Potential partners don’t have to be rapists or murderers to be worth avoiding. They could have anti-social tendencies, explosive tempers, or violent reactions. Or, just be generally unpleasant. Like you.
I wouldn’t have discovered I’m not much a fan of you, if I hadn’t made an innocuous comment about not holding it against women if they do a single smoke test for bad actors. We might have otherwise been buddy-buddy, with years of casual friendship, before something else triggered this, or a similar, conversation. And then, months or years down the road, I’d have to grapple with whether the friendship is salvageable. Because I don’t think shrugging at women who have to play russian roulette for love is very cool.
But, as I said, I’m lucky. I can say we’re done here, right now.

That is so utterly devoid of empathy that I have nothing left to say to you.

It might seem like a game to you but that’s someone’s life.
Do you have an alternative for how they should determine if a potential partner is a danger? Besides hiring a private detective or rolling the dice by finding out after they’re invested?

Oh! This is the guy who talked about what a shithead Fetterman was even before the stroke! I could never find it again but I remember his face.

I don’t think “begrudging women a single test to see if someone is the type to explode over a single inconvenience” is the right hill to stick your flag on.

I’ve been out of tech work for near as long as I have career experience.
Each day feels another nail in the coffin of those 6 years of education.

“When” is weird to me because it implies the statement was true once and the other person was aware of it.
“When did someone tell you that? I’d been working on my owl hoots lately and really improved them.”

Whoa, what the hell. How are you throwing Totalbiscuit and the entirety of GamerGate’s scandals and social furor into the same, offhand pile?
John was strongly opinionated and enjoyed being a bit of a smug ass as his online persona, but he was mainly about making games more accessible by advocating for more and more inclusive settings for all the games he played.

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt on this one but the optics of this comment are pretty bad. It can read like an apology for shooting children, which isn’t a great hill to die on.
