I’ve heard it explained that “hey” used to be more of an urgent way to get someone’s attention, rather than a casual “hello” like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

    What’s nonsense is the criteria you think you can hold people to.

    Disliking trans people doesn’t equate to being bigoted or a “terrible person”, and not having sympathy or empathy for people I am not particularly happy with, doesn’t make me callous, it makes me human.

    You can spin it however you like, but that’s the reality.

      Look up the definition of callous. You already self identified as a bigot. There is no spin here. You are just a terrible person that thinks you’re entitled to be tolerated while you don’t tolerate others.

        How’s the view from atop that high horse your riding? Save your preaching for someone who will fall for it. I said I dislike them, I said nothing about tolerating them. I will tolerate anyone, I just don’t have to accept them. Stop putting words in my mouth to suit your clearly skewed narrative, just like you did in the last comment. Comparing me to a shooter, yikes.

          You identified yourself as a bigot. You are intentionally and dishonestly ignoring the point of the shooter comparison. You introduce the negative behavior into society and are upset that as a direct response to that negative behavior people respond back with it directed at you. Don’t be a callous bigot and people will not be intolerant to you callous bigotry. Not being a bigot is not some high horse stance, its being a decent human.

                  And according to civilized society. Feel free to make a coherent argument as to why you get to be a callous bigot and everyone has to not respond in kind to you for you being a bigot.

                    I don’t recall ever saying people couldn’t get angry about it, it doesn’t bother me. What bothered me, was equating disliking trans to being a bigot or not caring about them, as being callous. Thats bullshit tactic only works on kids. That’s the part that seems to have confused you.

                    It’s also ironic, given that the original sub post would rather see old people just die if they can’t cope with current events. That sounds pretty intolerant to me, yet, I don’t see you blowing up his comment?

                    Did you just think I would be an easy target? Sorry to disappoint you. 😅
