many of you interpret things intentionally in the worst light

this is really annoying, and i find it really frustrating when people do this to me, especially based on a forum comment. forum comments are usually pretty general and then someone comes in with peripheral expectation like i’m supposed to have summed up the entirety of my world view and all possible exceptions and points of view against it in the same post. this is in general on the internet, people assume the worst or assume you don’t know or understand the position you’re taking, and then want to correct you, or explain to you, and it’s fucking annoying.

this hasn’t really happened to me here though more than maybe one or two times, so if you’re experiencing that and others aren’t, ???

you are hostile to newcomer and outsider

you have to consider as well that this place is constantly batting against newcomers genuinely bringing the worst opinions, like that tankie who was here the other week threatening to put all anarchists against the wall as soon as the revolution happens… deal with that kind of thing enough times and yeah, it gets exhausting trying to filter.

but that’s not a general hostility against new people. it’s a hostility towards newcomers who walk in through the front door speaking with the voice of authority and pissing wildly into the face of anyone who doesn’t agree with their bad takes

i feel i cannot even have a real conversation with half of the more active userbase

that’s just the nature of forums. ultimately we’re all strangers just seeing snapshots of disparate opinions. you’re expecting something from here that isn’t the purpose. i don’t feel like i’m having “real conversations” with people here 90% of the time either, but i also don’t expect usernames on the internet to fill that role for me.

engage with my point via some self reflection

goes both ways

what you do next, well that's up to you

thanks morpheus

Well, until I just saw your post in the Roe post, literally a minute ago, I thought you were a dude so...

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I accuse boys of throwing fits all the time. It isn't gendered, if anything I'm accusing you of acting like a child.

What gender is a fit?

Do you mean Fitz?

You're throwing someone's son?


“Fitz fixes feists fits. Fat suffices.”

Never! (Me problem, nothing personal)

But I do hope people call me out when I cross some sort line (especially if it's like a circle of protection or something).
