Is covid-liberalism a bannable offense in c/covid?

I’m getting really fucking weary of seeing sentiments like, “being upset about someone scheduling a non-emergency dental appointment in the middle of the second largest covid wave is deranged” or “you’re a selfish asshole for expecting your loved ones to do the bare fucking minimum to protect you” in discussions on masking or vaccine uptake

I know I’m not the only one disappointed in the growing anomie. Maybe we should operate more like c/vegan where everything from omnivore apologia to overt antiveganism (analogous to the above anti-precaution/anti-max/anti-vax-apologia) is forbidden, and posting/commenting as much gets you a ban?

    OP of that post was also not actually blaming his partner, it was a vent post, a way to air frustrations that are not worth or appropriate to do more than that for. It is extremely silly to frame it this way, like he sat down and ran the numbers and its all his partners fault, thats not the kind of post it was

      I mean I read the following

      She’s also sorry, and I say it’s fine because I want her to feel better and recover, but secretly I’m fucking raging.

      As raging at her. That’s what it seems to convey to me. If not, then yeah, disregard me.

        I am fairly sure that its more along the lines of “fucking raging” at the 7th red light in a row on your 40 minute commute when you just want to be home after a double shift

        Not like baying for blood, but like, GAAHH. I imagine the person who wrote that post spent exactly as long thinking of what words to use there as they took to type them out, it wasn’t an effort post

        I could also be wrong, but this is hexbear and we’re supposed to assume good faith, especially in the context of an emotional vent post

          Literally thank you. I thought of putting an edit under the post, but we’re all grown ups. I just needed a space to unload my feelings when unloading on my partner wasn’t helpful.
