It really doesn’t feel like you’re talking to me here. This entire comment is just making me out to be some archetypal cartoon character. Like you think I’m some sort of right-wing manosphere MAN UP fitness influencer or some shit. Whatever point you have is just not going to land when you’re addressing this hologram of me that you’ve constructed instead of actually addressing me. Like I said, too much focus on signals, counter-signals, etc.
It’s so obnoxious. It’s like this game of recognize the signals and connect the dots until you figure out which box to put me in. But you are totally wrong. You know nothing about me. I don’t give a fuck about “being a man” or a tough guy. I don’t mention it for a lot of reasons, primarily because of rising fascism, but I’m literally nonbinary bro. Why the fuck would I care?? I also don’t view people as NPCs, though it seems that you do, based on your eagerness to cast me into a cartoon character.
You are projecting. It is super fucking obvious. You haven’t accurately described me at all, but it sounds like you’ve accurately described the person you are ashamed that you once were. Get a grip. Maybe you feel like you need to atone for your past by doing whatever this is. I don’t know. But let me be clear. Your assumptions about me are based on nothing and they’re incorrect. I’m not going to address them one by one because this is getting exhausting, but believe me that you don’t know who I am.
Your values and beliefs result in you prioritizing your own petty interests over caring about your fellow humans, and those values and beliefs make you an asshole.
Buying into the patriarchy was my charitable assumption for why you hold those beliefs, since they’re the default settings for the vast majority of men. You’d just be a person that needed to reexamine the values that society pushed onto you vs what you believe for yourself. Everyone should constantly be doing that, and there’s no shame in it.
If you’ve self-examined, considered the impact that these values have, then decided that you LIKE them and that they make you who you want to be, that makes you a fucking sociopath.
You think saying pussy makes me sociopathic? You are the type of person that I mentioned I’m happy to repel. The type of person who makes such a dire judgement based on such a small infraction. If my vocabulary makes you want to stay away from me then it’s working.
Something is severely distorting your perception of how serious this is. The moral grandstanding is fucking unreal. Why don’t you tell me what’s actually gonna happen if I keep saying it? What are the maximum fucking stakes? Someone gets slightly uncomfortable? You just can’t stand that I won’t kneel to your purity bullshit and it’s making you irrational. The more I resist the more you escalate. Slinging shit around like “sociopath” makes this a tantrum.
I’m saying you are making choices based on values you hold, and that I’m judging you based on those values.
You are choosing to continue to say pussy, despite knowing that some folks find it hurtful.
That shows that you value your word choice over how those words might unintentionally hurt other people. You’re refusing to put away your shopping cart.
Because you hold that value, I think you’re an asshole.

Jesus Christ if you’re non-binary that’s somehow worse.
Our actions come from the values and beliefs that we hold. People should be judged by those values and beliefs.
Your actions show that you are not willing to just pick a different word to avoid potentially hurting people. You’re an asshole if you don’t for the same reason you’re an asshole if you don’t put away your shopping cart.
