I had some issue with this point. Getting a downvote might sting a little bit, but to equate it to getting bullied is taking it too far. I got bullied plenty growing up (as I'm sure many other people here have) and to equate a meaningless downvote - someone disagreeing with you - with something as traumatizing as being bullied is insulting.
Someone disagreeing with your opinion is nowhere near the same as being bullied, or being oppressed. I've experienced cruelty directed at me. It's nothing like a semi anonymous person on the internet pressing a button.
- xtrumanx 11y agoI don't think he was equating the two. Just comparing them. Many of us have experienced cruelty. That doesn't mean anything less severe than what we've experienced is not cruel (although I wouldn't describe getting downvoted without reason to be cruel I understand where OP is coming from).
- moron4hire 11y agoIf he wasn't equating the two, he wouldn't have put them in the same post lie that. No, technically he didn't say it out loud, but that was the intention of the proximity.
