I’d really like to underhand this: Why should you be allowed to be an asshole anywhere you want? And why should everyone else support that idea?


The WSB community calls each other a bunch of names as a form of... I don’t know, acceptance? It’s not meant to hurt. It’s a David versus Goliath mentality, the little guy, the underdog. That’s why they call each other these names.

I think it’s complicated, and that banning them is just another sad example of how sensitive the world has become to these things.
