  • OP was giving away wins in a video game.

  • After you score a goal, you can celebrate in the game. It is a established practice that if you are given a win, you don’t celebrate the goal. Because you didn’t earn it. The person OP was playing against celebrated the goals, and winding them up with the celebrations.

  • OP proceeded to harrass the person they were playing against via direct messages to find out why they were celebrating the goals. The person responds with an ableist insult asking if OP is “on the spectrum”. OP tells them to go kill themselves. OP gets banned.

Considering that

  1. OP initiated the direct message chain/contact, not the other person.
  2. OP escalated from insults to threats of bodily harm/violence.
  3. OP isn’t even neurodiverse themselves, so not part of the identity being insulted

OP was obviously going to get banned.

The troll succeeded in winding OP up. With goal celebrations of all things

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
