      it is, but i've known plenty of smokers who feel this way, including about children

      hell i remember being that kid and having adults intentionally blow smoke into my face for "complaining"

          i'm sorry you had that happen to you. trans-heart it's genuinely incredible how common of an occurrence it was. i actually had someone flick a lit cherry into my eye over it at one point, though that didn't meet with the same raucous approval from onlookers, at least

          i wanna say i was 7, maybe a little younger. some people really don't like even the vague notion of someone "telling them what to do" 🙄

      I don’t get the joke. Is there some kind of online discourse that I missed out on in order to understand this? Like is this a reference to something?

      I think saying absurdly out of pocket things can be funny, but there’s gotta be some context. You can say some ghoulish neoliberal shit on here and 99% of the time people will understand it’s a joke because of the context of the website

        consider the context of twitter then. the joke is she's playing someone who is incredibly paranoid and self-absorbed and reflexively defensive towards the slightest perceived gesture of disapproval. this is the default psychic mode of so much of that site and therefore internet in general.

        and also consider that if this were a real person, it would still be really fucking funny, because holy shit what a freak.
