You make a point to act like an asshole, you risk being stabbed. But my point is that, an individual should have the right to BE an asshole. And, if the words of their mouth get the ever living tar kicked outta them,tough. That's a result of their actions.
I suppose I do heavily agree with this, as I'm in no position to disagree given my other posts in this community. I've lost many friends because they simply don't agree with what me and other individuals say/do, and that's fine. Everyone reserves their right to be insulted, and everyone reserves their right to not be sensitive and just walk away from the dog shit on the floor.Â
Everyone deserves their right to shitpost and hurt feelings as much as they deserve the right to be offended by it. Freedom of expression is a beautiful thing, and it's a shame when others let writing get under their skin, even if it's not intended to and for them. I know many that are browsing this thread right now whom have changed because they just can't take a joke or because people actually were assholes. I guess this is what inspires people to be labeled as "ebil troles" or "toxic", when as you can just as easily disregard their opinion as easily as they can disregard yours.
Live and let live.
Edit: In the end, I think it's a matter of restraining your judgment of being mean. As it was stated, there's a time and place for everything. Being a dick for the lulz doesn't excuse being a dick to be mean because they have the right of free speech. There are consequences to words, and there are obvious implications that a word should be censored as to not hurt an individual or group of them to atleast show you're a decent human being. Being asked to stop a behavior is different from being demanded/oppressed to result in doing so, as well. The thread is just to create awareness on the regard.
