I left this one website years ago because of how toxic the community was, and how some people were treating others like me. I just remembered it bc something triggered me LOL
I remember ranting one time about how unapproving my dad was about me having a boyfriend despite both of us being in our 20s already. I said "I hate our conservative culture" and some ******* decided to comment on my rant saying how that culture wasn't his or anyone else's fault. I was so confused why he was inserting himself into my personal narrative until he said I couldn't use the pronoun "our" because he said it felt like I was blaming other people. I was like, what??? When I said "our" I meant mine and my family's??? The person didn't understand me at ALL and continued to flame me about whatever nonsense to the point that I just deleted my post bc it didn't feel like a safe space to rant anymore lol. I've reported this guy many times bc he always likes starting fights and I don't recall him being given any warning.
Another was the time I got flamed for liking Taylor Swift. It was obvious a lot of people were simply joining the "I hate TS" bandwagon and made sure to shame people who were fans. I believe even one admin of the site joined the bandwagon and shamed me (they didn't specifically mention me, but the wording of their response seemed like it was directed towards my comment, and they replied to the post after me). I don't mind people not liking TS for whatever reason, but I expected the admin to be more mature about it, at least. Holy ****.
Kind of glad I left that website. Some people there are also insensitive as hell (one person who flamed me had in his profile "I like jokes, if you're offended by my jokes then that's your problem"), sexist, homophobic, discriminating, or just downright not respectful of other's safe spaces.
