    I dunno. People correcting me on this stuff like an asshole just give away what fucking assholes they are. Its one of many mechanisms that helps me cut past the bullshit and realize who is absolute fucking scum by the way they treat others.

    Edit: Interesting how so much privilege is in here assuming no assholes exist and things don’t happen. Try being disabled in any way in high school or certain workplaces. I have experienced it numerous times, and I’ve witnessed it done to others.

      Uhh I mean sometimes people can correct you on things to help you out. It might help you avoid an embarrassing situation down the line. Not everyone is out to be an asshole

      mispronounces a word

      friendly person tells them how it’s pronounced

      "Its one of many mechanisms that helps me cut past the bullshit and realize who is absolute fucking scum "

      I believe that the person correcting you isn’t the one with a problematic mindset

        It’s spelled “believe” you absolute fucking scum.

        You presume they’re a friendly person. You cannot comprehend being bullied or laughed at. Some people, myself included, and some I have witnessed get laughed at. Especially in certain workplaces.

        You simply assume nobody is a jerk, and so you cannot comprehend how meaningful those rude interactions are. Presumably because you experience some kind of privilege that others don’t frequently attack how you’re “different.”

      You take offense at being corrected? Rather than take responsibility for making a mistake, you blame others for correcting you. That is something Trump does. I hope you grow out of this phase of your life, for your own sake.

        So explain to me how I’m supposed to take it when the supervisor laughs with my colleagues about it and then continues to bring it up at later meetings?

        “Omg you don’t know how to pronounce that? That’s is so funny. Hey Mark, guess what?”

        “Maybe yiu should get a refund for your degree…”

        And other fucking bullshit.

        I mean just one fucking example. I also personally know others who have experienced this.

        Enjoy your fucking privilege that nobody treats you as “different” in life. The rare occasions a person who actually has a shred of fucking decency corrected me, they did it nicely. Yes that happens. But the numerous others times where straight up fucking assholes make an embarrassing scene out of it … somehow that’s MY fault??

        Go fuck yourself.

      Wow, sounds like you have some anger management issues. As someone who used to struggle with this (and still do, to an extent), I recommend therapy.

      I appreciate being told the correct pronunciation of something, as long as it isn’t done in a dickish way.

      Also, *gives, *It’s

        I was literally talking about the dickish way. Of course it’s fine if someone is polite about it. Thats not my common experience, and I know others who also have experienced being bullied about it many times.
