The ego required for someone to come to this conclusion in the first place, and then double down on it when pressed, is genuinely astounding (scribe.disroot.org)

Well, I hope you recover from this experience quickly and completely!

    What did I just say about lying?

    I'm sincere. If you're experiencing real outrage then you have my sympathy and I do hope you feel better soon. Real outrage is not a fun emotional state to be in.

    Just recently I was talking about how, if you're consistently downvoted, it means you're in a asshole.

    People don't pile up and downvote kind, well-intentioned people, but they can smell an unwashed asshole from a mile away.

    If you're getting consistently downvoted for your terrible takes, then you should stop doing what it is that you are doing.

    Also, like, don't presume my emotional state. I give no fucks about whatever you have to say.

    You must be new to the internet.

    Fair enough. That was an unkind remark on my part, and your comment does demand a more thorough rebuttal.

    The idea that "popular" = "correct" is stupid on its face. Examples predate the internet, abound on the internet, and will continue to arise long after the internet dies. I could go into a white supremacist forum and talk about racial harmony and get downvoted into oblivion, but that wouldn't make me the asshole. And even if I were the asshole, I wouldn't be wrong.

    Upvotes do not confer moral rectitude. Downvotes are not damnation. And an opinion is not necessarily valid just because it is held by a majority.

    And I'm sorry for presuming your emotional state. But if you're not outraged by this, then why are you arguing that people should be outraged by this?
