It’s very unfortunate that there’s a section of the internet that believe this behavior is normal and justified. No matter what you do you’re beholden to a permanent unpayable penance to them. It’s a disgusting thing to do and expect of another person.
One part of being subjected to long term online harassment is that your abusers expect you to conduct yourself with some sort of higher honor, like a social media varian of "You go high, we go low."
"You can't copyright strike videos that steal from you to profit off you!"
"You can't mass flag harassment!"
"You can't call your stalkers horrible names!"
But like... why?
Why shouldn't I do all of that? You're going to act like I'm a monster and subject me to horrible abuse no matter what I do. You will literally never stop. You're already lying about me and you expect me to believe that I have the power to make you stop by capitulating to your demands? I could be on my best behaviour for the next 20 years and you'll still be doing this shit.
So what reason do I or anyone else have to not do all of those things?
Well we’re waiting..
Hey what if I posted the JJBA x Persona 4 Golden AU I’ve been working on… haha what if…
Bit weird that all the villains are kinky and the “good guys” are vanilla in the boys.
If this isn’t satire very good decision.
If you could call any show "The greatest show ever made" what would it be?
M*A*S*H
Funniest thing I’ve seen on the internet this month.
I’m wheezing
Who are you calling a pipsqueak midget who can't even go to the beach because he's so small that he'd sink in the sand and then when the tide comes in he doesn't even say that he's worried about drowning because he's so microscopic he can breathe oxygen atoms IN THE WATER!????!
-e.e.
NO ONE EVEN SAID THAT!!
Fanfic is a good and healthy part of creative storytelling.
However some of you are depriving the world of great art. Simple because you’re busy working within the copyright of existing art.
This is coming from someone that used to spend years writing fanfic before officially publishing original fiction.
Please publish your own work too. It’s scary but you’ll be better off for it. Especially when your original story starts getting love too.
Nobody knew they needed certain story worlds until someone took the chance and started a new one.
You can still write your fanfics but don’t miss your true calling.
Found several packs' worth of pokemon cards strewn across a target parking lot and took a pic to show my friends without realizing how much my outfit elevated the scene to "aftermath of a wizard duel"

TikTok is pro self censored speech. Alcohol in any capacity isn’t allowed to be mentioned. Even in a video where OP is heavily slurring their words from the passenger seat and is calling a rearview mirror a windshield repeatedly.
This can’t even be argued for safety on the platform type of thing. Because someone is mostly naked on another few scrolls away and another scroll away is a detailed description of a serial killer’s mutilated victims with poorly blurred photos. Plus the platform has content controls that can be enabled.
This platform started the trend of “unalive” “grape” and other self censorship. Even in the midst of the ad apocalypse on YouTube that type of self censorship would have been seen as cowardly. Now the pendulum has shifted and users on the internet self censor out of fear of getting their posts deleted. Far worse with the possibility of even getting banned.
I’m tired of basic adult conversation being forcibly watered down or flat out censored by big tech. No one is responsible for another’s sobriety or “influence”.
An entire generation is being conditioned into self censorship about very serious topics. The older generations are already following too.
This isn’t a “muh free speech” post btw. This is a “wtf how did we get here in allowing basic adult conversation being banned in social media”. Even Zuckerberg with all his blanket ban hammers and comment removals was never this bad.
There’s no way this is a real person. Nothing in the original post was said about having kids. Typical internet.
Long rant
I find it funny too because someone pointed out that almost nobody in the US pays for these. Most people, if they want one, will wrangle a stray one from around the airport. Not to mention typically luggage has had wheels since the 70s.
A rich businessman mad that he has to pay $6 out of his expenses. In an economy where most people struggle to afford groceries, this guy is upset about the possibility of spending $6 after traveling around Europe.
I was curious though if OP did have kids and simply didn’t mention them. If I was missing some crucial context that the replier had that I missed. So I checked OP’s profile. OP was traveling alone and has one daughter that appears to be an adult.
So nothing close to this imagined scenario in the comment replying to me. I realize the replier was projecting his scenario onto my comment. But my comment isn’t to the replier it’s to OP. Who clearly doesn’t have that specific scenario to worry over.
Additional Context:
(I made the original comment because I’m tired of people engagement baiting on there. Originally this site was about creatives showing off art.
Now it’s about non-stop engagement baiting like any other corner of the internet. A popular one atm is Europe vs USA .)
