Idk like people are so fucking vindictive about anything approaching social ineptitude or sincerity on the internet and once you combine both it's like blood in the water and like?? I don't understand why you wouldn't at the very very least allow pity to stay your hand? Like going beyond any better or nobler feeling of sympathy or understanding or treating the other person like an equal, in the absolute WORST case scenario shouldn't at least pity stop you from jumping down their throats? Shouldn't pity be the worst, most condescending possible emotion you feel at all? There's so much palpable glee in punching down, it drives me nuts
