Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

On the other hand it's funny watching a shithead dig their own grave

And broken house glass everywhere. Now you're homeless. Like the dude in the comment chain.

The link in the description has the full comment. OP said that they cropped the original image to keep it from being super long.

I actually thought it was just a rhetorical joke setup. Like, there is no other hand.

But no, he actually blames the woman herself.

On the one hand, men in glass houses have no business throwing stones.

He was wrong for that & should've known better.

On the other, he can't post nudes online as his meal ticket the way you can.

Beauty privilege is as real as financial privilege; partly earned, mostly inherited. As an OF creator, your body is capital.

On top of that, for the past several decades, government rigged hiring & university enrollment in your favor, excluding & impoverishing heterosexual white men in particular.

You are, to some extent, to blame for his poverty, & now you're dunking on a homeless man from a position of historically unprecedented privilege because of a mild barb. You reveal more of your inner ugliness than you likely intend.

Lmao “It’s everyone else’s fault I suck!”

Dudes blaming the patriarchy in the most patriarchal way imaginable.

I honestly even forgot the “roughin’ it for clout” guy started the whole thing by saying

Pushing 30 with no kids in 2026 is Crazy

A homeless man that pays for the blue twitter checkmark, mind you

Wow. But I can almost guarantee he would unironically wax principled about the importance of personal responsibility.

Sense may be common, but self-awareness seems elusive to many.
