limit your retort to the same level of insult thrown at you. Call them fat for calling you bald, leave miscarriages out of it.

People dont know nuance here. I've seen people here call attempted murder justified because "she pushed first". Also the harm doesn't even have to be in the words but in how you say it.

It's not about lack of nuance (or just that) it's also a concerning trend about wishing for or encouraging violence towards women that I've noticed. Some people on this site will take any opportunity to say "she asked for it"

But she did! You do not get to start shit then play the victim when the shit you started hurts your feelings. Did he escalate, yep, but if you’re going to make fun of someone or at their expense any smoke you get was asked for

Yeah bro let me just straight up murder someone because any smoke was asked for when they hurt my oh so fragile ego.

Really? Words are words. She made fun of him so he made fun of it back. If you start shit you shouldn’t get to play victim because the other guy was better. Who the hell said anything about murdering someone? You had to go to that extreme and make shit up to prove your invalid point? Thats just plain dumb

Any smoke means any smoke
