    Heh, you can tell that you’re trying to talk with a reasonable person when the response to your fairly diplomatic comment was to compare you to pedophiles defending Nazi war criminals.

    But in any case, I do agree with you that I absolutely could have handled the original response much better by not being an outright smartass twat, but I’m honestly not too sure the outcome would have been any better considering this frankly incredible tantrum going on about rape culture being out of control and calling people who are trying to defuse the situation pedophiles.

    I was having a bit of a crummy day and felt like being snarky, but this… whatever this is that’s going on is just something else entirely.

      I just now came back to this thread and started reading. I was avoiding it, because honestly it was intimidating when I suddenly had a bunch of replies about something I knew might be controversial.

      I don’t know what you’re talking about with Nazis and shit, but I guess I’m about to find out…

        I did specifically say that yes, being a snarky asshole was stupid of me and I could have not been one in my initial answer. So, yes, I was an asshole and that’s not something I or anybody else should be doing. That’s not defensiveness, that’s me saying I screwed up.

        But can you honestly tell me that you think it’s sensible behavior from this other person to compare a completely random onlooker who’s trying to defuse this scene to a pedophile defending Nazi war criminals? Like, does that strike you as a good way for someone to handle it when there’s a conflict and someone from the outside tries to be diplomatic and calm things down?

        I also really don’t understand what you’re trying to accomplish with these replies. Just popping up replying to my comments with petty insults doesn’t seem to paint you in a light that’s any better than my initial twattery towards the original commenter. If you want to actually say something, take a moment and formulate your thoughts? Because this… whatever it is you’re doing really isn’t any better than my original snark, so if you agree with the original commenter than I should have done better (and frankly I agree with them on that point at least), maybe don’t take your turn at being an antagonistic asshole just because you feel like venting – the way I did?

          Just using the website, and when I’m on mobile I’m not going to type a multi paragraph essay to say one thing.

            Right, and is being on mobile a good reason for you to keep this snark going? It seems like you’d rather just choose to be pissed at me or something and continue this ribbing instead of, well, any other option.

            If you think that being an asshole is generally not a good thing and that I was wrong to do it, why do you figure you’re justified in acting like this?

              Part of the core function of the website is to post, if you’re tired of my shit stop responding

                Heh, right, I don’t know why I thought this’d go anywhere, but hey can’t fault a person for trying at least 🤷

                Well, enjoy being pissed off I guess?

                  No need to project, I was just voicing dissent. I’m a removed but I didn’t even call you a fascist.

          I wasn’t aware there was a limit on the number of posts we were allowed.

          I’ve resigned myself to the fact that there’s just s lot of places on lemmy where “dark humor” and CSAM reign supreme, can’t say I blame others for having a stronger response.
