@Are0h i’m reading the other conversation that kind of evolved from this post and i do understand you POV but i would encourage you to use a term that isn’t associated with sexual violence for these kinds of things.

checking in, creeping on, searching though profiles, etc.

@gingerrroot Yeah, I understand the point and have no problem adapting because I didn't mean anything negative by it. That's totally cool.

But trying to slap in the face with a frying pan isn't a great to get me to see one's particular perspective.

Especially from some random white person that I have not interacted with at all.

@Are0h i definitely
hear you, they were intense, which can happen when talking about more emotional topics; they definitely got off on the wrong foot.

@gingerrroot And I get intense because I often talk about intense topics on here, so that's fine.

And I'll even take that anger from some folks because I understand where they are coming from. Like if you came at me heated one day, I'd listen because we have certain rapport and I know your intentions even in the midst of you being upset. I would understand.

But from random white people I don't know? Nah. I deal with hostile random white folks all the time. I'm not going to take it from randos.

@Are0h That makes sense, I hear you. I also appreciate you taking the time to explain this a little further.
@gingerrroot No worries. Yeah, it's cool when folks can just sit and talk. We all got our emotions and feelings, but lashing out at random people isn't helping anything.
