Some of you are so fucking harsh on an 18 year old. Just hit the block button, there's plenty of wankers to complain about.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh please.

[(Anonymous)]

You can be a wanker at 18 just as easily as at 28 or 38 or 48, coalie.

[(Anonymous)]

Go back to the kids’ table.

[(Anonymous)]

Fuck off, we're not his babysitters.

[(Anonymous)]

You are He is an adult posting slurs and bad takes in a public place. The consequence is losing the respect of others. That's how human interactions work.

He did what he is used to doing with his friends before acclimating. Annoying? Yes. But you're all acting like it's some big crime when we're at the same space with no-homo writers and a whole bunch of other dickheads.

You're not slick with the 'you are', lol. Some of us just have the tiniest bit of empathy and patience.

[(Anonymous)]

Uh huh.

I blocked him for a completely different reason. For a stream of TMI about negative family experiences that borderline triggered me.

[(Anonymous)]

CYRT

Yeah, there's a lot of TMI going on. I have so many people blocked because they can't learn to use warnings and spoiler marks, for real.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah yes, you’re just better than all of us for not minding Elijah’s personality and bad behavior. So admirable. If only we had empathy. If only we too were unbothered by their shit all over the table.

[(Anonymous)]

Elijah is fucking annoying. There's a difference between acknowledging that and holding any bad thing they've ever done against them forever.

[(Anonymous)]

You'll point to where that is happening here?

[(Anonymous)]

"Forever"? It's not like this is ancient history. If people are still complaining about the same incidents a year from now, then yeah, maybe you'll have a point.

[(Anonymous)]

Has he actually done that much acclimating? The last time I checked in was like a week ago, and he was exactly as annoying as he'd ever been. ("Normie" ships, omfg.)

Elijah, if your feelings are hurt by others saying in a different place that things you said were hurtful, use it as a growth opportunity. No one's calling for your head or screaming that you're cancelled. We're complaining about you on an anon meme, which is far more empathetic and patient than what you and your friends would do in the reverse situation.

Elijah is too much teenager for my hobby time and I have him blocked, but coalie? This statement makes me like you way less:

which is far more empathetic and patient than what you and your friends would do in the reverse situation.

You're right. I have no reason to assume he and his fellow teens where he picked up slurs would harass and doxx people who said things they don't like. I made the assumption based only on what all the other teens I've seen throwing around slurs have done to people who said things they don't like.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, let's offer empathy and patience to the adult man using the f-word on the internet, and not to the LGBT+ people who had to see that.

[(Anonymous)]

Not to the *other LGBTQ people. And I hate it, I blocked it, but it’s 100% a code-switching problem, don’t be obtuse.

He's definitely not in the right crowd to be using that sort of terminology, but he's using terms that apply to himself. Let's not pretend like gay men referring to themselves or groups they belong to with that particular f-word is any sort of rare.

[(Anonymous)]

He’s also LGBT+. He just also seems to conflate being edgy with being an adult. It’s very middle school but not, like, idk, a random cishet redditor who got lost.

[(Anonymous)]

Instead of explaining it as 'code switching' or 'It's important to use a different set of words here because we're trying to be politically neutral', a lot of people tend to go 'If you say faggot you are committing HATE CRIMES >:CCCC no matter the context!!1111 U should NEVAR SAY IT!!!!'

Which makes it less of a 'Getting along with others' issue, and more of a 'Someone is oppressing my right to free speech' issue. When antis are also oppressing the right to write kinky porn, the two can blur.

We're helping him to grow by teaching him not to be a jackass in public.
