I’m more care not only “the feelings” directly but about how those feelings will affect my ability to get my (or your) point across, convince people to believe in the things i think are facts.
This is where we differ. Each person engaged in a conversation has a personal obligation to ensure that they keep their emotions in check and engage with good-faith. If someone fails to do that it isnt the speakers responsibility to manage the readers emotions, it is their. If those emotions make them unable to engage faithfully then thats on them. While we should have compassion and let them know we care and show our good intent accurately it is not a speakers responsibility to bear the burden of an entire communities potential emotional responses and to refine their speech to “walk on eggshells” as the saying goes.
For example, if you show this thread to normie lgbtq people or allies, 90% of them will say we both are disconnected from reality edgelord lunatics, they won’t even think about arguments in a good faith which make them useless.
While is a perfect example of how they are acting improperly and in bad faith without bothering to understand the reality. That is on them, and while I hope they will reflect and act in a more mature way, if they dont i am more than happy to have them block me and disapear as I have little interest in engaging with anyone who lacks emotional maturity.
