

Still annoying, though.
