expressing disagreement with someone isn't harassment :|

in any even, the whole "older people abusing teens on tumblr" narrative is bizarre to me because from what I've seen teens are far more likely to be harassed by other teens

You're really gonna do the thing where you call me an adult even though it makes me uncomfortable? Seriously?

Seriously, how did you take my "I'm not going to let you off for saying racist or sexist things just because you're a teenager" and turn that into me being an adult who wants to harass teenagers??
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
Right, I forgot about that, and well, I was speaking to a more general you.
But yeah, sure fine. Teenagers will hurt each other and since you've seen it and know that, you (as in people in general) should know better than to harass teenagers over stupid shit.

Ok, but you're acting like I said that harassing teenagers is acceptable, and that's pissing me off.
I said I'm not going to let them use "but I'm a teenager" as an excuse for saying bigoted things. Calling them out for bigotry is not always harassment.
I gotta say, now that I'm out as, like an actual teenager:
I never really got why people think we should be held less accountable for our actions. It doesn't make me feel any better and actually kind of comes off as condescending. :|

You're attacking the sentiment of "Be nice to the kids, they don't have a lot," a sentiment that is very important to me, and so I have not used the right words today.
"Be nice to the kids," and "think before you speak" are things we can agree on, right?
I still wouldn't bother because teenagers are, well, teenagers. Even if you are heartfelt and try to speak on their level, younger folks are simply less developed overall and aren't going to speak on your level experience-wise (or at least not as easily), generally speaking. Less that it's wrong to call out bigotry, more that you are very likely going to be wasting your breath, and/or getting angrier.
At least in my experience, although teens are still teens, other platitudes, blah blah blah.

You didn't intend to, but that's what you did end up saying by implication.
We all say things we don't mean sometimes or we don't cover all that we mean. It's fine.
Ok, you're gonna have to explain your reasoning for me, because I'm not seeing how you made the leap from "CentralAve thinks adults expressing disagreement with teenagers is acceptable" to "CentralAve thinks harrassment and bullying of teenagers by adults is acceptable."

The only thing I can think of is that you've had an extremely different Tumblr experience than I have, where the issue was only raised in cases of actual bullying or harassment.
Because I've seen plenty of instances where "but you're an adult and I'm a teenager, you should leave me alone!" is used to shut down harmless criticism.
Really I kind of think that coming into anyone's social media space (be that twitter mentions or DMs or tumblr messages or whatever) uninvited to criticize something they did is, at the best of times, rude, unless what they did is actually actively directly harmful.

Like I've seen people with some years behind them think they were being funny and righteous and strong-willed and then realize, no, they were just harassing others.

Also, speaking of which, in what world is bigotry a "meaningless opinion?"
Because it says "meaningless opinion." You've ascribed that meaning into those words. To me, a meaningless opinion is, I don't know, something something about video games and TV I guess?
And yes, you don't know them. Not only is it rude, but since they don't know you, they won't listen, or they'll listen to the wrong things.

Asking me to treat you a certain way because I'm an "adult" isn't going to get you anywhere anyways because that means you've refused to respect my decision to opt out of being considered an adult

While we understand you feel a certain way about adult/child stuff, the randos you meet online won't, keep in mind. And by that point you're faulting someone for something they didn't even know, which is more than a little unfair, never mind sidetracking from the main point (whatever criticisms).

Well, okay, I guess you're a teenager like all the others.
Then, take steps to think about what you say before you speak to your peers, I understand that adolescence means that tempers can flare a little high, happens very often to adults too.
flooding peoples' inboxes with complaints about how their opinions on anime and TV shows are Bad and Wrong isn't the same thing as telling someone why something they might have written would upset some people
although yes, a lot of the vitriol is at times unnecessary

Too often, the intent to do the latter turns into the former, is what I'm saying.

That said, my reading it that way was likely due to, as I said, having seen people actually say that in the past.
I dont like sharing this place with you
you are an astoundingly unpleasant person in every respect that I can think of
