Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Read your words again, see the ways in which you are closing yourself off to a whole category of people.
Flailing out at mean as you succumb to simple attraction of stereotypes won't do anything for the health of your soul.
I was careful with my words, and I meant them. I'm sorry you were offended. "Off my chest" may not be a healthy environment for you if it makes you this angry. Best of luck to you.
I understand that you have a right to vent and be upset at people, but that doesn't mean that it is suddenly okay to perpetuate ableist stereotypes.
Look I'm trying to be understanding here but this community actually does have a rule against ableism. So we absolutely are not expected to tolerate ableism even if you're just venting.
