Sparks another discussion too of what is reacting badly? Is trolling a troll or getting upset or in a debate actually bad or dies it just not fit what's comfortable to our social.ststus quo? #realquestions

Here's an interesting series on debate or how people react in certain situations (and yes, it's about 12 Angry Men, which we all are frankly):

I'd say any response that reads to me like you're giving the trolls opinions actual weight

Trolling them back I usually don't care about, just make sure it's funny or you look like a dork

We've discussed this already Blaze, I'm a well-known hypocrite. In my current state, I'd probably say something. Plus you guys harass me a lot as is whenever I voice an opinion.

Then let’s let him do what we would do. Like, to me this seems more of a you dislike him type of deal so it’s why you feel how you do. Maybe you think the ones doing it to him are wrong also, and sorry I said that you wasn’t. But like come on man, we have no idea how bad his mentions is, and the stuff he isn’t replying to or people he isn’t replying to. We also have no idea what his state of mind could be today. I know when I’m in a meh mood I’ll reply to stuff I normally wouldn’t. We’re all humans and all of us react to things in different ways.

So if you had alot of people harassing you, you wouldn’t do anything about it? Or since you’re some normal bloke is it okay to defend yourself? Why should you lose that right when you become famous or well known? They are people like you or me. They deserve the same rights.

Again from my perspective, there's a time and a place and this was one that didn't deserve any sort of reply. No sane person thinks he's a fucking pedo.

I see you setting yourself up to be able to defend someone you like in the future with “this was the right time and place to do this.” Smart.

So basically it has to entertain you. I think that's point im trying to shed light on. Did he react badly or just not in a way that entertained ppl n therefore its bad

Yeah, responding in ways that takes trolls opinions seriously will never entertain me so sure?

 

[Chris]

It really is victim blaming to a degree. Just dont react. Ig it's women's fault when they get mad at cat calling too . Obviously different impacts but both are trying to demean a person. Kenny's reaction us obviously bad but he's obviously been upset and hurt by this shit so ya, weird to not want to act with kindness towards the person getting constantly called a pedo. I'll die on that hill lol

You even say the reaction was bad here yourself lol did you change your mind or was it bc you weren't entertained either

 

[Dale]

Not at all. I have zero feelings for Omega either way and would have said the exact same about someone I liked who thinks they need to defend themselves from a nobody calling them a pedo...

 

[Cwalker]

What’s the phrase?

If it don’t apply, let it fly…

If you’re Kenny Omega, there’s no way some nobody with 100 followers should get under your skin. Especially about a claim that ridiculous

 

[Brandon Blaze]

Not at all. I have zero feelings for Omega either way and would have said the exact same about someone I liked who thinks they need to defend themselves from a nobody calling them a pedo...

Then can I ask what would be the right time in your eyes? When is it okay to defend yourself? When isn’t it? Like I just don’t understand why someone should be quiet if being harassed. Maybe I see it differently as I understand how sometimes a bad day can make you reply to shit, and you just don’t understand that feeling. Maybe you do tho who knows. As I’ve said before, we’re all human and we all handle things differently. To think everyone should handle everything the same as you is quite silly.

 

[Jimmy King]

I do think leaving it alone is the best option in this scenario, but I also get why Kenny would feel the need to defend himself even though it’s a bizarre accusation in the first place that has no real cemented truth behind it.

 

[Chris]

I'd be a hypocrite if I acted like I ignored every dumb comment too lol its okay to respond emotionally sometimes, the point is he doesn't need to. I don't think any less of Omega for doing it

See putting it this way is a reasonable take. Yeah he doesn’t need to and I agree 100%. But sometimes emotions can get the best of you and you get into these little spats. We shouldn’t expect anyone to just take it over and over agaib. Despite how dumb what they are saying might be
