    I also think people here just don't like each other. Not active hatred but more of a this-person-is-cool-in-small-doses-but-drives-me-fucking-mad-if-I'm-stuck-with-them-for-over-5-hour way. And I say this as someone who has been caught up in their fair share of struggle sessions. Do people really care about outdoor cats or stacking rocks or bidets or is this just cover for them to shit on other people who they don't like? And this is not even considering certain segments of this website who do actively hate each other (vegans vs carnists).

    Edit: Looks at a bunch of soon-to-be-deleted comments. Yep, this is 100% proving my point.

        But anyways, the struggle sessions here remind me of people in a long-term relationship who argue over the most trivial shit. Most people would recognize that the trivial shit isn't actually important but merely a symptom of a dysfunctional relationship. I have been caught up in between an argument on how to trim some orange tree that devolved into some 4+ hour argument. Obviously, no one involved actually cared about some shitty orange tree. The argument was just the breaking point of a deteriorating relationship, the only different between here and them being that they are emotionally invested in their relationship and want to repair it.

        I don't see why this same basic principle can't be applied here. It's either that or just saying people here are terminally online weirdos. I used to think so, but I've decided to move away from this since routine grass touchers exhibit the same pattern of behavior even if it's in a different social context. Plus, calling people you don't like terminally online weirdos is just self-aggrandizement on top of being ableist.

          That happens every month or so. It's always some "u r obsessed" posting not-obsessed person who shows their own ass by demonstrating their stalking chops by bringing up some obscure bit of posting trivia like... me giving dating advice to a stranger a month before, which according to the not-obsessed not-enraged person who is just concerned about my "obsessive rage" means that I can't possibly be married because that doesn't fit just how strongly they hate me and want to imagine that I'm simultaneously too strong and too weak as a target of their hate. frothingfash

          Agreed.

          I believe, with a large amount of circumstantial evidence, that my roughly-one-a-month explosions of not-enraged not-obsessed brave alt posters that come at me come from the fact that like over a year ago I made them upset because I criticized Game of Thrones or some other awooga libertarian-alert hypersus edgelord slop they were consuming and they never got over that.

          Agreed. That's why I don't say that, even for the brave alt posters I just mentioned. "Touch grass" is just a fancy "shut up, I hate you" here on Hexbear and I'm tired of it. debord-tired

      There's only like one person I feel this way about.
