Cases like this is why I can never bring myself to let assholes be.
If someone says something rude in a game lobby, or lemmy comment…
I will tell them off. That they call me “soft” for caring is the pinnacle of madness. I can take it, the ones I’m worried about are the ones who shouldn’t have to.
If I can make even a fraction of those who engage in verbal abuse within range of me reconsider, I might save a life.
That some of the people I engage genuinely don’t care, makes them subhuman. Their tragic lack of empathy would be hilarious, if it weren’t lethal.
Genuinely, thank you for being you. It’s not easy standing up to cruelty, and keeping that level of empathy especially for people you may never meet in such a cold online world takes a lot.
Too many people seem to lose the realization that there is indeed a real human being on the other side of the screen. ☹️

It can be so hard to be like this sometimes. So thank you for your service.
