this site is actually so mean literally all the time so im posting this here to let you know you’re not ‘too sensitive’ or something for not wanting to deal with attacks on your gender/body/intelligence for daring to exist and have fun online. the freaks that act like this are NOT the norm (they are just the loud and obnoxious minority) and it’s OK to take your time in recognizing this. <3

I'm not going to start being an asshole out of nowhere but I will go after an asshole and tear them apart. I will never be mean or rude to someone who seems nice. And of course I won't make fun of someone's looks or weight or gender or race. But I do make a lot of jokes on other topics and people probably perceive me as rude sometimes when I don't intend it. I don't think it's wrong to be a looser version of yourself here than in real life. Within reason.
