Comment on Can we stop asking people who are on the brink of death and suffering greatly to sacrifice themselves for a bunch of able bodied people who refuse to stand up and sacrifice themselves for us?

  Without naming names, folks right here on lemmy… I caught OP’s first post that prompted this

    Yeah I’d really rather not call people out directly. I don’t think they’re trying to be rude. Just thoughtless. But yes, mostly here on Lemmy.

      There are a lot of people, especially on lemmy, who see everything through the lens of their personal ideology and utterly lack the ability to empathize or understand different views or life situations. You only matter to them insofar as to how it can advance or support their ideology. It’s pathological, and their views should be ignored.

        What is it that makes Lemmy users uniquely selfish or unempathetic?

    But no one’s opinion or thoughts here are with anything,…

  I fully believe someone said this to OP. But it says something about the people OP hangs around with.

  Nearly every reddit and Twitter comment feed is full of lazy, limp-wrist morons, egging mentally ill people to commit violence for them.

  Keep a lookout whenever you are reading comments anywhere for “someone should (…)” or something like that.

    There it is again!

    Someone insisted to me that “limp wrist” is a homophobic slur. It reads very much like you’re using it to refer to inactive keyboard warriors, but I am interested in your thoughts.

      I believe it started like that because it “looks weak” and/or “effete”, e.g. wrist Who knows if another meaning has taken over it since like the early 2000s.

      I say it to refer to weak impotent losers who complain on the internet all day, and seeing that people use it as a homophobic slur concerns me and I’ll stop saying it. Apologies.

      It definitely had more of a homophobic connotation in the 90’s. I’m pretty sure at least one Kids in the Hall sketch with Scott Thompson references the idea, just because I recall him making a hand gesture with him holding his arms up but hands hanging limp from the wrist.
