Want me to keep going? Cause we can do this all day long Terminal.
I asked you to name someone. Honestly, I was sort of hoping you'd try to name me.
Anyway, because I'm feeling kind of perverse, I'm going to show a side of myself that I don't normally show.
Because you know what, watching adult women cry about getting death threats, there's a part of me just hates them for being weak. Worse things happened to me when I was a child, and who the fuck was defending me? Who the fuck stood up and called that out for what it was? It certainly wasn't you, or any of these worthless simps crying over fake anime ladies.
You think I could have just cried and made it all better? Fuck no. Noone ever cared if I cried. I had to stop being weak really, really fast, because the alternative was death. You think I fucking care about death threats? You think they even register to me? I'm statistically a bigger threat to my own life than any other person on this planet. I was ready to die by the time I turned 17, and I already knew at that point that most people in this world would be glad if I did.
If I am nice, if I am kind, if I am empathetic, if I care about people being "bullied" online, it's not because any of qualities were shown to me, it's because I make the conscious effort to remember that this is the way things should be. People shouldn't have to develop the strength I did. People should receive sympathy and compassion when they are hurt, no matter who they are or how trivial the reasons seem. I was fortunate to meet someone very kind and wise and who was carrying far more trauma than me and who, among many other things, helped to remind me that pain is something we all experience within our own frame of reference and that it always matters.
But that doesn't mean you get to come to me and pretend that this is some kind of standard that applies to everyone, because it isn't and it doesn't. You don't get to pretend that you have any kind of moral outrage against bullying or harassment, because you don't. You only care when it happens to the "wrong" people. Because you'd have to be incredibly lacking in self-awareness to think that you don't live in a world where this kind of thing is absolutely normal to many people, and I'm not surprised those people are angry when confronted with the fact that bad things are only considered bad when they don't happen to them.
This isn't the oppression Olympics. You aren't ready for the Olympics. You're still at school sports day doing a fucking sack race.
