I'm not the person you replied to, but I don't use "are you fucking kidding me" in normal everyday real life conversation with strangers when they have done nothing to deserve that kind of attitude. Maybe you and your circle do. But not everyone does. Realize that. The entire Internet isn't 4chan. Some of us adults enjoy non-confrontational social interaction.
I'm also more than four decades old, and I agree with the OP of this thread. I never got death threats for my opinions back in '98. I do now.
Mate, it’s the most mundane comment ever. Why you’re getting at all worked up over it is beyond me but okay; everyone’s gotta have something in their life even if it’s being a miserable cunt on the Internet.
Cool? I’ve never had death threats in the past or now, so rather than taking that as an indication of the state of internet users I’d rather be looking inward, no?
There you go again. You literally can't stop. Your entire personality is based on putting others down and trying to feel superior over them.
Oh no I called you miserable, how horrific.
I'm curious. Why though? What does it get you when you call people names or have this kind of attitude? Does it feel good or something?
Mate, you're the one trying to enforce some prudish seppo standards about language etiquette onto others. Why would I do anything but not consider that a miserable existence, and thus call it out?
"Enforce" implies I am coercing you to be a bit more friendly online. I am merely suggesting it for future interactions, and maybe we can start to do something together about the subject of the video that was posted here and make the Internet just a bit more tolerable for all.
Mate, you saw the word 'fucking' and somehow took it as a personal attack. This has nothing to do with being friendly, it's about your personal shortcoming.
And frankly the Internet is in a good state right now in regards to waking up to corporate control. Socially it's exactly the same, you've got a diverse range of people all over the world. So no? I'm happy with the trajectory and I certainly don't want it changed towards the viewpoint of someone who thinks 'fuck' is the end of the world.
I have no issue with the word "fuck". I'll say it all goddamn day long. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
I have issues when it's directed at people that didn't deserve it. That's all. Basic grade school shit that everybody learns. You've already called me a "cunt" twice while I have not insulted you in any way. This is not about the word itself.
They could be a terrible misanthropic human being who uses attacking language to hurt people before they can hurt them.
Or they could just be Australian
