I used to behave this way, but people took me seriously every time. Like saying Veterans should die off, because they are no longer of use (as criticism to our way of seeing humans as expendable) and I became very hated for this.

AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 4 days agoYeah, and I find it funny precisely because of the stretching to make the labels — it makes it feel like it’s making fun of people who would unironically call things fake and gay in a manner that was nihilistic and homophobic.
It’s similar to how I hate the “git gud” gatekeeping that can be quite prominent amongst fans of games like Dark Souls. However, I take great joy in saying “git gud” in a context where it’s patently absurd, like when my housemate arrives home completely drenched from torrential rain. It turns the joke back on the gatekeepy rhetoric

Genuine question.
Can you see how that is not an obvious absurdist extreme and just sounds like an extreme position that would upset people?

I was not an adult, and rather troubled. I coped in very poor ways.

Ok. Well recognition is a huge hill to overcome. But coping with humor isn’t always bad, communication is a skill that comes with and requires practice.
I hope you find out how to be you while not feeling like you are pushing people away.
