Alright. Feels a little against the spirit of Hubski, but who am I to say that...
Sounds like it. Doesn't make much sense as we never, as far as I can tell, talked to one another, and if they decided to block me based on one of my comments that's rather disappointing, and I hoped I wouldn't see that sort of self-isolation here.
I ended up muting someone I never replied to after I watched them trying to hijack someone else's post with a misogynist agenda. I clicked their user name and saw all sorts of racist and misogynistic stuff I don't want hijacking threads I post, so instead of noping the fuck out of hubski, I muted them.
Yeah. I'm not too happy that someone sees me in this light (I feel like I've been really offensive for this to happen), but oh well.
Once on Hubski someone told me that my dad should've pulled out. It's actually like, the most hliarious insult anyone's ever given me, and I cherish it a little bit. But that aside, an insult's an insult and saying something like "The best part of you slimed down your mother's leg" is a pretty serious one. There is always going to be someone, at least one someone, who does not get along with you. It won't matter how much you try to get along (or not). You could be the most reasonable individual it's possible to be about it, and some people still won't like you. It feels personal, but it isn't. There's going to be a person like that for you everywhere, a person who, for whatever reason, thinks that you're their villain. Even on awesome community-based places like Hubski. The best advice I can give you is know that someone will hate you everywhere, and learn not to care about it. It is hard and not always easy, but worth it.
Don't take it too personally. I've seen it here and there too. At first I was pissed but Hubski is all ends of the spectrum. You can't please everybody.
Yeah I know, it just makes me feel really offensive.
That does make me feel better, because I'm pretty sure I found the argument in question and it IS a subject that a particular subset of people do tend to isolate themselves with (think the sort of argument you would NOT find on most of Tumblr)
