people who are deathly fixated on 'realism' to whine about things like this

people are complaining that the effects of the powers aren't realistic

Look at the OP -- "it just seems completely insane to go around shooting dangerous radiation everywhere". They're fixated on how radiation works... in the real world. And you see this down through the thread -- "Citizens know what to do when their house is on fire, but if their neighborhood is contaminated with harmful radiation they might not even know it."  "What you're ignoring is the popular understanding that radiation can have lasting effects that are not visible."  "Again - even in comic books, it's not insane to wonder if weaponized radiation has harmful side effects."  "Because radiation is the unique power type that is popularly understood to leave behind invisible death"  -- that people keep harping on radiation effects in the real world and talking about how this makes radiation powers bad in the game world.
