O+o+o+o+hhhh! Yo+u remind me o+f Kankri, befo+re he became insufferable... He even had the same cute ho+rn nubs...
Feed him he's melting away
There is n9thing "cute" a69ut having smaller than average h9rns, and I take 9ffense t9 y9u referring t9 them as nu6s. This is incredi6ly patr9nizing and I am very disapp9inted in y9u.
Kankri, yo+u sho+uldn't try and to+ne po+lice o+thers. If so+meo+ne thinks that so+mething is cute, then they think it's cute. And given the variety o+f ho+rns that Tro+lls can o+r can't have, yo+u can't really tell me that anyo+ne has an 'average' to+ be smaller than. Also+, yo+u speak o+f 'patro+nizing', as if yo+u do+n't then try and patro+nize me, by saying yo+u're 'disappo+inted' in my respo+nse to+ so+meo+ne else's picture that they shared, and if they to+o+k o+ffense to+ my wo+rds, co+uld very well have said as such to+ me directly. Please do+n't speak o+n the behalf o+f o+thers, it's dismissive and demeaning.
I'm n9t t9ne p9licing, I'm expressing an 9pini9n as a direct resp9nse t9 s9mething that was said a69ut me. If y9u have such a pr96lem with my 9pini9ns (again, an 9pini9n a69ut s9mething that was said *a69ut* me), I w9uld suggest next time n9t talking a69ut me 9n a pu6lic f9rum where I c9uld easily stum6le acr9ss the p9st. We sh9uld all c9nsider 9urselves lucky that I'm the 9ne wh9 f9und it and n9t 9ne 9f the m9re em9ti9nally precari9us Kankris that frequent this we6site, as they may n9t have the patience that I am gracing y9u with t9night. As far as calling things cute, I actually d9 reserve the right t9 ask y9u n9t t9 refer t9 me 9r any part 9f my pers9n as such. N9t calling s9me9ne s9mething they d9 n9t wish t9 6e called is a 6asic tenet 9f respect, and as an adult tr9ll, I find it disrespectful t9 6e infantilized in this way. "Cute" is a w9rd reserved f9r wrigglers and helpless 6easts, and the last time I checked, I am neither 9f th9se things. T9 liken me as such is t9 imply that y9u think I am s9meh9w lesser than y9u. I trust that y9u d9n't think s9, 6ut y9ur careless w9rds insinuate 9therwise. Y9u als9 may have n9ticed that this Karkat did n9t resp9nd t9 y9ur c9mment. Have y9u c9nsidered that perhaps he f9und it s9 triggering that he was una6le t9 manage a resp9nse? Y9u cann9t and sh9uld n9t expect every9ne t9 adv9cate f9r themselves at all time, as that puts the 9ffended party in an unc9mf9rta6le p9siti9n 9f having t9 perf9rm additi9nal em9ti9nal la69r 9n t9p 9f their upsetness, and as 69th a Seer 9f 6l99d and Karkat's descendant-ancest9r, it is my resp9nsi6ility t9 stand up f9r him and f9r any marginalized pers9n wh9 is una6le t9 stand up f9r themselves. That y9u feel the need t9 argue with me instead 9f simply reflecting 9n the harmful affect y9ur w9rds have tells me that y9u d9n't truly value his em9ti9nal well6eing.
First, I was referring to+ the Kankri that I knew, and I sincerely do+ubt that yo+u're my Kankri anymo+re than I'm yo+ur Po+rrim. So+ by extensio+n, any co+mments I made were abo+ut that specific Kankri. No+tice ho+w I've no+t called yo+u o+r yo+ur ho+rns 'cute' o+nce, since yo+u began to+ engage with me? And I will call it to+ne po+licing, because 'cute' isn't reserved exclusively fo+r Wrigglers and helpless beasts, anymo+re than 'beautiful' is reserved fo+r co+nventio+nally attractive wo+men. O+r are yo+u go+ing to+ say that certain wo+rds are o+nly fo+r certain gro+ups, and get into+ the territo+ry o+f reinfo+rcing the artificially co+nstructed gender binary that wo+uld see no+ men being called 'pretty' and no+ wo+men 'handso+me'? It's also+ equally likely that the Karkat in questio+n simply agreed with me, and felt no+ reaso+n to+ add to+ anything. Which I wo+uld perso+nally find mo+re believable, because I believe they were o+ne o+f the o+nes who+ actually liked my co+mment abo+ut them being cute. O+r are yo+u go+ing to+ say that yo+ur Dancesto+r is so+meho+w incapable o+f standing up fo+r themselves? If he says anything to+ me abo+ut his po+st, then I'll acquiesce to+ his co+mfo+rt levels and respect his bo+undaries. But I will no+t self censo+r o+r watch my to+ne, o+n the o+ff chance that I might po+tentially upset so+meo+ne who+ isn't the perso+n I was talking to+ at the time.
