The fact you can't tell anyone to go f themselves online anymore without getting banned is absurd and sad (lemmings.world)

YouTube? Deleted comment. Twitter? Banned, Reddit? Shadow banned and blocked Xbox live? You get kicked out online mode despite you are PAYING for it. You can't express your anger or hate towards other people without some kind of freedom.

No I'm not saying that RACISM or serious accusations should be allowed, but a simple "fuck u" gets you eliminated. Is depressing.

It's a simple solution; don't hate. If you disagree, find a more creative way to express it besides "fuck off".

Try this one: say "I hope the rest of your day is as pleasant as you are"

The real pro move is to learn to just roll your eyes, and walk away.

Or block them, and walk away.

It makes certain angry-on-the-internet types so so SO mad when you just shrug and ignore them, but alas, it's a lost art since everyone likes being mad about everything all the time now.

I agree to the least extent. I agree that when people express their hate, it doesn't bother me. However, I'm a smartass. I always have something to say about everything, which, fairly, I should work on. But I'm also a pretty skilled smartass. I've resorted to translating the smartass statement and then taking it word-for-word serious. It upsets people so much

Well you can hate plenty without saying "fuck off". You can stalk them and report anything they say that plausibly crosses the line. You can play passive-aggressive games. You can downvote. You can argue in poor faith.

Plenty of hateful ways to express yourself within the bounds of the rules. It's arguably the path to success.
