that's a legitimate reason to be upset, especially if it was recent.
but tbh if that's the case they really should take an internet sabbatical if the mention of mothers' day is going to upset them, because the internet tends to go OVERBOARD with mothers day marketing
my mom's dead and i don't act like a pathetic bitch when people bring up mother's day in any form. i'm actually pissed when people feel like they have to walk on eggshells around me with fucking your mom jokes.
another anon here with a dead mom and tbh, i agree with the ayrt. maybe it's because mine's been dead so long and i wasn't close to her, but i've never gotten so butthurt over mother's day, because hey, i can rationalize that other people appreciating their moms on a day for it has nothing to do with rubbing my face in it. just like father's day isn't everyone having fun while i have no idea who my dad is. it's not about me, it's about moms. and while if you had a close relationship with your mom and they passed, i'm not an idiot and i know that sucks, but this whole 'mothers/fathers day triggers me' crap is just that, crap. if it bugs you that much, just avoid the internet for that day because otherwise you're taking something that's meant to be celebrated and shitting on it because you can't play along. why should other people feel guilty about being happy to get their mom a card/flowers because you can't? ('you' referring to anyone that's this bent out of shape over mother's day). like, take responsibility for your own feelings. if the day bugs you, don't go online on that day. don't put yourself in a place where people talk about it and certainly don't pull out a sob story woe is me card. that's a bitch move.
it wasn't a sob story though. they were just asking people not to bring it up when talking to them because it makes them upset. it's not an unreasonable request, and making fun of them for it is a mean thing to do.
'if mothers day comes up in games-' is taking their ooc shit into games. this isn't bringing it up on plurk, this is expecting the place they go to (dwrp) on mothers day to somehow avoid talking about or playing with the idea of mothers day. if it bothers them that much, take a vacation for the day. it won't kill them.
... and you expect me to know that's what they said based on a misquote. if that's the case, then good for them for knowing their limits. i still stand by what i said when it comes to the people that don't and make it all about them and their own tragedy. -1 for op.
and the person op is talking about actually IS showing respect, they're just saying they're going to be cranky and will probably ignore any mentions of mother's day around them, including in-game
which you would fucking know if you were paying attention to the rest of the thread
unless you're op, in which case you can shut up entirely for twisting the truth to begin with :)
oh fuck off you dumb piece of shit. that's not what i said at all. i had a close relationship with my mom. she was my best friend. but i'm not going to whine about how mother's day triggers me and no one should talk to me about it. if anything it's nice to see people appreciate their mothers while they're still alive. for me personally i spend the day paying my respects to my own mother rather than sobbing over the internet and trying to make other people feel sorry for me.
you're still incredibly fucking disrespectful. just because you deal with something one way doesn't mean everyone has to follow your example. so no. i read nothing wrong at all. you think someone is lesser for not dealing with their grief the way you do.
and no one said anything about being triggered, so don't even play that shit.
no one gives a shit about what you think people deserve, and no one was crying for anyone to do anything. you pulled what you thought i was saying right out of your ass, because you wanted to be salty and self-righteous about... how you mourn? okay
if you're insisting that no one in your vicinity even mention something that's a normal cultural occurrence because it makes you sad, sorry, but you're the shitty person.
mute shit. stay offline for the day. don't expect the rest of the world to stop because you're in mourning.
first of all, that's not what the person on plurk even said
second, I'm not asking anyone to do anything. the person you're defending is an asshole who thinks people are weak for grieving in a way that's different from theirs, and apparently you can't read for shit
if someone can't even handle a highly popular holiday coming up in their game, then it's on them to take initiative and avoid the internet for that day
There's a difference between walking on eggshells about moms 24/7 and avoiding talk about moms on Mother's Day. You know, the day where we're supposed to celebrate, love, and honor our moms? Where people do special things for their moms?
If the player had asked people to not mention moms at all around them, all the time, then yeah that would be unreasonable. But this is about a specific holiday, and it is only going to be a problem for a week or two tops.
Finally, just because you're over your mom's death doesn't mean everyone is. I know someone whose mom died over 20 years ago and they still get upset around their mother's birthday. Everyone grieves differently, and it's really low of you to shitpost because someone is grieving in a way that is different from how you grieve.
well, maybe if you actually had some kind of sympathy for people who handle not being over shit differently than you do, no one would have to be an asshole to someone who is clearly far more of one
