Really? Why not just… read usernames? I already assumed that was his mistake but there isn’t like a timer to post. You can sit here and read things before responding. You can even edit posts after you make them.
And I’m aware of why it gets brought up. I saw the mega post about it too.
I stand by what I said. It’s annoying to see it constantly. And I do only see it on lemmy.
by complaining about people using the perjorative you’re essentially like the teacher punishing the victim for being fed up enough to finally hit the bully back who has been hitting the victim while the teacher has their back turned.
Interesting you should mention this. I’m Filipino and there was this racist kid in my class who always said racist shit to me and would fuck with me all the time, would even beat me up sometimes.
This was second grade. We were walking in single file line back to class and he was behind me, stepping on the back of my shoes to fuck with me while I was walking.
I turned around, and punched him right in the stomach. I was sent to the principals office and got in trouble. My parents were called in and all that. I believe he also got in trouble but it didn’t matter. He still said racist things to me after that but he stopped physically fucking with me.
So nah. I don’t think that’s a good metaphor for what’s happening here.
Really? Why not just get off your high horse? You have to be rude because someone didn’t care enough about some inane internet argument to smell your butt? There isn’t an asshole quota you have to hit, you can be a nice person. You can even edit posts to make yourself sound like less of a dick.

Good for you, but the fact still stands that people here complain about it more because they are also here. You surprised people in the Mojave don’t complain more about flooding? Might be because there is none. That may explain why you don’t see it where tankies are “not.” You also surprised people in a job like say nurses complain about the issues affecting nurses more than non nurses? Maybe that is because the issues are affecting the nurses. Maybe that explains why the people bombarded by tankies are comolaining about tankies more than people who aren’t being bombarded with tankies. I realize I sound condescending but tbh it seems so obvious to me that the people affected by it would be complaining and frankly I can’t understand how you don’t understand that.

Ah yes, so I’m a normal person and the tankie is a kid in my lemmy who always says violent immoral shit to me and fucks with me all the time. Would try to beat me up were it an option, but this is the internet.
This was second grade. We were walking in single file line back to class and he was behind me, stepping on the back of my shoes to fuck with me while I was walking.
This was last week. We were talking in a single file comment line about landlords and he was saying how we should violently murder them and denying multiple genocides.

So I turned around and said “Fuck off tankie.” Then cubedsteaks started complaining about me calling him a tankie, thankfully he isn’t actually a “teacher” (mod) or I’d be “expelled” (banned). The tankie may also get in trouble.
So nah. I don’t think that’s a good metaphor for what’s happening here.
So yeah, you’re complaining about me calling genocide denialists who actively want to murder people “a mean word.” It’s a very apt comparison, and you can fuck right off to hexbear/lemmygrad with the tankies.

I’m not on hexbear and I don’t like that userbase.
Right. You do realize that is who “tankies” are, right?
