I think we might all be more effective here if we considered these aspects of effective

Perb was more entertaining 10+ yrs ago. Now it’s catered to a more let’s just say “fragile” crowd. Fun to check in once in a while but overall boring. Now we get threads of : if an SP compliments me does that mean she likes me…. yes dude 100% she loves you.
It's ironic that the younger generations are often seen as sensitive, fragile and sheltered, but on this forum, its mostly the opposite 😂

God forbid anyone be "fragile" ...
You thought that when you started this thread talking about having a minimum of decency and how a conversation between adults should proceed even during a debate ...which follow a certain protocol was going to last ...

Yep ! I give it another 48 hours before it turns sour just by the way it's progressing. Sadly

I thought it would have been toast a long time ago to be honest. It’s going better than I had expected, more acceptance than I thought there would be, so perhaps we’re evolving? Or I was wrong, I’ll take either and both.

This is just a reminder that being passive aggressive can be just as harmful as direct insults.

Everyone, please think about your comments and consider if you are being passive aggressive or throwing shade. Perhaps you are not as nice as you believe yourself to be!

Great point!

Would you be willing to provide an example of this? It is so easy to misread intent over text and we often read things with our defenses up and project our own insecurities into their intention and reply similarly. I’m def guilty of passive aggressive + underhanded low key slights without even realizing what happening beneath the surface, until later when I’ve had some space to process.

I cant help but notice some guys in this thread are constantly on this platform often provoking arguments, use offensive or condescending language, and act as if they are morally superior. I can't help but wonder if they realize they are being hypocritical. Or perhaps they are so deluded that they believe they are the heroes fighting against boogeyman misogynists.

At least I am self aware enough to know I am an asshole on here a lot of the time.
Nothings worse than someone who is an asshole who thinks they are a "nice guy"

Keep in mind that Perb is quite more civilized than Terb and Merb but we still reach the bottom of the pyramid often in those heated threads.
I dunno.
I live in Toronto, so I mostly use TERB. I created an account here because I travel to Vancouver for work a lot.
On TERB, the general discussion area and lounge are very open to free speech, allowing for different viewpoints. This makes it more interesting and less confrontational compared to here where only one ideology is accepted, and anyone who goes against said ideology is banished
On TERB, we have a big problem where moderators take down alot of the reviews.

I suppose there is nothing inherently wrong with being "fragile"

But when being "fragile" is used as a reason to attack or harm others, it is wrong.
It's wrong when being "fragile" is used as a justification to put others down or make oneself appear morally better.
Using being "fragile" as a pretext to censor and silence individuals who hold differing opinions than you is wrong.

I think it would be quite passive aggressive of me to point out other being passive aggressive, passive aggressively.
Im sure you can figure it out :)

“weaponized fragility” aka victim mentality
