    not everyone who disagrees with you is a troll though.

    i often see people blocking others (me for example) just because they aren’t comfortable with having a debate with someone with completely opposite views.

    in that case blocking isn’t “not feeding the troll” but more “staying safe in your bubble”.

    the fact that OP is (apparently) a cringelord doesn’t make that particular point wrong.

      A few key points to live by:

      1. Not everything needs to be debated
      2. Even if you’re right, you can still be wrong
      3. Opinions are like assholes: everyone has them, and they usually stink
      4. People are allowed to prioritize their own mental health above someone else’s feelings
      5. Not everyone will agree with you, and that’s okay

        1. no, but we are talking about preserving your own bubble, which is a completely different matter.
        2. we aren’t talking about winning or losing, being right or wrong. it’s just about discussing, which isn’t always supposed to have a definite outcome.
        3. and if you put your own out there you should expect to be confronted with mine.
        4. living in a bubble isn’t healthy though, which is the topic of the comic here. not engaging is perfectly fine and I do it too.
        5. yes, that’s exactly what I meant.
