You joke, but that’s not far off. $200 is a very rare ask, though. $40-60 is more common.

I’m fortunate to have almost never been asked for money.

Is it that? You said you don’t care about things that don’t affect you. Or at least, that’s what I understood. Maybe you can explain how what you said doesn’t mean that.

Yeah, I also am curious. I genuinely want to know.

Well, it seemed like a few users here were offended by that, and I don’t understand why. It’s not everything, it’s things I find stupid or of little consequence, like most arguments, or complaints on the internet.

Things you find stupid or of little consequence can have big impact on other people’s lives. Might consider that before saying it’s stupid or inconsequential just because it doesn’t affect you.

Ok, what do you think I’m talking about?

Handman said:

No, I’m just tired of the constant bitching over crap that has no impact on my life whatsoever. And that’s really what most of the internet has to offer. This “comicsgate” is most likely that.

Handman isn’t stopping anyone from caring about a thing he doesn’t want to investigate. And I don’t think it’s insensitive to not care about something that somebody else might care about.

He called it stupid and of little consequence.

It’s just funny (hypocritical?) that he himself is bitching about other people who are bitching.

The key difference being, he’s bitching about something inconsequential to him, that being other people bitching about something that is consequential to them.

Exactly right. You don’t care about something that doesn’t affect you, even though it does affect someone else? Cool. I mean, seems a little selfish and maybe even cruel, but that’s fine.

You complain about other people complaining about something that affects them? Not cool.

You seem to be coming from a place of knowing about comicsgate and have particular cares about it. Handman clearly doesn’t even know what it’s about so it’s not fair to say he is expressing callousness to you particular concerns. You could say, hey the name sounds dopey but it’s actually something important because X reasons. Maybe he’ll agree with you or maybe he’ll have more contrarian views about it. You seem to be way overreading Handman’s post.

I don’t have a clue what comicsgate is, same as him. My point is that it’s uncool to just assume it’s stupid and inconsequential without knowing anything about it, and how it might affect some people that aren’t you.

I know what gamergate is, and it’s stupid. I assume this is similar. A bunch of idiots attacking a bunch of other idiots, and some poor innocent person loses their job.

Most things that put “gate” at the end of them are probably dumb.

I usually have to sit through hours of people explaining this crap to me at social gatherings, and it’s as relevant to them as it is to me. So I’m kind of tired of it.

Ah ok so harassment doesn’t bother you at all then. It doesn’t matter if someone ends up having to move, in therapy, whatever, because it’s just a bunch of idiots attacking other idiots. Cool.

You ignored this:

and some poor innocent person loses their job.

But go ahead and make me sound unreasonable. I’m done talking to you.

I assumed you were talking about someone else. So if you’re talking about Zoe…how is it stupid and inconsequential?

It’s stupid and inconsequential to you and it seems like that’s all you care about. And I think that makes you sound unreasonable.

If you’re trying to argue something different, I still don’t see it.
