I'm sure we've all vented about some topic where we've made a generalised comment about a group, place, institution etc. based on a specific instance or string of events - that's just one of the ways frustrated expression has developed. Taking a very benign example, if you have a bad journey to work for example:

"Ugh, I strawberry floating hate trains, why are they always bloody late!" :x

Is every train late - no of course not, but it may feel that way sometimes! If it helps you vent some steam, and potentially get some sympathy from others - "sorry you had a bad journey Tony, trains can be annoying! ;) "

Does anyone in that situation really believe trains are gooseberry fool to their core and that every train is out to get them? No of course not, that would be ridiculous. I don't think it hurts to apply the same standard to most expressions like those being discussed here - for the vast majority of the time people are just venting and not trying to take part in some widespread conspiracy to seed the notion that some sub-group of individuals are inherently evil!

EDIT: Also I have to admit I dived into this conversation mid-way through and never addressed the origin - it's clearly strawberry floated up that Razer took this stance to a streamer responding to harassment in this way!

Sidenote: siderodromophobics is such a brilliant name - fear of the iron racetrack!

"Fear of the Iron Racetrack" sounds like Soviet propaganda

Siderodromophobia might be a brilliant name, but sadly it is androphobia that dominates this thread. :cry:

The amount of effort it takes to tell off both people is the same so why wouldn't you? If you talk gooseberry fool online, someone's going to tell you to strawberry float off.

There's a difference to venting about some object, like a train and a group of people (I actually think train is a bad example since they're run by people, and most people blame the people not the actual train. I'd say a computer is a better example). Saying negative things repeatedly about a group leads to more and more hostility towards them until people actually do start believing their own gooseberry fool. Look how many people genuinely believe that everyone in the government is just some leech, or how every person in political party x is part of the extreme right/left etc.

If someone wants to have a rant, than fine, but that doesn't mean people have to quietly accept what they're saying when it's a load of crap.

The only time it's okay to call an entire gender trash is if they're Forkies.

It's become commonplace online to call males trash, particularly white straight cis males. It's not correct and I hate it.

Never equate self-confidence as being trash. I'll have you know I have a friend who's a white straight cis male and he's absolutely lovely.

I just threw up a little.

But no, not all men are trash. Most wouldn't dream of doing something like that. And men get just as much sexual harassment from women. When you're gay/nonbinary and ace, the last thing you want is for a woman to try to grab your manbits. For some reason people never talk about how disgusting some women are.
