My most controversial post was one where I said, “just because you’re angry doesn’t mean it’s okay to be cruel.”

And sooo many super hardcore “internet activist” types were so mad about it. They argued that they are allowed to be cruel to people because of the hurt they’ve experienced, because of their anger at the world. (And accused me of being neurotypical, and having a perfect life, wtf?)

And I’m like… okay. But. Punishing people for your hurt and anger is something someone does when they start to become abusive. Or when they decide to punish the place that fired or expelled them by buying a gun.

Are you really trying to say it’s okay to punish people with cruelty when you’re angry? Sorry, but I still disagree.
