these types also tend to excuse their behavior as being blunt or just being honest. But they get really fucking upset when people call them out on it or give them the same in return.

Of course they don't like it, it keeps them from being able to hassle someone with impunity.

I've long noticed that right wingers have the most trigger-happy block fingers. Total snowflakes who can't handle criticism or discussing anything reasonably.

Personally, I never block anyone.

They love the "rules for thee and not for me" approach.

I didn't used to block people unless they were directly harassing me (happens as a public figure of any kind). This year changed that. My block list is now enormous.

Oh believe me, it's tempting. But I have a thick skin and can handle whatever they choose to dish out. When they do that. it also gives me an opportunity to sharpen my savage wit in replying to them.

Many of them have also shown themselves to be total cowards by sniping and blocking me.

Puppy's skin eroded heh

The Overton window has been steadily dragged to the right. Anyone who can't take a real stand ultimately stands for nothing.

I can consider however I please to. You have the same ability to not accept it.

Center means not pushing against the status quo. That plays perfectly into right wing politics ability to "conserve" said status quo.

"Parties" and "leanings" aren't the same. If anything being in the middle or neither leaning means one does nothing at all. Sounds boring.

So I guess the issue is how to appease everyone. Got a solution?

So you're complaining that people that want to see something change are having discourse?

How does one choose what is "good" or "bad" without a bias? Enlighten us.

Look it up?

I have the right to call out anyone I want for anything I choose.

What DO you stand for? The status quo?

So you support the tolerance paradox. Cool.

I oppose both the Reps and the Dems without supporting the status quo.

The overton window is not A "Buzzword". Look it up. It's really easy. Of course I know what it fuci8ng means or I wouldn't have used it.

It means no such thing. I was very specific in what I called you out on, and it wasn't for being a pedo or a rapist.

I've not made any assumptions about you.

Again, look it the fuck up then. It's REALLY easy to do. It's ALSO not a buzzword.

I read and understood everything you said.

Those aren't "Buzzwords". They've been around a long time, and are not particularly 'fashionable in a particular time or context" right now.

You're just being illogical and ridiculous.

Drumpf is a fascist. By not directly opposing him and the Reps you're tacitly supporting fascism.

Bullshit. Try not putting words in my mouth.

I said nothing like you "Having to protest or making YT videos about it to not support them".

Not fighting something is the same thing as tacitly supporting it. You're supporting fascism.

I'm clearly not trying to "Manipulate you into supporting me". I don't give a shit whether you "Support" me or not.

•Guy says he's "politically neutral".

•"Politically Neutral" doesn't exist.

•Doesn't want to be labelled and says you, as an individual and not an authority on any subject, have no [assumedly] legal right to call him anything.

•Does not elaborate on views when asked so we can learn more than "a few words" about them.

•Leaves.

Huh... that escalated quickly while I was gone.

They deleted everything, but my summary got it pretty good.

I have that effect on centrists.

Holding a mirror of truth up to them rarely turns out without some sort of blow up. American selfishness is a very stubborn position and doesn't like to be reasoned with.

Dude ended up making a complete ass of himself.

First he comes into a political discussion, and argues against politics. He was hardly being "Politically neutral", either.

Next, he whines about my using words he doesn't understand. Bitch, when I come across a word I don't know, I don't whine about it, I look it up. Do your own fucking homework. That's not MY job.

The guy had absolutely zero sense of logic' and he ended up proving that he stands for absolutely nothing by deleting all of his comments. Wow.

You would THINK so, but by American standards everything remotely not right wing is considered left radicalism, ergo centrism ala America is right wing.

People here do not realize how radically right wing our culture is.

yup, they basically tell on themselves

I've noticed the bondage community is full of conservatives. I've tried to comprehend why.

*insert pithy quip about Trump being their dom here*

He'd have a heart attack if he did that XD

Makes sense if you think about it, given how they're all about dominance and control. Except in their case, consent is clearly not a factor as long as they're the ones on top. <.<

I look at it as more how BDSM displays such clear power structures. Structures many of them think exist intrinsically.

Repression. The word you're looking for is "repression."

I think some I've known like the closet a bit too much.

Got blocked by a far right dude here for calling out another guy who got suspended for, iirc, encouraging political violence over the K-neck dude's assassination. He himself has made pretty hateful comments to others in the past so that always befuddled me...

There's also the ones that call you "childish" and "immature" for blocking. No, buddy, that's exactly WHY I blocked YOU. Projection much? 😒😒😒

Projection is a big part of their whole deal.

Yeah, no kidding.

Cute pfp, by the way. 😆😆🥰🥰

Thanks! FelisRandomis made it X3

I remember how loud a certain subset of the userbase here screamed when the site gave us the ability to hide comments (on our own submissions, mind). Very telling.

Personally, I favor the system that they have on e6 that allows changes to comments at any time etc. but keeps a history of changes to comments available.

The "You block I win 🤣🤣🤣" crowd are a shining example of rightist and cis fragility.

"I apologize for Wimp-Lo. He is an idiot. We have trained him wrong as a joke."
"I'm bleeding, making me the victor!"

Urge... to quote film... rising...

FOR REAL. Every time I see someone bellyaching about it, like in the FA update journals, they give me the biggest obnoxious creep vibes. >_> Some dumbasses refuse to recognize the difference between the freedom to say shit and the privilege of an audience.

I have about 8 folks I've blocked simply based on I have limited number of hours of life and wasting that time on full on dumbasses is not something I choose to do.
Basically their value is not enough for me to burn my life responding to dumbassery.

Boy, do I feel that...

I blocked someone for having an ego the size of the Sun itself.
Then she got angry at me for doing so and called me a pedo. To this day, I'm still trying to wrap my head around where she even got that from.
