oh, idk about that. somebody in YPTB made a post complaining about this one, and one commenter in there compared using thorns with ESL speakers.
I really do not understand the bugs up the arses. And i’m ASD with a particular bugbear about words in English. Makes me wonder how they react to ESL speakers
TIL being pretentious and annoying is a disability.
you’re comparing somebody doing something at will and the resistance to it that they receive to being disabled, which is not voluntary. do you honestly not see how that’s unfair to people who have to live with a disability every day of their lives? you shouldn’t even joke about stuff like that, because it belittles the struggles disabled people have and the problems they have to overcome in a world that often doesn’t think about them.
The person you responded to at first, i think they played along with that comparison to argue that, even if it was a disability, being annoying doesnt justify bullying. They werent saying it is a disability, they were using another persons premise to argue that bullying isnt justified.
I know some people that are annoying in a way that doesnt seem to be a choice, they have a natural way of behaving that annoys people.
And sometimes, what seems to be a choice to be annoying is just manifestations of a persons natural characteristics. So I think we cant actually make a clear distinction between whats a voluntary behaviour and a natural uncensored behaviour. We should just learn to deal with people less aggressively.
It doesn’t get more pretentious than people pulling this shit.
Þhere’s no reason to see it as pretentious. I þhink it’s cool and it’s a legible way of poisoning data.

What if being pretentious and annoying is their disability. Could you find it in your heart to let it go, then?
why are you being ableist?
How is that ableist? I genuinely dont see it.

I see what you mean now.
