Wow - I am amazed at the number of people commenting who might not realize I am a multiple time even recent victim of violent sexual assault - and no, it’s not just ‘mildly annoying’, it can send me into tears.
I’ve never seen such a lack of understanding or felt so personally attacked on HN before, as if you guys think I’m a pussy or something because you couldn’t imagine a case in which maybe, yes; it actually negatively affects my mental health.
To be honest - your stupid comments have affected my mental health, too; and I’m sorry for sharing. Ruined my morning for sure.
This is the most insensitive bullshit I have ever seen on HN and after ten years I might actually leave if this kind of insensitive hurtful bullshit continues. It’s not the first time I’ve been singled out for my orientation or sexuality here.
I have felt like HN was an LGTQBA+ friendly space for the decade I’ve been here but in the last year or two some of you have really chosen to show your true colours.
Fuck y’all’s insensitivity. I need a drink.
- frongpik 6y ago"Fuck y’all’s insensitivity" - amazing summary, really. I've seen this attitude a lot, but these 4 words is the best summary I've seen. You basically said that unless we tip toe around your sensitivity and morning mood, we all can go to hell. That's like going to a nightclub and demanding to put the volume down and to change music to something less tasteless, maybe Mozart or Bach, because otherwise you'd feel unwelcome in the club.
