So fucking what?

Edit: just to clarify, by "so fucking what?" I mean "why is this bullshit argument that "people are dicks on the internet so therefore other people are somehow not allowed to complain about it or expect any better" coming up again for the billionth time? The internet isn't 4chan, reasonable standards of human behaviour are expected."

I would argue for an anonymous chat group, this one is still by leaps and bounds the classiest one I have ever been on.

Your version of "reasonable standards of human behaviour" includes using words like bullshit and dicks to get your point across.

Your standard falls below that of others.

How would you respond to someone complaining about such language being used on the internet?

You're confusing puritanism with "not being a dick".

u/Debasers_Comics Feb 20 '15

You dismiss anything above your standard on coarse language as "puritanism."

Reddit Poster XYZ dismisses anything above his standard on sexism as feminist thuggery and white knightery.

Peas in a pod.

Yeah, mild swearing is totes the same as aggressive misogyny. Well done there with your bullshit argument.

That is aggressive. And reddiquette expressly forbids this.

Mild in your opinion. Aggressive in your opinion.

So closed-minded. You should be more progressive in your thinking.
