which, even with strangers, are a normal part of the human experience - don’t happen unless someone goes first.

Yeah, which why you have to read the fucking room. If you get in an elevator and they don’t greet or otherwise make it apparent that they’re open to conversation, you do not have a shot to take and they don’t want one with you. Leave them alone. They’re not in public to be fucking bothered, they’re there to meet friends, or partake in some service or event. If you’re not part of those things then you’re not invited.

No, but you joined the discussion on the same side as someone who did, and never distanced yourself from that statement until now.

Fuck off, I wasn’t taking anyone’s side, I was calling out your bullshit about someone being trapped in an elevator with you entitling you to their attention.

What a toxic fucked up shitty way to be. I’m glad I won’t be seeing your comments anymore. This is precisely the kind of interaction that takes Lemmy from a magical community to having the huge caveat of having to block 500 users to tolerate it. Shame on you.

  Yeah, that guy is arguing that it’s okay to harass women in elevators and putting words in my mouth but I’m the toxic one…

You keep saying “entitled to someone’s attention” but talking to someone doesn’t require any special entitlement or even attention. They can ignore you.

This is the first you’ve said about reading the room, too, so it sounds like you don’t actually have an objection to deploying an “opener” - you’re just assuming it’s being done without exchanging a smile or something first.

And don’t get pissy because you pushed back against someone pushing back against something, didn’t actually agree with the something, didn’t make that clear, and then were assumed to agree with it. If you leap to someone’s defence but don’t agree with half their comment you can just say that and it helps everyone.

I don’t think there’s anything else to gain in this conversation.
