I’m sorry you’re suffering so much. I like seeing you around and would be sad if you stopped posting, but at the same time you have to do what you have to do for your health and safety. This response sounds really unhealthy and I would guess your therapist is right, there’s some really deep trauma it’s hooking into because without some missing piece the level of distress you feel about it doesn’t make sense. Someone on the internet was wrong, and was wrong about you, and then people upvoted it likely following a bandwagon effect (automatically upvoting the highest rated comment because it’s the highest). You weren’t in the wrong, and many more people than I have told you so, but the fact that one person said otherwise has had a disproportionately harsh impact on you. I hope you can get another session to help you soothe.
FWIW I bet you’re a much more liked Hexbearian here than that other poster who had the objectively incorrect take siding with your brother.
Yeah, and people definitely need to stop doing that blind upbearing bandwagon shit because it’s brainrot that has gotten POC deeply concerned about the level of racism on this website in the past. Something that white leftists do that’s really fucking annoying is that they assume that everyone in leftist spaces is based, but that’s because of projection. They themselves don’t ever want to admit their reactionary brainworms or things like their complicity in white supremacy—they want to uphold themselves as “one of the good ones” without doing any of the fucking work, so they’ll assume that every other white leftist is as “based” as they think they are and they can blindly upvote racist comments on Hexbear and feel like there’s nothing problematic about it when their entire fucking outlook on race is problematic. They have no awareness, and if what you’re saying is true—that these upbears stem from the bandwagon effect—then, quite frankly, fuck this site for putting me on the edge of extreme mental breakdown and getting myself hospitalized to face excessive racist and transphobic discrimination and only make my life worse than it already is.
