Dear Concern Trolls
Harassing and mocking people, especially children under the age of 17, is always super douchey.
Yes, even if you think they’re acting stupid. Yes, even if you think you know better. Yes, even if you think you’re helping.
Harassment and mockery never helped anyone with mental issues.
Harassment and mockery
never helped anyone with low self esteem.
Harassment and mockery
never helped someone with a fragile identity.
What it DOES do is teach fragile people that ‘normal’ people hate them and think they’re stupid. It DOES drive them further toward insular communities of other like minded fragile people.The same communities that you could consider ‘hugboxes’ or ‘echo-chambers’.
If you are harassing or mocking children you think are stupid because you think it will make them less stupid, please rethink your position. Children grow up and put away childish things.
If you are harassing adults that you think have mental issues because you think it will help them see their problem, please rethink your position. People with mental problems have enough on their plates.
If you are harassing someone to educate them, or toughen them up, please rethink your position.
If you’re harassing people because you think its funny; wow, you’re an asshole!
