I can get behind this one

Except that for the most part, that's not the way self votes go down.

It's like everything else in mafia. You try to understand what the player is thinking in the particular circumstance to determine if it coming from a place of sincere frustration (or something) or if it's an act.

Irrelevant. Until everyone understands that self-voting is not in any way OK for town to be doing, acting like there are legitimate reasons for townies to self-vote is only giving the scum more shit to hide behind, and also makes it harder for townies to play when other townies are refusing to.

Sure, but if this is your standard, you should start by advocating for lynch all lurkers.
