A lot of you need to get outside the confines of ERA more often. This is pretty much par of the course for Discord chats and the internet in general. I'm not saying it's okay. It's definitely in very poor taste and immature. But are you guys honestly shocked?
I'm 31 years old and have been browsing the internet since I was about 12 or 13. Nothing shocks me anymore. I've seen terrible, disgusting, horrifying shit from one end of the web to the other. Yeah, sometimes I get angry when I see something really ignorant, hateful or mean spirited. I wish somethings didn't exist, but well, they do.
But, I'm just not gonna let it ruin my day. There are are lot of bad people out there, but a lot good people too. You gotta just keep moving because you can't let the assholes get you down, rent space in your head and make you lose your sanity.
Life is hard and complicated enough. I simply don't have the time or energy to fuss with some of this stuff anymore, especially as I get older. I'm not going to make excuses for it though. Ultimately, one way to make the world a better place is to live by example. Small acts of kindness and showing compassion, every day, goes further and makes more of a difference than you may think.
