@MossGrowsOnNormanRuins consider the possibility that standing up for yourself doesn't actually require telling people to kill themselves, or being cruel and wanton in any capacity at all really

@MossGrowsOnNormanRuins you don't have to be a cannon that strikes others down, you can just be a tower that others can't knock down

@patchuun @MossGrowsOnNormanRuins if were talking about a coherent metaphorical scheme then wouldnt it be a tower and a catapult? or a cannon and a ship?

@georgia @MossGrowsOnNormanRuins maybe. idk. I guess it's a bit half baked but I hope it got my point across sufficiently well all the same

@MossGrowsOnNormanRuins I get it, but, it's not like what you're communicating when you say "kill yourself" is that you actually want them to kill themself, is it? Like, what you want isn't actually for harm to befall them, but for them to cease whatever behavior is harming you or whomever or whatever else you're standing up for. Or even simply to assert that you're unshaken in your resolve on the issue at hand. Unkindness isn't mandatory to communicate any of these things
