jump off a bridge, cunt

see this is a perfect example of what not to do with a hate ask.

  • poorly matched to hate target: the suicide bait is a classic of anon hate, but it’s a rookie mistake to deploy it against just anybody. any careful look at my blog would see that i am incredibly egotistic–using a hate tactic better suited to a blogger with low self esteem is just sloppy.
  • too generic to sting: this ask mentions no specific details about any problematic behaviour, annoying personality traits, or my personal life. since it feels like it could have been sent by anyone to anyone, it’s difficult to take it personally.
  • cultural mismatch: ‘cunt’ probably comes across a lot harsher in your cultural context. however, i live in the UK, so i get called and call other people a cunt every day. as such, you’re left with a lackluster ending for a very weak ask overall.

F. see me after class
