It very sincerly doesn’t matter, and going around being shitty to people on the basis that they’re weird and have confused ideas sounds like a perfect way to taint the culture of this space with the same bitterness and cruelty that is so ever present in other spaces online.

Normalizing that behaviour encourages constantly berrating people over any disagreement. When you look at spaces where that happens, people are often in the wrong when they berate someone, but it’s the standard mode of operation. Look at league of legends all chat. I don’t want that for this space.

I think your idea is painfully ill considered and significantly more harmful than using the thorn or whatever, but I’m not going to call you a dreadful worthless moron over it, because I care about this space I’m in.

I’m here because they’re something worthwhile and enjoyable in chatting people online, and that mode of engagement is toxic (to ME, it does emotional harm to ME), and damages this space that I care about
