    FYI most people won’t even know that NPD is a thing (I didn’t until now), and will struggle to empathise with someone apparently being actively hostile. Everyone’s a dick on the internet, and that makes everyone think that everyone else is a dick too. Compiling a list of everyone that’s wronged you and pointing to it every time they say something will not make you happy and will turn people against you. Everyone (regardless of mental state) needs to realise that arguing on the internet just makes you more frustrated. Remember the old internet rule “don’t feed the trolls”; worry about real life people who matter, not faceless usernames who don’t.

      Not using slurs is a basic precondition to being a good person. My aim is to give people the information needed to make basically ethical decisions, which means not supporting bigots who use slurs. If certain people are too much slaves to their base emotions, and too little capable of simple reasoning, then I am not responsible for the choices they make to fight for the side of hatred.
