Title: The Saltening
Post by: Dubaku on July 02, 2015, 06:24:07 PM
(If this gets pulled by one of the admins, whatever bruh)
I mean, got dayum! People are so quick to get offended by shit, so quick to be salty, ooo-wee, so quick to take shit the wrong way. When I first started on this forum, a few people liked me, far as I know.

There were those times, like on a past free art thread by a user who ain't on the forums no more, I think back in, like October, I thought her art was mad good, I think her name was Saoirse, I asked if I could get my char sketched, (Cinder was nice enough to do it, can't thank 'em enough!) she gave me some sugarcoated version of "no." I reacted in around the same fashion Kanye West acted at the Grammies when he didn't receive album of the year or somethin. Only I didn't trash the artist on national TV. Do I regret doing what I did? No. It's done, can't undo it, not that I really would :/

Another user on here, they'll not be named, they've held a grudge against me, suddenly started seeing me as some spoiled rich kid who gets handed everything on a silver platter. Who hasn't had things handed to them, though? Exactly. Those people gotta get off their high horse. We've made up, though.

Here's the thing about me, I don't care who you are, race, gender, sexuality, whatever. Be salty to me? That's cool, just don't be surprised when I roast ya back. You can be a whiny bitch and call it discrimination. Feel free to cry too. Just don't expect me to hand you the tissues.

Seems to be a thing with people to take offence at the drop of a hat. (or weapon or crate) I  guess since people don't have anything worthwhile to fight about, they get their little notions of right and wrong and project it onto everything. Call someone clearly female "she"? Suddenly you're "oppressive cis scum."

We, as humans, are aggressive by nature. We want to fight. When the opportunity doesn't present itself, we make a fight over some petty BS

As Kalan once said, "Social Justice Warriors unite! Form of: a whiny bitch."

I think it's a dangerous slope. A lot of people who go "Yo bro, chill, I'm allowed to criticize you", usually don't have the same tone when they themselves are being criticized. I wonder why you make this topic, cause it seems you make this topic because people have gotten angry at you, people are angrily yelling at you and stuff, but then in the topic post you're basically saying "don't worry if I do things you don't like". I dunno, to me rudeness just spawns more rudeness and if you don't like people being rude to you, you generally try not to be rude to them.

That's my 2c on the matter, not saying your being rude or anything Dubaku, just saying in general.

Hey, now, you're talkin' to a certified Rude Bwoy. It's my job. If you get offended, that's your problem, I can only ever be offended by the phrase "No offense, but..." You've as much a right to be salty to me as I am to you, and visa versa.

This topic is traveling into stupid territory, if you ask me. People complaining about being politically correct, from what I'm seeing when literally all politically correct is is being respectful to one another. There is literally no recourse for changing your vocab or harmful habits. If someone is saying 'Hey you're hurting me' there is no reason to say 'well you're being an oversensitive whiny bitch!' unless you want to be a jackass.

You're not edgy or cool for hurting other people. Generally, social justice warriors are there for a reason and are valid. The only ones that go overboard are people that troll to make fun of SJWs. I could go on, but I'm sure with the direction this topic is going, I'm likely going to be the black sheep or met with some 'lol exactly the problem' or 'whatever bruh' bullshit. Just know that this is stupid, and perhaps you should educate yourself more on issues rather than saying someone who makes a gripe is being a whiny bitch.

Grow up. Try to understand other peoples' perspective instead of shrugging everything off and being self absorbed. People who make posts like this are generally steeped in privilege of some kind where they've never had to be on the other side of it, therefore they don't mind sticking their foot in other peoples' faces. At best they don't realize they are doing it, but this is the exact kind of topic that makes me feel otherwise.

Well, actually, when ya make a gripe once in a while, it's understandable. Repeated griping, though? I'll just call you a whiny bitch and be done with it.

I'm a firm believer in Notmyproblemism. If it involves family, or people I'm close to, however: then I show great concern. Who wouldn't?

I understand other people's perspectives, I just don't concern myself with most of 'em.

Your perspective of me is obviously that I'm insensitive and self-absorbed. You may see me as one to ensure that your fries not go unsalted.

From my perspective: you're to ensure that MY fries not go unsalted

See? I understand different perspectives. I just don't care most of the time.

I feel like it'd be hard to work with you under that mindset. Job and sport environments like a team-based thinking, rather than an individual competing-based thinking.

Oh, no worries, Anoni, I've no problem working with others in the workplace, nor do I have a problem working with others on a sports team.

Ah, yes, and your point is?

Eh
I understand your logic, but don't go burning bridges.
There is still a difference between standing up for yourself and being an asshole.
The latter of which will result in the burning of many bridges.

So let me get this straight...

You asked someone to draw something for you, they exersized their right to not do it, and you got mad about it? Maybe they didn't have nice things to say... (You didn't specify what they said so i'm not going to speculate). All the info i have is they said "no" and you flipped out.

Given that information, i would say you had no place getting mad... You made a REQUEST. You aren't entitled to a drawing. And even if they did cuss you out, it's still a non-story that i don't think warrants making a post about it. What would i do if i were you? I'd shrug and say "damn, nvm". And that would be end of story.

Why yes, I did ask someone to draw me. "I think I'll pass for now, too many canines." That was the response, a sugarcoated version of "No" as I saw it. I asked nicely, got denied, you know what happened next. I'll gladly spend $300+ on a new pair of Jordans, but no way in hell am I paying $10.00 for a drawing. Hell, I even offered to pay her. Anyways, I did what I did, and I don't regret it. I have no feelings about it, it's done.

Ah, see here's the thing, if I were me- oh wait, I am me. If ya wanna be one of those people to say "If I were you" like you're painting yourself as some sort of patron saint, more power to ya, mon xD

I think it's becoming apparent that you just have an overreactive personality. Not saying there's anything wrong with that. I just want to give you the hint so you have some awareness and don't go around picking fights with people when it's not warranted. That user is not a business. They have every right to deny you a drawing and they can say whatever they want. Who cares.

Overreactive? I dunno whatchu talkin' bout, I just carry a baseball bat in the backseat of my car should some fool cut me off in traffic. 

So I have some awareness? Boy, I was aware of this since I was an annoying little 12 year old. Looking at these posts, you could think I'm a borderline sociopath. XD

I don't think you understand, that happened in the past. Given I wouldn't apologize for it even if they were still active on the forums.

I don't get this if someones slaty to you they either have bad day most of the time, atleast thats how I see it.
I don't see any need to roast anyone that fast, be the bigger man and walk along instead of letting them screwing up you day.

Apparently so, and for that, this thread is locked.

I've read enough tripe for one day.
