being knightcore doesn't mean you have to be pro-monarchy. you can just swear your undying fealty to your best friend or your crush or something

My dear queer and trans heathens and norse pagans,

Remember today and always that your gods love you.

Remember today and always that Odin and Loki know and share your truth.

Remember today and always that Thor and Freyja battle by your side.

Remember today and always that Tyr fights for your justice and rights.

Remember today and always that Lofn celebrates your joy.

Remember today and always that your gods love you, that you have nothing to apologize for, that you are not alone, and that we will prevail against evil and cowardice.

We've all gotten just a bit too comfortable being jerks to strangers on the internet I think

So I've hidden this reply, both because it's obnoxious and because I don't want the person who wrote it being harassed for it, but I need you to understand: I don't know you. We are not friends. This is not fun or cute, we are not sharing a charming joke together. You are just being an asshole.

literally that is what the post is about, I am saying people should be less eager to jump on any change to be snarky and rude to total strangers on the internet

The fact that people think it's a "straight line", that is, you setting up a desired response, rather than a genuine statement of frustration, really really underlines the point you're making here.

This reply sums up my feelings about this post pretty well. I'm genuinely stunned that the statement "We are not friends. This is not fun or cute, we are not sharing a charming joke together. You are just being an asshole" is radical somehow

i think people are just afraid of accepting the fact that they, too, are sometimes assholes.

As Brennan Lee Mulligan once put it: "I don't have buy-in to whatever this 'Oscar Wilde, hurt people's feelings and get away with it' thing is... I am unfailingly nice. Like, nice and kind to the point where it might make you uncomfortable how sincere I am being. And if you try to bond with me by being mean to me, and I'm unfamiliar with you, there's going to be real aggression. And it won't be witty. It's not going to be witty aggression, it's goinna be like real, real aggression."

Strangers are still total strangers on the internet, y'all. Be kind or at the very least be careful, cuz not every joke is for all audiences.

Brennan Lee Mulligan keeps giving me more and more reasons to like and respect him (even if I am still a little sad that Strong Female Protagonist is going to languish in unfinished limbo forever)
