    I’m not even talking about the usage of literally. I just find it a really odd thing to do this “I really want others to know how invalid their view is” thing about.

      i literally cant understand this perspective. septums are great. everyone looks better with a septum. i didnt start really liking my nose until i got mine. i hope you move past your hate someday to find the beauty of the septum piercing.

      You took issue with their use of “literally not understand”. They were clearly using the word literally as a figurative saying.

      They did the same thing as the commenter they replied to - where’s your comment criticizing the person saying all septum piercings look bad?

        Thanks for telling me what I was thinking. Definitely not rude or weird to do at all. Now invent something else to be offended about.

          Is this satire? How can you “literally not understand” the perspective that the unchanged human face would be preferable for some people over literally anything you could do to it?

          I read your comment where you clearly quote what you took issue with and all I did was reply that they weren’t using “literally”…literally lol

            I attempted to correct you on what I meant however you didn’t believe me which is a weird move. Might be better to not confidently assert what others did or mean unless you can actually be sure you’re right.

              I wasn’t offended, I was offering that they didn’t mean that they literally can’t understand. It’s on you that you got offended by me linking to discussion about the word “literally” having different meanings.

                You assumed I meant something which I could understand but when I corrected that you told me I was lying. This is asshole behavior and I’ve had my fill. Btw I’ve noticed you repeatedly trying to call out people publicly without seeming to care if your accusations are even correct and you also did it to me privately once and it’s always pretty abrasive. Congratulations, I blocked that community you ran me out of. No one else seemed to have a problem with me speaking there and the rules very much didn’t say that either. But I tried to tell myself you were trying to be helpful even though it clearly was designed to make me feel shitty.

                I find it very strange that you see yourself as Internet police and I know other people dislike it also.

                So yeah, I won’t be opting into all this anymore. I won’t be seeing your replies.

                  Whoa, I never said you were lying. I was explaining how I read your comment and WHY I replied with the explanation of the word “literally” having different definitions.

                  Congratulations, I blocked that community you ran me out of.

                  You should’ve had womensstuff blocked a long time ago if this is your attitude. Holding a grudge this long for not being allowed in a women’s only community? Really?
