older reddit post [CW: some ableism in the comments] but its hilarious how thoroughly OP was bullied. They also claimed to be a teacher who "works with mental health professionals" so they couldn't possibly be out-of-touch :hasan-ok-dude:

      :this: Obviously most people are not acting this freakish but there's enough deeply alienated, cynical. socially maladjusted people around that the story sounds entirely plausible.

          That was such bullshit. Chinchzilla is a genuinely kind person and a great poster and did not deserve any of that shit.

          I ran down that thread pretty far and all I saw was "Do it! They'd love it!"

          Of course the journalist has to write a story about a Twitter thread and put the worst possible face on Americans showing kindness to one another.

          More recently there was a bunch of puritanical zoomers claiming that wanting to fuck your partner was transphobic.

          All I saw was the standard "nobody owes you sex, fuck off incel" discourse, which by now is standard and expected any time a man isn't getting sex from his wife.

            Oh no, no, there were thousands of pages of posts calling Chinchzilla a monster for presuming to make Chili for the guys in the next apartment over. I was there. I saw the whole goddamn sordid mess go down. It lasted like a week. Chinch briefly went private. That whole swath of the left twitterati was dragged in to it. it was the dumbest moment in an extremely dumb millennium. I wouldn't have believed the level of self-righteous shitassery people were indulging in to say that making chili for your neighbors was somehow violence if I hadn't seen the posts with my own cursed eyes.

              Thinking you're owed sex is standard incel psychology, so it's no wonder why people had a huge negative reaction and the man got told to fuck off.
