@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk @leeloo Even if something isn't meant as a gotcha question, if it looks identical to a gotcha question, it does harm in the same way as a gotcha question.
Subjecting victims to microagressions might not be intentional, but it is still something that should be called out.
@ahltorp @leeloo I struggle to see the harm in questions. You are ALWAYS free to ignore them. And that's fine! Actively attacking people asking questions seems to me to do a LOT more harm, overall. It's a terrible thing, to attack people for asking questions. If someone is a troll, ignoring them is far more frustrating to them than being yelled at.
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk @leeloo We have a specific term for that: #sealioning
@ahltorp ....do you not know how to use the block and report buttons?
"It is ok to preemptively bully people who ask questions I think are in bad faith" is how you end up bullying a LOT of people asking questions in good faith. The main outcome is that you become a bully with a shitty justification for your desperate need to feel like you did something.
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk What good does the block and report buttons do against sealioning?
