I am merely proposing that people don't shut down discourse and prevent people from expressing their opinions on these matters, that if there is any hope at all to mitigating any degree of certain issues then they deserve to be able to talk without being told that they need to grow a thicker skin and stop caring. That is literally all. And I as a person don't want to sacrifice parts of myself to the void because other people think other people won't change. That seems like it has never gone well. Whether or not they do change doesn't mean that I should let them or the world change me.how do you propose we fix this predicament then? like actually. are you that wet behind the ears that you think people on the internet will stop being rude just because we talk about it or because you ask them to? my brother, take a seat and actually listen to what you're saying. as far as we're concerned, the day that negativity is purged front the internet is the day that pigs will fly. so, wouldn't trying not to let it affect you be a better course of action considering comments like those are inevitable and will be forever?
those aren't mutually exclusive. sure, try to talk about it as much you like. but as long as we're talking about posting content on the internet, being able to shrug off negativity is a bare minimum.I am merely proposing that people don't shut down discourse and prevent people from expressing their opinions on these matters, that if there is any hope at all to mitigating any degree of certain issues then they deserve to be able to talk without being told that they need to grow a thicker skin and stop caring.
