Best thing about being a DM? Watching your players getting comfortable with their characters and getting really invested in everything.

And them adopting Feycats

this website is an absolute riot because like for every seventy eight problematic or straight up evil men in media that has everyone calling them their blorbo their husband their son their poor little meow meow and stating that they can fix him and writing endless self insert smut, there’s like one to three women in some other media that’s a bad person or problematic that gets the same unhinged beloved fandom treatment only for their tags to be a mix of the same shenanigans men get and a condescending series of posts talking about how she’s achsully a horrible bitch and if you like her you’re missing the point and why are you a misandrist idiot who doesn’t understand that women can be evil too

I don't think people really realize how hurtful exaggerating and mocking can be. When they do what you did, but WAY too dramatic. Or;

"I didn't say that!"

"I dIdn'T sAy tHaT!¡"

It invalidates the other person's emotions, like they really were just being dramatic and you don't care about how your actions affected them. Most people don't stop mocking even when asked to stop, which is even worse. You're clearly upsetting the other person and by ignoring that, you're telling them that you don't care.

It's invalidating and rude. Plus, completely immature. If you truly believe in the point that you're trying to make, then calmly state your point of view, then do your best to try to understand the other side.

If your go to method, when challenged, is mockery, then you clearly don't believe what you're saying. You're just trying to make the other side doubt their feelings, instead explaining why they should be confident in yours.

The difference between an emotional argument and a debate, is that

In an argument;

You're just trying to tear eachother down.

Make them feel bad.

In a debate;

You're trying to change their belief.

Make them feel good about something else.

Mockery is just hurtful and weak.

To make your point, you needs to make the other side understand. And to do that you need to understand them.

All points of view, all feelings, are valid. Emotions are unique and the way you react is reasonable, because that's how it made you feel. They can't be wrong.

However, you can feel that there is a better way to deal with your emotions and work on improving it. And those emotions are just as valid.

Violence and arguing is so pointless and doed nothing. But understanding creates sympathy. Sympathy, creates peace.

"you don't have to be friends, just try to get along."

You who are young will see many things that will try your courage and test your faith. All of the mocking does not come from outside of the Church. Let me say that again: all of the mocking does not come from outside of the Church. Be careful that you do not fall into the category of mocking.

Boyd K. Packer of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in “Finding Ourselves in Lehi’s Dream”

Mocking is never ok, never. Elder Packer may have been referring to other mocking people like me for my beliefs and my choices in following my conscience, but it extends to everyone who is targeted by bullies. I’ve been mocked by my peers, members of my own faith, for being different. It’s not an experience anyone should have to go through. Don’t mock anyone for how they live, what they believe, and who they are. You will be mocked by those you call your friends as you stand up for others. But don’t let it stop you from being kind. I know people in my religion, especially the youth, can be cruel. That is not our doctrine or beliefs. It’s people being cruel and you have just heard it being called out by the brethren.

I am a disabled cosplayer. Not all of my disabilities are out to see, but inside. I have a bad heart and have had open heart surgery so some of my crossplay may show the scar going down the front of my chest. I have a lazy eye because my parents and family figured that taking care of my heart issues, and making sure that I lived was far more important than a lazy eye. I have anxiety and social anxiety. I tend to get confused a lot. New situations frighten me when forced upon me. I have my little sister who helps me a lot. When she holds my hand I know that I'm with someone I'm trust who cares about me, and will make sure nothing bad happens to me, and if I have an attack she'll stay with me and help me through it, and take care of me when it's over. If you see us at a con, please do not drag her away from me. I need her. We are a pair. She is my safety net. I was told when I was born that I wouldn't live long, then I was told I wouldn't live past nine years old, but I'm still around. Going to my first con I didn't cosplay, but seeing all the awesome cosplayers of all shapes, sizes and colors made me want to do it too. My first cosplay was Gaara from Naruto, and I know I sucked at it, but I met Liam O'Brien and he complimented me, and said he liked my cosplay, and how different it was (I wore the Kazekage hat). He gave me a hug and posed for a picture with me. I gave him a teddy bear stuffie calling it Ruffy-Ruffy-kun after Gaara's teddy bear that he had when he was a small boy, and Liam loved it. The whole day I was Gaara I kept being asked for photos, and had people screaming chibi Gaara at me (I'm only 4'7"), and I was hooked on cosplaying even more. My hands shake so I have a hard time putting on makeup, but I'm getting better, but when I'm having one of my bad days I know my little sister is willing to help me out and be patient with me when my eyes and face twitch and tick. I'm a disabled cosplayer, and I've met many awesome voice actors, and I have fun. That's the important thing, right? To have fun. If you see me at a con please don't hesitate to say 'hi' or pose for a picture with me. I do love taking pictures with others and being in character. I do like hugs too. I am a disabled cosplayer. Yes, we do exist. We are not to be made fun of or mocked. We are out to have fun to so please respect that.
