banned-users

Sure, it's fun, but at the end of the day it doesn't really help

Banter is mutual bullying

it does help. Those who learn to handle banter are better off than those who do not

Banter isn't bullying though, like Max said

In moderation maube

maybe*

I don't know, maybe I am jaded because I cannot be upset by others

just seems silly

Well, if someone was making you feel bad just to make you feel bad or to get a laugh that's pretty messed up is it not?

Shouldn't everyone be laughing if you're making jokes?

I can laugh at people making fun of me

Not everyone can

yeah, and I think that is silly

I think loveland and pika are on other sidrs of the spectrum in this discussion

they should learn how to

My reaction to the Rob shit shows how me and Pika view this completely differently

I think, it should be fine, but when it's constant it's not okay.

As soon as Rob got physically involved, there's the dude who's not laughing in the group

And that's pretty shit

I agree

For the most part

The Phijkchu banter can get a little over the top sometimes, imo

Pika would you say Karp is bullied

no

he brings it on himself

so do you, and so does bopit

and Rob for that matter

say stupid shit, get mocked

I would say he is

"Everyone who I don't agree with or I think is stupid deserves to be bullied"

Bully me too

fuck man

I don't care

What reason do we have to bully you?

It's just not needed

i am with loveland

there is no point in negativity for the sake of negativity

Like sure negativity can strengthen someone's resolve

But it shouldn't be forced

I do not go out of my way to banter with people, but if they are there I am going to

Oh yeah, I can agree. But the internet is different when it's with polite company

Why make internet friends if you just treat it like any other part of the internet

That's just my view though

Why do I feel like I am one of the few people here who is the exact same in person as I am online 🤔

Pika my entire life is the internet at this point

^ fair point max

same as max i guess

i don't do much outside of the internet

It's better to treat people with respect than not

Respect is earned

I keep a healthy balance myself

I respect very few people

Well, I respect people unconditionally until the lose it

ok but do you just disrespect people you don't respect

Just because you don't respect someone doesn't mean you have to treat them poorly

No, I am neutral to people until they give me reason to disrespect them

like you're not gonna go around disrespecting people you only just met

Well pika just means that he CAN treat them poorly

I banter with people I just meet all the time

He doesn't have to

He just can

I have kicked off a discussion on bullying

I treat people I respect poorly because I know they can take it

Hm

shitting on friends is fun

treating people poorly is not a matter of respect

I do not even respect my friends tbh

I do not respect myself either, I have not done anything worth respecting

I respect you, Phijkchu_Pikachu.

I think that it is that you're just jaded then haha

that is foolish

lol

I respect your true love for huniepop

I mean, if I respect any old asshole, my respect is worthless

if you respect everyone, than you might as well respect no one

Why does respect have to have worth

fair

it does not
