Jesus Christ... Where's the humanity? They called you a pro-gun weirdo lemming (reddit ≈ redditor; lemmy ≈ lemming) and nowhere did they state or even suggest that you were subhuman. Suggesting someone might deserve an active shooter? Nah man, fuck you all the way to Pluto and back.
Btw, I actually agreed with your original message. It's your response to the comment that I'm criticising.
Ngl the lemming thing went over my head too, so thanks for explaining
Interrupting just to say Pluto is an effing planet.
Carry on.
Username checks out
I think they were referring to the Underworld of the Roman Pantheon
Exotic, but possible.
New to Lemmy. Don't call me a lemming. The connotations are insulting.
Also if you dismiss my perfectly cogent argument as being from a weird pro gun nut....then fuck you go die in a fire, you're not here to discuss you're here to insult. In which case if you wanna get nuts, let's get nuts. I hope the baby Jesus pisses on their corpse
You won't get real far with an attitude like this. Tit for tat and turned up to 1000. You're clearly very defensive over being called anything and still need to figure out who exactly you think you are. If some simple name calling ("lemming") is enough to make you fly inyo attack mode like that and wish an active shooter on someone, you've still got a very long way to go.
Not defensive, dismissive. Simple prisoner's dilemma. I start off nice. If you're not nice back, then die in a fire.
He called me a lemming. Fuck him.
Lemming, because you're on lemmy?People on reddit are called redditors, no? People making content on YouTube are called YouTubers. People who stream are called streamers. I'm sure there are more.
I could see the "weirdo" part being offensive, but I'm confused why you're upset about the lemming part. This is on lemmy. We are all lemmings, technically.
It would be like using discord and then getting upset with someone for calling you a discord user.
a pro gun weirdo lemming.
If that's how he's gonna talk to me I'll talk shit back.
We are all lemmings here. Lemming is colloquial slang for a person who uses Lemmy. That's all. I think you replied to yourself, btw.
He still called me a pro gun weirdo for saying you're not going to be able to disarm America. If that's the level of discourse, then America deserves school shooters.
I think you are being a bit overblown about being called a pro gun weirdo on a random internet forum. FWIW, I thought your previous comment was completely reasonable, and do not see you as a pro gun weirdo at all. I dont even think thats that much of an insult, I know people who would wear that as a badge. I agree that the reality is that America is not going to get rid of them anytime soon. Just don't take random comments on the internet so personally. They don't know anything about you and vice versa. They could be a little kid for all you know.
So? Fuck em.
