      I wonder if I’ll ever see someone criticize another person’s reading comprehension where it doesn’t translate to “the only way someone could possibly dislike the angry nuance-less thing I’ve ranted about is if they are too stupid to read because obviously I’m always smart and right and good but no one else is”

      Not sure I’ve seen it yet. Which makes sense, if someone truly did have trouble reading, it would be a pretty huge dick move to be mean to them about it.

        Sometimes I criticize the reading comprehension of tankies/trolls when they ignore the entirety of my nuanced argument and revert to an onslaught of strawmen, red herrings, ad hominems, and sealioning, because there’s no way to engage in good faith with someone deadset on engaging in bad faith.

        That’s clearly not the case here, but it does happen…

          I mean that might happen, but I think normally people just refuse to read if the tone or overall point isn’t to their liking. I know I do that. If someone starts off being a jerk I don’t read their 10 paragraph diatribe. Doesn’t feel productive.

          Thank you for identifying yourself as being 100% like this. Ya know sometimes people don’t read what you’ve written because you write it in an awful disgusting tone and this is one of those times. Blocked

      Your writing is the problem, the attitude doesn’t help but the writing is definitely an issue.
