i feel like a lot of online discourse boils down to people asking, over and over again, with increasing panic, "but who is it okay for me to hurt? who is it okay for me to hurt now?!" because "noone" is simply not an acceptable answer

#discourse #is I guess the only thing I can tag this #like sure if you're making jokes and you're trying to make sure you're punching down like I get that?#but also I feel like 24/7 punching is not a great thing regardless of direction #sometimes you can just. not punch.#it really should be whom can I hurt but it doesn't have the same pizzazz idk #its like I was talking in a discord server about being self conscious about my accent #and someone joked “no it's only okay to bully the *posh* English accents”#and like on the one hand yes I agree #but on the other hand I'm actually now even more unwilling to speak in front of you #so idk how much of a win that is #and obviously that's the most innocuous and minor incident but I do feel like I am literally never going to be in a call in that server #I just feel like it isn't necessary to build a big chart of “the people it is morally good to be unkind to”
