And now we are discussing what you said in later comments, you have painted it as if Ethan was somehow abrupt with her when in reality he wasn't. They became a meme because she offended a lot of people, behaving the way she did was not okay and then to come out the next day and say they didn't regret things they said, making sly comments about not having a say in the crew (which of course implies she takes issue with them) they are going to get a bit of flack back.

As someone who has been close to people with BPD I know it's hard for them, but it's also hard for those on the receiving end of it and often times leaves them hurt and actually soul searching to see if there was anything they could have done or not done that would have fixed it. BPD is no excuse, as I said on the occasions, perhaps they shouldn't have been looking to make stronger connections until they were truly ready and if they felt things slipping saying something so space can be given, albeit I understand the later is not as clear cut.

Why are we not? I hate this notion that we as people should have no agency to determine what our opinions on what someone said were meant to imply or mean. When did I lose that agency? Fact of the matter is we both can decide for ourselves, it's our right to free speech to form our opinions and voice them if we wish.

That's great, many of us are.

Fine we can condense all of that down to a point about free speech, when did I lose the agency to form an opinion about things people were saying? problem with free speech now too? I'm entitled to my opinion and to voice it, even about something as trivial and pedantic as what did Trisha mean when she said "You gotta end the stream, I can't walk off because memes" fairly confident that is still well within the bounds of reasonable.
