You know, it'd be nice if people would just go after cyberbullying instead of being partisan hacks about all this. But I guess that's too much to ask. People can't just be 'against cyber bullying'. They need to also attack the 'left' in it. Which to me says cyberbullying isn't that important of an issue to them.

That was my whole point

When feminists or "the left" are cyberbullied, Ulti calls them "snowflakes"

Yet suddenly he's championing the cause?

Oh hey I was suspended.

see, i can't just be "against cyber bullying" because most cases that people would want to point to aren't something that should have anything attributed to it. if you're talking specific, targeted harassment - bearing in mind that harassment by definition demonstrates repeated action - we can talk. but most who would want to say that do not prove anything specifically targeted, they do not prove anything as harassment. that guy who mentioned the cyanide pill? if that's all he tweeted at her, he didn't commit harassment. he committed to saying a terrible thing and deserves to be catching shit for it but that's about it. generally speaking, "cyber bullying" is multiple people talking about you with most of the discussion not even at you, meaning you have to go out of your way to see it. these people range from those you know to those you couldn't guess a letter in their name. the person getting all that may see a wave but there is no one individual there responsible for it. another part of harassment that matters: individual people harass. not a group. if that difference isn't understood, the argument will not make any sense as you ultimately will be targeting individuals and acting like it's a group means you're attacking people who didn't do anything.

unless you can narrow down "cyber bullying" to a very strict meaning, i can't "just be" against it. assigning a legal consequence is just way more harmful and frankly illogical in any of its broader definitions.

Hopefully you learn from it and become a better poster.

I was suspended once. I tried to make an alt account using a different email address. I found out it doesn't work that way.

Leftists twitter and social media circles in general are among the most hypocritical places on the net anyway.

"Why is the male suicide rate so high?" asks social media mental health advocate who regularly shares "All Men Are Trash" memes.

How after all this time ExTha doesnt understand the patriarchal influences that lead to more pressure on men to be on top is beyond me.

So patriarchy is either super beneficial for men or it's to blame for the suicide rate. Whichever is more convenient for the argument at the time.

Also lord I was super drunk last night when I made that post about Mr. Cyanide. I do not even remember being on Board 8, damn.

I think Ulti just gave me whiplash with that sudden change in point.

Yeah, that was quite the curveball
