He called me a lemming. Fuck him.
Lemming, because you're on lemmy?People on reddit are called redditors, no? People making content on YouTube are called YouTubers. People who stream are called streamers. I'm sure there are more.
I could see the "weirdo" part being offensive, but I'm confused why you're upset about the lemming part. This is on lemmy. We are all lemmings, technically.
It would be like using discord and then getting upset with someone for calling you a discord user.
a pro gun weirdo lemming.
If that's how he's gonna talk to me I'll talk shit back.
We are all lemmings here. Lemming is colloquial slang for a person who uses Lemmy. That's all. I think you replied to yourself, btw.
He still called me a pro gun weirdo for saying you're not going to be able to disarm America. If that's the level of discourse, then America deserves school shooters.
I think you are being a bit overblown about being called a pro gun weirdo on a random internet forum. FWIW, I thought your previous comment was completely reasonable, and do not see you as a pro gun weirdo at all. I dont even think thats that much of an insult, I know people who would wear that as a badge. I agree that the reality is that America is not going to get rid of them anytime soon. Just don't take random comments on the internet so personally. They don't know anything about you and vice versa. They could be a little kid for all you know.
So? Fuck em.
