    I am struggling to understand why approaching any topic with calm and critical thinking instead of potentially rash action based on potentially temporary feelings is toxic?

    To me, especially how it’s drawn here the character with the stamp is being toxic. Dismissing without asking someone who is calmly saying something. Depict the saying character in a dismissive or hostile way? Fair point.

    How is a ten year gap a rash decision? Based off who the artist is, the feminine character is also most likely trans, and it wouldn’t be too much of a leap to assume that her feminineness is what was being called a ‘phase’ in the first panel.

    Whether intentional or not, your comments here come across as concern trolling, so I’m going to disengage now. Have a good day though! <3

      Oohhh we are both interpreting this differently! Okay now I get and yeah youre right. Then I misread this.

      I understood this as ‘10 years ago it was like that and you’d have to eat it, and now, people can just tell them they are wrong because of the progress in the field’

      I didn’t think of it as "I can finally tell people who told me it was being rash 10 years ago to suck it.

      Makes more sense tbh :/ sorry for misinterpreting this.

      But not everyone is a troll who has a different view of you, I just understood it differently

        Unfortunately trolls these days are much more devious than in the Internet’s infancy, so can often look indistinguishable from someone who is genuinely misunderstanding or means well. Sometimes you have to step away for the benefit of your own mental health and sanity. I’m glad we could figure out a mutual understanding though.

          Fair, but then blanked assuming this, sounds like the wrong approach, But I am not about to teach you how to act on the internet; you do you. Before your accusation, there was a nice explanation that helped me understand, thanks for that.
