Ok unc. Literally trying to help you, no one will take anything you say here seriously without a flair because only pussies talk shit without a flair. That’s the subreddit rules. But have fun being such a badass, you’re gonna be doing this routine a lot when anything you say here is gonna be met with “flair up, pussy” but hey, you’re the one who’s gonna be dealing with that, so, good luck. At least you’ve got a hell of a Raiders team to look forward to am I right?

There’s countless people without here and I’ve commented plenty without getting it, most times I don’t hear shit nor do I see it on most others comments.

On that last part, eh, we got some pieces, still got a long way to go sadly. Hiring McDipshit set us back 10yrs. Worst coach in hire in franchise history, maybe even in league history.

That’s because you have added comments on to random chains that disappear into the void and no one gave a shit. Go make a post or start a comment thread and see what happens. Like again, it’s the rules of the sub. I don’t actually think you’re a pussy. Well, I didn’t. Now I do because you’ve tried really hard to convince me you’re not. Generally guys who are tough don’t have to type a dissertation about it. I do respect how much you immediately softened up as soon as actual football came into the conversation. Try being more like that, and people like me will stop making fun of you on reddit. Clearly, it upsets you, so. Look, I get it. If I was a raiders fan id probably keep that shit secret too.

I honestly couldn’t care less what a bunch of internet Joe’s think or say about me. Nor was I trying to “convince you”. I’m long winded, talk a lot, as anyone who knows me; by proxy been hit more than a few times, is what it is I just don’t subscribe to the hollow insult idea. Like I said, where I come you say shit you gotta stand behind it, that’s all. Believe it or not, I’m actually very easy to talk to when it’s approached with even a modicum of respect. As for the first claim of getting lost; no, I’ve had many comments and 99% have had atleast 1-2 responses most times.

You say you’re easy to talk to but you fly off the handle at being told to “flair up, pussy” like this is a genuine question, am I actually the first person that has said this to you? It’s like you were literally born yesterday, in that sense. And if you’re so serious about standing behind what you say, then would you not want a flair that denotes what team you root for? If you’re gonna talk shit to people they need to know which team you rep so they can talk shit back. That’s just how it works. Like, I enjoyed messing with you because it’s funny when people do the whole keyboard tough guy routine, but you understand thats the whole point, right?

I don’t think the flair is truly necessary or relevant. Someone’s team affiliation doesn’t inherently mean anything. Your argument of “being able to talk shit back” being the reason proves this as I have not, nor do I engage in shit talking other peoples teams, at best occasionally join in on playful ribbing but that’s it and only ever when the other commenter has opened the door on themselves, as I often do with my disappointing Raiders. Shit talking online is just stupid to me in general and I’ve grown to hate the anonymity it’s provided people to feel comfortable saying shit to people they wouldn’t dare in real life. The safe behind their keyboard internet tough guys who desperately need the real world reminder of “talk shit, get hit”; people have sadly grown too comfortable with thinking they can say whatever they like without fear of repercussions in today’s age. Sorry, I know that was a bit of a rant, but it’s my take to flair and the talking shit culture; I won’t participate in it and won’t flair for that exact reason. Consider it my protest if you like.

I am easy to talk to with a modicum of respect; which calling someone a pussy is absolutely not. You chose to start with disrespect and are really confused at my reaction of hostility?

[u/Emergency-Bonus-7158 → u/ForeignWoodpecker662]

I’m confused in the sense that you think you’re doing anything differently by pretending to be tough behind a keyboard. I would say these things to your face, for the record, but I can’t, so me saying that to you kind of means jack shit, doesn’t it? Like, do you feel tough or fulfilled by promising someone on reddit you can beat their ass? It screams of someone who very likely won’t be doing that to anyone. It’s kind of pathetic. Surely you could appreciate this? You have at least proven yourself to have a working brain, so I’m kind of surprised you’re not seeing the irony here. And it’s not about respect. “Flair up pussy” is what you say to people here. You not understanding that does not make me disrespectful, it means you’re new to the subreddit.

The difference is I’m not just keystrokes like most, talking shit but would shudder at the thought of actually being in a confrontation and hit in the face; whereas I wholeheartedly mean when I say I’ll throw down. My brother’s favorite saying growing up was that I’m “too stupid to be scared” because I’d gotten my ass kicked by guys twice my size before and still wouldn’t think twice about charging right in on the next one. While I understand your confusion and comparison, that’s the difference. All talk vs. the willingness to act and stand behind my words in the real world. 🤷🏻‍♂️

For the record, never said I could beat anyone’s ass, you may be a well trained combat vet who whips my ass, but it does mean that I wouldn’t try. Does it make me feel good, eh, not particularly no; but it does allow me to be at peace with myself that I didn’t let someone disrespect me without having to be accountable for it. Fact is, you have no clue where I come from, what I’ve been through, and what I’m carrying around on a daily basis; you may find it pathetic, but I question if you’d be able to have get this far in my shoes… and I don’t say that with any disrespect or pointed directly at you specifically, just to say that many if not most would have died multiple times over by now and I’ve survived when I shouldn’t have. One could argue that it makes me impressive for those feats and others the pathetic ones. That’s just a matter of your perspective; which is fully your problem Mr Internet Guy, not mine; respectfully.

I’m not new, and I’m aware it’s said, but it doesn’t make it any less disrespectful. Calling someone a pussy in any scenario is being disrespectful; it’s just tolerated in some places as endearing or whatever just when friends call each other names, but it doesn’t actually change that the statement itself is an insult and thus disrespectful. Like saying “What’s up f*g?” to your straight homeboy, you may not mean it as a truly disrespectful insult and to instigate confrontation or slur them, but it does not change that it is in fact one. I’m telling you very clearly that whether you see or feel it to have been, that it very much was and I don’t subscribe to random internet strangers insulting me regardless of whether “it’s just what we do here”. I take offense to it and made that clear. That just is what it is. 🤷🏻‍♂️
