I hate that site
Your response was not okay, but I see why you were so upset
Just because they hurt you first by being ableist doesn’t give you justification to verbally abuse someone.
You were toxic and got what you deserved.
:liberalism:
A community of abuse victims that internalized the survival tactics they needed on a schoolyard full of bullies and teachers who enable them.
I don’t fully understand the social aspects here
I’m just gonna wait until one of the neurotypicals on this site explains the social context and why this is bad, so I can quietly take notes
-
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
- OP initiated the direct message chain/contact, not the other person.
- OP escalated from insults to threats of bodily harm/violence.
- 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
OP told someone to kill themselves instead of just reporting the ableist. They then started harassing the ableist troll. That plays right into what that troll wanted and also got their own account banned. “Reacting to ableism” is putting it mildly. Being ND isn’t an excuse for raging out at people.
you’d be surprised how many nazi fucks in my area die due to OD and other depression related illnesses. bullying works!
