Fuck.

590. It's not about you.

Once you realize that it's not about you, you'll realize how to have a civil discussion on the Internet. You take things personally. Who gives a shit what assholes say about you (and yes, I regard the poster you're defending as one of those people who talk shit about people). If it's not true, then they can fuck off.

You say I don't get it, fine, that's your opinion, I don't care if someone claims that. "You don't understand," is something I've heard so often on the Internet it's a joke. I don't care. I focus on objective fact.

And the objective fact in this subthread is that someone thinks the suicide of someones brother is a "tiny Internet game." Full stop. Do not pass Go, do not collect $100.

Nevermind you shouldn't be using fucking suicide as an Internet arguing point. It's bound to backfire. Only those with questionable character would ever resort to that tactic. People have been affected by suicide across the board. Troop suicide is even one of the leading causes. It's insane to try to score points on it.
