Literally today I got out of a thread because people were assuming what I said instead of actually refuting my point.

It was in comedy cemetary and the post showed a meme with the caption, "black women would be terrified if they met her" and it showed a thick white woman. At first, I was confused so I commented as to what I was supposed to be scared about.

Someone explained that it's a stereotype that black women are thick and that we would be scared of a thicker white woman. Anyway, I responded by saying that I'm thin and have met many thinner black women, so the meme was dumb. And that I was sexualized for being a black woman.

And I had so many people assume that I must be saying that only black women are sexualized and that I was engaging in what about ism. And I got annoyed because nowhere did I state that black women are uniquely sexualized and ​the entire discussion was about black women's bodies.

There was also people saying that all women are sexualized. And I agree with that, we are all sexualized. But we were literally just talking about black women's bodies, and I never said that black women are the only sexualized group.

I've been thinking about this for the past hour. I think this might be the reason I will stop doomscrolling

It's extremely frustrating. You can make the most crystal-clear, honest, non-offensive, opinion without being an asshole about it and then there's at least one person acting as if you killed their family with no remorse.

I hate how people can't just discuss "normally", they have to make comments assuming the worst about the person and insult you for no reason. They have to take any form of a diverse opinion and treat it as a war to be won. They have to end out "victorious" and I hate it so much.

I don't even argue much online to begin with, and I see this behavior under other people's posts and comments. And I block and try to not take them so seriously. But it's really bad because I have an anxiety disorder that's awaiting treatment, and I'm going to be addicted to the internet until it gets treated and can talk to my therapist about it.

This happens offline obviously, but most people usually don't hang out with a person like that. There's only 1 person I know in real life that acts like that.​

Edit: I can already smell the, "welcome to the internet", "is this your first day on the internet?" or someone assuming I must not like disagreement or that I have to be an asshole to warrant those "daily".

I hope you guys realize that if you choose to comment that, you're proving my point that some people on the internet can't discuss things normally without insulting/being condenscending.

I suck at identifying bots on Reddit. So many people are saying how rampant bots on are here and idk how to identify one on comments specifically

I just got back from a post that was saying how they hate how normalized body-shaming men was, and when I looked at their profile, I saw a post about how they wish Charli D'amelio was skinny and calling fat women bitches. I'm so tired y'all.

Not Reddit, but on YouTube I saw a post in my recommended that was ranting about how it's a trend to hate men now. Which I think it's funny, because that entire video was just showing tiktok clips and screenshot from Instagram.

I'm not saying that men aren't affected by the patriarchy, but I see wayyy more people complaining about "man hating" feminists than I see actual "man-hating" feminist ​

Currently fighting a mild cold and I took cold medicine that makes you *very* sleepy. I also have DOMS on my shoulders and my right foot is in pain because I stepped on wood. I just want to relax.

I love watching movies and playing games when I'm fighting sleep for some reason. I'm going to sleep anyway, but hg well.

I'm a very hairy woman. I have visible leg hair, arm hair, armpit hair, and I have a tiny mustache growing (it's very faint, though) and I have no plans on shaving unless it makes me uncomfortable.

I had people (usually men) who would point to my hairy legs and make unsolicited comments on it. I even had this one girl make fun of me because of my arm hair.

Obviously, I ignored them and I'm not really looking for advice. But it's irritating. I'm allowed to shave at any time

Oh my lord. I'm convinced some people just put posts through ChatGPT and let the AI write a response for them or read with their eyes closed. I said ABC, where did XYZ come up??? I didn't say anything similar to that.

I can already smell the, "just type your ideas more clearly" and the "it's a public forum, people are going to disagree with you." Comments. I don't really mind that people disagree, but genuinely, please read through posts carefully and think your response while/before typing them.

And some of them get so offended when you tell them that their response had nothing to do with what you wrote.

I blocked like 1 person a few days ago because their response was so off-base to what I said that I thought they were trolling. I unblocked them after realizing they weren't-_-

A year/months ago, I had bathroom problems. The problem was that I was extremely gassy, had to wipe and wash my ass multiple times, I pooped long logs, and a bunch more. I specifically stated that I couldn't get a bidet because no store around me sells it and that I have a lot of fiber in my diet.

Anyway, I was irritated and decided to go on the rant community to rant about it. I made sure to add that I couldn't get a bidet and that my diet was fine (except I was battling severe iron deficiency anemia).

So I had people say that "all" of my problems would be solved if I just got a bidet and changed my "shit" diet. I even got attacked! It is crazy to me how people got so attached over metal that sprays water in your ass.

And they kept giving me unwanted dietary advice. Saying that XYZ is the issue and to limit it.

The good news is that I went to my doctor; it turned out to just be caused by a medication that I was on, and I switched medications. My bathroom problems are thankfully resolved on their own after a few weeks.

Social media, especially due to how toxic it is. I can go on and on about the spread of misinformation/disinformation, cyberbullying, addictive designs, and more. I know technically spreading false information isn't exactly a social media only problem, but I feel that it's easier to do so on social media.

Like, I kind of wish we went back to the 2000s and EARLY 2010s internet, but then we still would have the same issues.

I heard that social media is dying, and I'm not exactly sure if it's true or not. Social media gives a lot more opportunity to socialize with people, but at the same time, there are way more cons than pros.

I saw this one video of a content creator who was reviewing a blow dryer. Her mistake was that she thought the blow dryer didn't have a cooling option, so she ended up reviewing it unfairly. People were upset because there was a cooling option, so she made a response video.

Her response was that she was sorry and that she finally figured out where the cooling button was. She showed us the cooling button, did her hair using it in the way that she likes, and reviewed it fairly. And people were still unhappy. They were just repeating her mistake as if she didn't make a whole response video and showed us what she learned. She even changed her to review!

I get that it's the internet, and not everyone is entitled to accept an apology. That's fair. But I don't understand the purpose of acting as if the person who made the mistake didn't change their behavior.

I mean, when someone makes a mistake, we all want them to acknowledge it and fix it. If they did that, that should be a good thing! There's too many people in this world who believe that they could never make a mistake before.

And I know I'll probably get attacked for this since Reddit is a bit anal about this kind of stuff. But I said what I said.

I love eating plain white rice with nothing added to it. I used to be (and still kind of am) obsessed with eating a big bowl of plain white rice, but I had to stop because I was scared of developing type 2 diabetes or glucose problems.

I love eating salad with nothing added to it (feta cheese is alright, though). I used to eat an entire giant box of blueberries in one sitting.

Currently, I am craving boiled broccoli and cauliflower as well as plain white rice, but I don't have them in my house, unfortunately :(
