[Hotshot]

People are going to say 'kill yourself' or make jokes about offing themselves. Even I do it. It's a facetious statement, it's something they don't truly mean. And you have to understand that it's a vernacular, an insult. Just like how everyone says "go fuck yourself" doesn't imply you go to the nearest store and buy a suction dildo to use in the shower. You have to be able to build up some mental resilience and live. If you are so triggered and upset by someone making that comment on the internet, you don't need to be an environment that is mostly made up of people speaking freely. Even I don't particularly like that statement, but I understand that it's very common to say nowadays and that it's a fact of life. 

 I have issues with these statements, Just because people can speak freely doesnt mean they would have the right to tell someone to keep yourself safe, that's insane, even if it is just a joke, you shouldnt joke about it to someone that you dont know that well and dont know if they will take it personally or not. Especially telling that to a child....... that is just............I have no words. I dont support the targeting maddox did but I do understand his reaction.

I have been told that I should kill myself, that I'm a murderer, a traitor, a racist, a piece of shit, a Nazi, a fascist, everything under the sun, right in my face. Three inches away I had someone screaming in my face that I should die, they were going to rape my family, and kill me and hang me from a noose. Of course you're going to have issues with these statements. They're unpleasant. But they don't mean it. Not really. I didn't really get that until later. People just say things, without thinking in environments like online or in a crowd. 

You can't predict someone else's reaction to a rather innocuous internet joke. I can't. I can apologize, sure. But to act like you have the right to not be offended everywhere you go is foolish. You have to be mentally resilient to some things, disagree, or be vocal and tell them why you don't like it. 

I can understand being upset, but lashing out irrationally isn't the response you should have when something bothers  you. It's nonsensical to believe that you can do that in every aspect of your life. Or that's a good reaction. You can't tell someone that. You can tell someone they can be upset, that they can be offended, but you can't sit there and tell them that it's okay to go over the edge and overreact. ESPECIALLY online. If you go into any other place, server, public park, whatever, even on this server, you run the risk of being offended. You don't want to be offended or be upset at what people say? Don't listen to strangers online out of fear. But if you interact with people, you run the risk of being offended by what they think or say. That's the price of being social and interacting with people. Plain and simple.
