Counterpoint: sometimes it's just a funny picture I like, and sometimes it's some anime titties I like. Assuming it's always going to be a meaningful representation of the user is unrealistic.
Fully fair, likewise it's also fully fair for someone to make judgements on you based on that funny picture if you choose to engage in different kinds of conversations outside of the space where people joke about funny pictures.
Sure, just like it's fully fair for people to clown on someone for judging them based on something as unserious as a social media profile picture.
Then congratulations, now instead of engaging and interacting it's just an immature schoolyard shouting match which could have been avoided by taking more care in how you present yourself.
But I am gathering that there are a lot of people who really enjoy schoolyard shouting matches and invite them because it makes them feel superior to fight others over trivial nonsense.
Or, and hear me out here, instead of escalating to a "immature schoolyard shouting match" for whatever reason, you could look at a person's pfp, have your feelings about it, and then move on to something that actually matters
The irony of you saying this is not lost on me
Do you think this is a shouting match?
No, but you are fighting over trivial nonsense
It absolutely makes my day that you think this is a fight. Have fun out there.
Ah, and there's the air of superiority. Beautiful irony.
I mean it tells me that you're somebody who weighs levity over seriousness. Even if it doesn't specifically tell me who you are, to imply that any choice is devoid of meaning is equally unrealistic.
Good thing my joke comment on a joke thread on a meme post didn't imply anything of the sort then
Bro do you think I typed this through clenched teeth or something? My comment was in exactly the same light tone as yours.
Nope, just clarifying since you seemed to be confused. Anything else I can help with, let me know partner
In my mind, some edgy-looking anime dude is very different from anime booba.
While both remove validity of argumentation, the former probably means you're a minor, and the ladder means you will never have a social life outside the internet.
You don't want a ladder unless you are cleaning the gutters
Not my first language, sorry
It's ok
Why?
Doesn't the ladder increase the odds of a social life outside the internet? Am I the only who watched Clarissa Explains It All? It's called a social ladder for a reason!?
I love that you're getting downvoted for this accurate assessment of how adults engage with each other.
Honestly, I realized a while back that Lemmy is largely kids. Like, to me at least if you're under 25 you're a kid, and I think most users here are even younger. Maybe across the social internet broadly we have massively misjudged how many adults actually shape our global conversations.
It's obviously based purely on my own (admittedly vast) experience on the internet.
I think the average age here is much higher than on reddit, for what it's worth. Playing lots of video games, though, has taught me that at least half of the adults act like children anyway.
