Is covid-liberalism a bannable offense in c/covid?

I'm getting really fucking weary of seeing sentiments like, "being upset about someone scheduling a non-emergency dental appointment in the middle of the second largest covid wave is deranged" or "you're a selfish asshole for expecting your loved ones to do the bare fucking minimum to protect you" in discussions on masking or vaccine uptake

I know I'm not the only one disappointed in the growing anomie. Maybe we should operate more like c/vegan where everything from omnivore apologia to overt antiveganism (analogous to the above anti-precaution/anti-max/anti-vax-apologia) is forbidden, and posting/commenting as much gets you a ban?

    I am fairly sure that its more along the lines of "fucking raging" at the 7th red light in a row on your 40 minute commute when you just want to be home after a double shift

    Not like baying for blood, but like, GAAHH. I imagine the person who wrote that post spent exactly as long thinking of what words to use there as they took to type them out, it wasn't an effort post

    I could also be wrong, but this is hexbear and we're supposed to assume good faith, especially in the context of an emotional vent post

      Literally thank you. I thought of putting an edit under the post, but we're all grown ups. I just needed a space to unload my feelings when unloading on my partner wasn't helpful.

      Yeah, I guess in that case I agree that the person calling him an asshole went to far in that sense, automatically assuming the worst case scenario and going on the attack.

        Yeah, there's several of those responses now in that thread and they piss me way off.

        Im definitely with you that the healthier perspective is not to blame the person but the system that has inflicted this, while being as supportive as possible with prophylactics/ strategies etc, but thats the rational response, I'd be pissed at my partner too internally even while fully rationally aware that its silly to feel that way, but I wouldn't not feel that way inside a little lol
