A strong immune system is the best defense. If it rolls off your back, is it really toxic?
"These people are attempting to incubate a culture where you might get swatted for being vocally not a straight white man, but it is we who are too sensitive." Nah. The problem isn't the people who have the misfortune of being downrange of scumbags, and never is.
The answer is that you can't, and there isn't a firm line where all trolling is on one side and harassing/violent behaviour is something different.
Many of us can heuristically decide that trollish behaviour aimed at us won't extend to our person/home/workplace, and doesn't need to be taken seriously. That doesn't mean it's a rule for everyone or an excuse for that behaviour.
All the more reason for everyone to concealed carry. If not a firearm, at least something like a karambit.
What you call “extreme” is the reality for people less privileged than you being subject to these fucks’ weird jollies. What’s your just-ignore-it stuff going to do for them?
Whether someone who isn't as threatened by the toxicity "bucks up" and lets it roll off their back or even participates or not. It's still toxic.
E.g. don't tell me "racism isn't toxic except that you're sensitive and choose to be offended by it."
agree. but online trolling or banter isn't a toxic environment so its not toxic.
you would censor them? now THAT is a toxic environment.
The just roll it off, ignore the trolls collective strategy back amounted to enabling and whitewashing weev.
