i politely disagree :3
still, the wank post isn't here to cater to your (or my) opinions on things or deciding whether they deserve to be wanked about. a lot of stupid stuff gets wanked on, come on.if you don't agree, comment about it
i do comment on it but ngl you seem to think that me saying people in wank being intolerant to different opinions is aggravating to me means that i am actually the one being intolerant to what other people want to wank about so idk

nah, i didn't mean you were being intolerant. i was trying (and obvs failing) to say that what you see as oversensitive is not necessarily what others see. they might just see normal levels of ~caring in terms of stanning so i guess i think it's silly to hold your opinion as fact? idk i did edit my comment a bit to try to explain better, but still failed obvs. it's coming off a lot more judgey than i'm intending, that's for sure (and quite frankly, i'm including myself in all this cause i do it too). i know i do this, often, and that's partially what wank is based on anyway. i just get a little sideyey whenever people imply there's a hivemind or something when arguments erupt all over wank all the time.
i guess what i mean is that: wank in general is a means to discuss things in fandom people have an issue with and it's up to everyone else in wank to decide if that topic is worth further discussion. like i said, i don't disagree that peeps get jumped on for differing opinions, but the only thing we can do is comment on it and then hope it gets better.
just idk, do it in situations that are a little more ~aggressive than a "you sound old" comment.

i wanted to say that i think the bottom of our differences on this subject is that you think the level of intolerance of opinions i talk about is just a matter of personal subjective opinion and i don't
i think it's more objective than that
but i'm horrible at explaining why i think it's not just a matter of opinion so i passed on it :3
anyway i was serious about trying not to approach my future discussions about this with the mindset that intolerance is in fact present and everybody is surely aware of it too :3

but ultimately my point wasn't about approaching all situations differently, but to better choose the situation of which to approach. if this particular situation had originated from a thread of long discussions on how terrible someone's opinions were and how dare they think such, i would have totally agreed with you fully from the start. this case was just lackluster in making me think someone's opinion was being jumped on (i legit think it takes more than 2 comments to signify a jumping on lol) and the person seemed to handle their come back well. see, subjectivity between us :3
