The anti🚫-derailment🚃 & thread🧵 hijackingšŸ”« thread🧵 ⁉

Not the first time I hear of people not behaving good on discord - can’t judge it, for I’m not there, but I think it’s not a good thing… we had a very civilized forum so far, let’s keep it that way…

Damn, now I’m gonna end up being called racist just because I love BDSM? :wink:

Yeah, lets not do that

something something pot and kettle soemthing something

Exactly, this is why I hang around here. I am interested in RFID, and I find the people here to be helpful, charming, quirky and respectful in their own way.

I think… dunno if it’s a good idea to talk about all that at all, but as usual, I just like to throw in my thoughts here.
Words can do harm. Words can lead to actions that do harm.
But still, I think that you can, to a certain degree, decide yourself how much power you give to someone using ā€œtoxicā€ language or whatever. People called me names all the time since my teenage years, and I decided not to give them the power to ā€œtraumatizeā€ me. So, someone who is offended by a singular, out-of-context word somewhere might, just my humble opinion, be overreacting.
People also threw stones at me during school time, so I might just be overly sensitive against people who claim to be traumatized by words, dunno…

Well, I am in Oregon so let me see if I can fill in the blanks.

If you have a ton of pot and (a) kettle you probably work in the Oregon marijuana industry.

Is that right?

Words can bring physical or mental traumas back to mind. This is not necessarily a good thing.

If you have PTSD that severe then you probably won’t be traveling the internet too much either.

I know, and I totally feel for people who have had such situations! But let’s be honest, the triggering word can be something like ā€œcellarā€ or ā€œcatā€ or whatever, so it’s just not possible to avoid that. And I’m all against triggering people intentionally - it’s just that sometimes I have the feeling it’s just impossible to talk about something without triggering someone unintentionally, and that’s really exhausting.
Like your example - someone being triggered by the word ā€œmasterā€. If that person was imprisoned or enslaved by some insane guy or gal and gets flashbacks because of that, okay, I agree this word is a problem. But people saying ā€œoh no, the term master was (obviously) used in the context of slavery, and therefore it is a baaad word in every possible occasionā€ is just a bit far-fetched for me. It all depends on context, like every kind of communication, and sometimes this is just intentionally ignored. And that, again, triggers me :smile:

I think it all comes down to intent.

If somebody says something intentionally to offend somebody else, then they are an arsehole.

However people shouldn’t be afraid to say ANYTHING, if their intent is not to offend.

I believe humour cannot and should not be censored.
No subject should be ā€œout of boundsā€

Idk why you replied to me on that, but honestly I think your ā€œintentā€ belief is severely flawed and really shitty.

But can you please also explain this?;

…cuz I wasn’t even talking on Discord

It makes me think about turbulance, and wonder how simply the diver just waves the little creature out of the spinning with a simple movement. :wave:

I agree. Now can we get back to the jellyfish?

It wasn’t today, it was from when you posted your snowflake meme in discord
( It was within rules, it was in the venting channel, so fine ).
I wanted to reply, but decided not to, because I just wanted to leave you to your own environment.

Not every post needs a reply, whether you agree with their statement or not.

Agreed
