NEW RULE!!

What /u/IWantAFuckingUsename was trying to do was differentiating between being a man and being male. They had a very good and extremely valid argument. But that is far from the point of anything I am saying to you. I didn't come here to explain why /u/IWantAFuckingUsename got upvoted and you got downvoted to oblivion.

Your experience doesn't mean anything about individuals in today.

It does, actually. In fact, when you're a mod, experience means everything. My experience gives me insight into how you're going to reply. My experience tells me that arguing with you is probably the most pointless thing I've done in the last couple of weeks. My experience tells me that, if you continue down the path you're on, you'll be banned by the end of next week. Unless you want to surprise me by cooling your shit, but hey, thats up to you.

If someone is self deprecating people won't usually try to add onto that, and if they do people call them out.

Thats sometimes true. More often than not though, self depreciating is seen as fishing for compliments and fucking nobody likes that which is what drives them to join in to the hate. So why let that even sometimes be a problem? Im not mad that people arent being confident; confidence is extremely hard to acquire. I'm mad that they are actively working against themselves. That is the reason for the new rule. If people want to give constructive criticism then thats fine (as long as OP is ok with it) but "but whats up with your eyebrow?" is not constructive. Its just criticism. In that particular case, OP was lighthearted about it, but as someone who obviously understands people so well (/s), why aren't you more understanding of how your words might come off?
