Not so much a death threat but more of an indirect "kill yourself" through Reddit's care package system.

There was a comic strip/meme someone posted that was a reference to Romeo & Juliet and some people in the comments didn't understand it, so I gave my attempt at explaining the connection. Not only did I get my first taste at how heated Shakespeare nerds get about things not being exactly the same to count as references, but someone straight up just sent me a care package in good ol' Reddit tradition of love and peace.

Genuinely concerning how people get so angry at such a minuscule thing.

Yeah, I'd call him something along the lines of a really hateful good person? Not enough information to make that call but at least that's the impression I got

Idk if this helps, but most of the time someone writes without punctuation, it's because they're writing as if they were speaking.

So in this case, it can be read as someone spouting the whole thing as a single sentence without stopping (except for the self quotes). I do, however, acknowledge that it is way easier to read this if you are neurotypical and know how people's writing style is correlated to the way the speak.

How does one use a safe word when gagged and bound

That's very Earth-centric of you

I guess this counts as ranting from my behalf.

So what? What will revealing all of this do to those involved? Will the American public do anything about it?

I'm fucking tired of reading about how shitty people are shitty and continue getting away with it while the public does absolute jack shit

From what I read on other posts (which is to say, I haven't confirmed it so take it with a grain of salt), it was nonconsensual and incest games

"Ah yes, let us disregard basic grammar rules in order to make a stupid argument to 'prove' my point, that's clearly what'll convince people that my way is the right one"

My earliest clear memory is that of my 4th birthday, from the moment I woke up to a couple of hours later. I remember my mom telling me to get dressed up so we can go to the daycare and after to school, which I started to do and then thought "what's school? what's daycare?" (these I asked) "why are you my mom?" (this one I didn't for some reason). After being fully dressed, we got into the car and drove to the daycare, I was guided to a room that's next to the kitchen and told to wait. A couple of minutes later, I notice a light coming from the hallway connecting to the kitchen ("what's that? why is it coming closer?"), then the nanny, her husband and my mom come out with a cake. I then immediately asked why there was a cake, I was told it's my birthday, and then I asked what's a birthday.

So yeah I think kids ask a lot of questions the moment or around when they start to be self-aware.

I literally had a teacher once "correct" me for saying the area of a circle is πr² instead of πrr. I was told "you're not wrong but that's for future classes". On another class, I had a teacher correct a short story by removing repeated words, whereas I used repetition for emphasis, but used a comma instead of ellipsis. Think "I saw it, saw the thing" instead of "I saw it... saw the thing". Both was in early elementary, no higher than 3rd grade.

So, believe it or not, things happen to other people even if they didn't happen to you.

The worst thing about calling this fake is that it's not even unbelievable, it's a perfectly possible and mundane thing that most likely happened to millions of children as they grew up, yet everything in the internet is fake, right? No one just happens to record people for no reason, no one's smart enough to make funny jokes in the spur of the moment and get a reaction from strangers.

EDIT: Added context.

Reminds me of the time I saw people arguing on Reddit about the phrase "time is a social construct" where some people were completely incapable of understanding what that means and conflating the concept of time with the fundamental physics thingymcgee (idk how to call it and entity feels wrong).

People were trying so hard to explain that minutes, months, seasons, etc. are all arbitrary things made up only for them to retort with "but a year is a full rotation of the sun" or "seasons exist because that's how the planet changes its climate".
