Anyone, whatever their race, creed or status who exposes themselves on global social media should either accept that they will be subject to abuse or remove themselves from the platform. 

 

The world is full of nutters that is undeniable and unchangeable. 

Nobody in their right mind can condone anonymous abuse but to try and silence every crackpot on the planet is farting against thunder.

Death threats always make me laugh, often taken as the most serious, but do credible assassins normally give advance warnings? I think not.

If you expose your life to the planet, then you should be savvy enough to ignore the nutters. If not then don't do it and deny them the facility. 

 

 

Yup, that’s about all anyone needs to know. Of course it doesn’t apply to the considerable hordes who long for nothing better than an opportunity to be offended and eagerly grasp every chance they can find. In some circles you’re no one unless you can claim to receive death threats. Funny old world.

Don't back down.

 

Double down.

I find it ironic that there is some offence being taken in a thread where some are saying it would be easier if people didn’t take offence so easily. I didn’t judge anyone, I merely pointed out that not all insults are equal and there is good reason for people being offended by certain words or actions, there is a weight of history behind them. Feel free to point out where I did judge someone though.

Being called the n word is a little more than just an offensive term. If a white person uses it against a black person it's symbolic of the hundreds of years of oppression that black people have had to deal with, it's a continuation of that. It's not like calling someone a wee wank or something.

I think you are contradicting yourself.

 

Is this because you are backing down or because you are confused?

I am absolutely confused by whatever it is you are trying to say.

I'm sensing some toxic masculinity in this thread, which is typical of the Patriarchy.

 

Come on guys, it's 2021.  

 

 

Fuck off Gonzo. No offence intended of course. ?
