Yes there are always super crazy people on the internet. The internet will always amplify the internet of the extreme people that are also an extremely small fraction of the population. You have to be able to learn that that’s not reflective of reality

Yep because those extreme people are in fact alive irl. Thats not reflective of reality. I’ve seen people online talk about how rape isn’t immoral or how slavery is good but I recognize that that’s not reflective of reality. That’s an extreme example but just because you see one person do it doesn’t mean that’s what people think. There are always going to be extreme people with ridiculous opinions

you very obviously care about this imagined restriction on your ability to say certain words or phrases 🤣 if you didn't you wouldn't have gone out of your way to gripe about it and argue with everybody challenging the idea that this is a real issue

Yeah, I agree. Extreme people aren’t the majority. I never said they were. I was talking about something that actually happened to me and why I’m not changing the way I talk because of it. That’s it lol
