As a species we tend to mask irrational feelings with stories our brain make up, connecting abstract social issues and ideas to make us feel like our irrational discomfort is somehow part of a bigger, more “rational” story, but it all leads back to something that makes us uncomfortable. The cure is sanitizing sunlight.
And because Lemmy is packed with incel-adjacent minded young guys and require some pushback on their bad ideas, because people no longer experience social pressure as long as they can retreat to like-minded online spaces, so I rather people are open about what they think so we can challenge it, support it or offer alternatives depending what the actual feeling is.
I’m guessing you’re at your most effective when people speak honestly and directly and you struggle when they don’t?
Why should others risk your influence by meeting you where you are your strongest and maybe they aren’t? Why would they give a random person direct access to their thoughts and feelings, to rummage through and manipulate, especially when there’s a vibe of judgement, coercion or authoritarianism from the one asking, like you seem to have?
Why is everyone vague-posting in here? Just say directly what bothers you about the comic.
Why do you care?

That’s why I care.
Your turn.
