RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I like baiting bigots into saying what they really mean so they tell on themselves in front of normal people (lemmings.world)

idk if there's a word for this, but i recently argued with someone who was ranting about "boat people", referring to migrants coming to the UK. i was like "ohhh you mean sailors? I like their hats. mad respect to them, must be a tough job ay?" and then in front of everyone the bigot clarified they meant people who aren't white entering the uk which then caused other people to confront him since they knew what he meant. basically i like getting them to show themselves up in front of everyone. like asking people who are against "DEI" what it stands for. always funny when a bigot is being vague on purpose and then they can't resist saying what they really mean lol
