Yeah I'm "butthurt" that the worlds most powerful "democracy" just elected a fascist. What are you 12?

edit: I disagree with the mod action above. People should be able to see how infantile the conversation has become and maybe reflect on how we got here.

Well, to be fair we are both butthurt about the election in that case.

And sure, maybe my sense of humor is juvenile, but you really could use a chill pill. Just because they don't agree with you doesn't mean anyone accused you of being a rapist.

Edit: and fwiw, while I don't really think I was being uncivil, I don't blame the mod. It was a bit silly of a joke, and clearly your reaction shows it didn't come across as light-hearted as I intended it.

"Perhaps not, but as a woman your response to this post nevertheless makes me view you as unsafe."

wow, that didn't take long did it?

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

[–] JamesStallion@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

just pointing out that in no time at all I was implied to be a danger to women based on my comment.

[–] SquirtleHermit@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

By saying no one thinks you are a rapist?

I am quoting a reply to me from above, let alone the obvious implication of the phrase "thanks for proving my point" from OP.

Oh, okay. I kind of think you might be overreacting again, but I'm sorry you feel victimized.
