Self-Punishment

[docbrite]

Whyyyyyyyyyyy did I start my day by reading the comments on a trans-related article? Even on a site like Queerty, comment sections on such stories are always full of ignorance and hate. Obviously I am a masochist. But at least I'm not an ignorant, malicious piece of shit like Rosanne Barr.

Sigh

Humanity - you wouldn't want to share a planet with them!

I've made it a personal rule to stop reading the comments on any article.

I would say 'it takes a special kind of person to comment on an article on dogs and BSL to rant about how abortion is infanticide', but apparently these people are fucking everywhere, so not really all that special or unique, are they?

Ugh, unfortunately they do seem to be. Sometimes I'll delve into a comments section if I'm feeling like engaging the ignorant assholes of the world, but usually I keep well away from it. >

Ugghhh... those are worse than most, even. (I share your masochism... I often can't keep from looking.)

This is why there's a sticker at the top of my monitor which reads: "COMMENTS MAKE YOU STABBY. DON'T READ."

YMMV, but given how those few tweets pretty much deny the womanhood of trans women, yeah, I'm willing to make that determination. I'd feel similarly comfortable judging a small selection of tweets that used racist or homophobic language.
