Every time I open a comment section on an Arsenal video or post, I’m guaranteed to find someone dissing Ødegaard and saying Rice should be captain instead and like. Maybe he’s not the best footballer in the world but he’s a really good one, *and* he’s a good captain! Everyone loves him on the team and the staff, he cares, he puts in the fucking work. It’s Rice’s first season with us, and while, yes, he’s been phenomenal for us, it’s still absolutely not enough to rob Martin of the captaincy. Honestly, I think you just don’t like him, and you and all the other haters can fuck off

I'm starting to get so sick and tired of the weird "weak/sensitive/snowflake" mindset privileged/abled people tend to have.
Any time someone points out a flaw in the system, or brings attention to something that needs to be changed, or talk about what happened to them, these idiots come riding in on horses to blurt out "SeNSiTiVe", "WhOmp WhOmP", "L + RaTio", "SUcK iT uP", "tHiS GEnErAtiOn Is sO seNsiTive", i could go on for a while honestly.
It seems to always manifest in this kind of Perfection/Superiority complex?? For some reason?? Like, they view any display of humanity as "weakness", if that makes sense, and anyone who shows anything other than "perfection" is labeled as weak or sensitive.
They seem to think that bad things never happen to actually good people, and if something bad happens to you, you must be at fault 100%. (So basically, in their mind, victims don't exist; if you do everything right, nothing bad will ever happen to you.)
They also view any mention of something negative as "complaining/whining", regardless on whether it really is or not. (They could literally just be talking about their experience calmly, and someone just has to say "qUiT wHnIniNg". At this point, it's guaranteed you'll see a comment like that most if not all of the time.) Pretty sure this is a silencing tactic.
I 100% understand real criticism; but that isn't real. It isn't constructive, and it isn't helpful, and it isn't meant with any good intentions.
At first, it was just annoying. Now it's kinda pissing me off.

On social media nowadays you always have that looming fear of being misinterpreted and mass-hated because people didn’t understand what you meant or think you’re mean when you are never trying to be. And because I often have big feelings on main, it’s an anxiety I often have.
I’m always wanting to sweeten my words as much as I can without lying or diminishing the strength of my statement and I’m always clarifying lacks of true hostility when a post is backed by strong feelings. Whenever I have new followers, especially if I saw them around previously, I get so anxious about impressing them and hoping they don’t misunderstand how I roll. Because I like people and I want people to know that I like them too and I don’t want to hurt or upset them.
To all the new followers or the followers I haven’t really spoken to, I still notice you’re there and I think you’re cool and I never want to give you the wrong impression or upset you =w=‘

Conservatives: Those Transgenders are scary and powerful and if you misgender one they go woke and Cancel you!!1!
Me, An Transgender: gets sir'd over the phone by someone I had seen in person two hours ago, doesn't correct, brain decides it is going to take that extremely personally today and I stew over it for an hour as I get groceries and then end up having a little bit of a cry

i swear 90% of slur discourse is literally just “my 1000 word essay on why i can call you a slur and why i shouldn’t get in trouble for it” because goddamn, are you folks getting way too comfortable calling strangers on the internet and marginalized groups slurs just to like, make a point/just for funsies.
