Is it recreational rudeness or is the rudeness meant to convey something?

Like you both could have easily just said nothing, so "I don't care" isn't what's being conveyed.

I really don't understand what the goal is. Unless it's just like boredom and it's fishing for drama, outside of that I don't get the logic behind being rude for no reason.

I know some people are rude towards me, or dislike that I'm not in lock-step with them politically, but like the kinds of overtly rude responses still do baffle me.

You act like whatever this rudeness is, the reason for it is crystal clear. So please, without vague allusions, using specific words, what specifically would you say is the issue?

This kind of response, for example, makes total sense to me. I totally understand lots of people being like "not interested" and moving on. Just because I found a conversation interesting doesn't mean everybody will.

The rude responses do still confuse me though...

I'm not sure what "my reputation" is supposed to mean. I'll interpret it possibly more charitable than you might have meant and interpret it as "guy who doesn't necessarily share the common perspectives around here around everything."

And idk, I'm interested in diverse perspectives, so it stands to reason that others here might be interested too.

I mean I could try to "sell" the video with setup, but I don't even think it's that amazing, it's not my perspective, but it's also not not my perspective. It was just a political conversation I found interesting.

I guess, in my head, I like imagining some people some times are curious about perspectives they wouldn't otherwise necessarily hear, because I am that way. And so I shared it in case there was such a person.

I'm fine with it getting no responses, but I do get confused by rude responses.

Idk, do you think sharing it is a mistake? If so, why?

The whole sea-lion thing doesn't even make sense.

What's the idea, it's a person who asks you questions and is polite and that proves they are bad?

That doesn't make any sense. It seems like people invoke this "sea-lion" claim when they are challenged or questioned, and then if you ask them what they even mean, or what it would look like to challenge or question them in a way that isn't "sea-lioning" they also call that "sea-lioning". Which, for no apparent reason, I guess means they think they are justified in being dismissive towards it.

IMO, seems like a lot of work to just indirectly say "I don't like being challenged".

And even if that is the case, like, how is me sharing a video something that is invading your space? It has nothing to do with you. Can I invent a dismissive animal name for somebody who comes into a topic and takes it personally when it has nothing to do with them?

Stop "Selfish Otter"ing, Hornezz. It's not about you, Selfish Otter. Sometimes people just share videos and it's not a personal attack on your space or self, it's just people sharing videos you aren't into.

No one on planet earth is watching an unqualified 44 minute video with absolutely no context.

Post what was interesting. What you liked about it. What you thought that other people with similar thoughts than yours would like.

Maybe then at least like 1 person will skim through it but otherwise you're just vomiting out a video that no one is gonna watch based on who you are and your usual garbage opinions.

He gets it.

He just does it anyway and pretends he doesn't understand why people are being "rude" to him.

It's not rude to treat people better than they deserve, though, so even there he's wrong.

You'll never improve at this until you get some perspective on how other people view you.

I know your type like to refer to "the marketplace of ideas", but even that metaphor implies its existence as a "marketplace", with different "vendors" and you have vendors that are trusted, and vendors that are less trusted.

Ultimately, you'll still have to effectively sell your "product", and if someone with your mod history were to present what is essentially "a black box" and expect people to trust you, that's when you truly failed at understanding your business and your customers.

Like most discussions it can't be summed up in 2 seconds. It talks about mental health, free speech, social media's negative effects particularly among certain age groups/demographics, certain campus politics, and many other things. I don't want to summarize stuff because often people just latch onto a headline or a summary and turn it into a long discussion over a title and not the content itself.

But like, you don't have to watch it. Nobody does. Skip it, skim through it. I just shared it because I found it interesting, and thought somebody else here might. But if nobody does that's fine too.

I don't understand why it feels like I'm supposed to "sell" this video if I want people to watch it. Watch it or don't. Take it or leave it. It's literally just a video I found interesting that I thought others might find interesting too.

Ultimately, you'll still have to effectively sell your "product", and if someone with your mod history were to present what is essentially "a black box" and expect people to trust you, that's when you truly failed at understanding your business and your customers.

Firstly, I don't know what "mod history" has to do with trust. It seems like it has to do with understanding and inferring the rules and expectations of an environment and playing by the rules to the best of your ability.

I don't think you know what "my type" is. As I fundamentally don't see any of this the way you are representing.

IMO Ideas aren't sales, ideas are about discussion and people both learning from each other. It's not winning and losing, it's people enriching each other with different perspectives.

I don't see people I disagree with as enemies or customers, they are people who I might have some insight to offer to, and also people who might have insight to offer me. Nobody is a perfect oracle of truth, you learn/grow by challenging yourself, which is why I am interested in diverse perspectives including those that are novel to me, and infer that others in the world might be similarly interested too.

Who says you are supposed to watch it? I didn't.

I just shared it. I didn't demand anybody watch it. I only would need to sell if I was personally invested in as many people watching as possible. But I am not. I was sharing it for anybody who might be interested. If the amount of people who are interested is 0, so be it. I shared it because there exists a non-zero chance a person or multiple people *might* be interested, but that is different than me requiring anybody specifically be interested.

I am not requiring anybody specifically be interested.

It's like me making a topic saying "Hey, burger king is having a great deal on burgers" and then a bunch of people being like "convince me that I should get these burgers" or "yeah, I don't like burger king"

And like, yeah that's fine. Not everything is for everybody. Whatever, it's no big deal.

GOP: "LGBTQ people are evil! They're demons! They want to groom our children and rape them! We need to eliminate the LGBTQ agenda. It has no place in America. It is a thread to freedom and safety!"

Joe Numbers: "I don't know about you guys, but I will give that a charitable interpretation since I believe in diverse viewpoints that go against the common one. Diverse thought and discussion is good for the mind. They clearly are just slightly upset about some of the more radical and stubborn activists. They don't want to harm anyone and you all will probably find they make some good points if you give them a fair chance. Remember that Daryl Davis has converted KKK members. There is common ground, a compromise we can meet at. Stubbornness makes you just as bad as them, worse even if you think your beleifs make you a better person."

You said in the first post that you wanted our thoughts on the video and to discuss it without giving a single detail on what it was about.

I said:
"I'd be curious about the thoughts of anybody else who checks it out."

That doesn't require that anybody checks it out, that just says if somebody did check it out I'd be curious about their thoughts.

So yeah, I never did the "then expects everyone to watch and discuss it." part

This is what you posted in the OP.

Why would anyone want to check it out? That's why you should sell the video. No one sees a 44 minute video and is ever gonna watch with no context.

However, if someone posted a 44 minute video and said what was in it and what to expect and what topics were discussed and what they liked and didn't like about the video, or what others might find intereeting about it, then maybe ill give it a try.

You wouldn't do this with people in real life. You wouldn't just walk up to group of friends/people and talk about this interesting video that you watched last night, and when they asked you what it was about or what was interesting go "oh you should just watch it and see" they'd think you were an asshole. So why do it here?
