this message board is a social circle too. You specifically mentioned the shroomery and that was specifically addressed.

If only there were little images that represented the expressions that correspond to various emotions that you could intersperse throughout your text to convey that information.
A little image of a guy stroking his beard or holding his chin would be really helpful here. I see what you mean.
Damn - that made me laugh. I hate emojis

You are confusing a disagreement with antagonization. Again, to separate who you are from a discussion of social circles is a dishonest and incomplete discussion. The whole point of social circles is based on who you are and judegments.

These are pretty antogonistic statements.

well you are right, one of the whole point of social circles is to create a safe space where you don't need to worry about walking on eggshells and you can kick those out who make the social circle displeasing, such as a church...A church is meant as a safespace and a social circle. In a church you can freely express hatred for gays and not walk around eggshells and be who you are. In my social circle, I can freely bash the idea of religion and conservatism and liberalism and not really suffer any social reprocussions there. So I typically don"t hang out with people that make me walk on eggshells, such as christians or the ultra religious..it is exhausting.

Okay, swap the word identity for sexuality then take the rest of what I said on board. I understand it's more than semantics for you. Everyone gets the same swing at the ball on shroomery though, don't project real world prejudice onto internet forums. We are virtually anonymous, literally. This is part of the reason I love it here.
I have no doubt that you experience prejudice in life. People are assholes. Admittedly I understand better why you would condone violence now, even though I don't.
Sensitivity levels though. Words cannot hurt me is certainly not the motto in recent times. People somehow believe words are real, not just mouthy noises. But they are just noises. Intent is everything.

Yeah, people these days have no concept of "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt." My dad used to tell me that all the time when I was a kid.
I also learned from magic mushrooms that words are basically just sounds with different pitches that have no meaning until us humans put meaning on to them.
But yeah people need to learn to not take things so personally especially on the internet. Everyone acts like a butt hurt little bitch on the internet.

Dads also used to tell their sons to stop crying or else they'd give them something to cry about.
I do understand from personal experience what it is like to have PTSD-flashbacks, but never to the point that it was debilitating- it's just like, I avoid watching certain kinds of TV shows and movies because watching them brings back very disturbing memories that I'd rather not relive. While I personally do not understand what it is like to "need" things like trigger/content warnings to the point of demanding them, or to feel uncomfortable if someone refuses to address you by the pronoun you feel suited to you, or to get truly upset when someone immaturely uses "gay" as an insult, I do not believe that the "suffering" it causes me to use trigger warnings and preferred pronouns and insults other than 'gay' as appropriate is greater than the suffering these individuals experience when whatever it is that is happening to them- PTSD flashbacks or whatever- is happening to them. Hell, maybe I'm wrong. I don't think so, but even if I did, I'd be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Not only is getting all upset because you think other people get upset too easily absurd at face value, it basically means you think you have a monopoly on understanding what sort of things justify getting upset about and what sort do not.

I found this with a quick search and it sounds like a lot of people in this thread should check it out:

Case in point with that thread: it's not as though we don't keep "safe spaces" for people who value the freedom to say incendiary and ignorant bullshit without suffering social, occupational, or legal consequences. Is it too big of an ask that you let other people who value other things more than that have their own spaces?
Some people on the right act as though liberals are making it impossible for them to be racist without consequence or whatever. No, cell phones are making it impossible for them to be racist without consequence in public spaces. It just so turns out that in this democratic society, when a video of you accusing a black man of stealing a car he owns surfaces online, the large majority of people will take offense at your behavior. Some of these people got used to living in their small town bubbles where it seemed like it's normal to be racist and homophobic- everyone else around them acts that way, right? And most of them never travel. So it blows their mind when, after running their mouth around the wrong person at the wrong time, they find themselves getting criticized by this thing called "the rest of the world" on facebook. What is going on out there in that damn rest of the world, they wonder? Must be something fishy. Maybe a deep state conspiracy that just hasn't infiltrated into the rural areas, corrupting the minds of youth through compulsory and college education? Time to switch to Parler.
No, it isn't a conspiracy. Forgive me if I find it hard to sympathize with people just because they're upset they can't publicly get away with being the way they've always been anymore, when the way they've always been is racist, homophobic, and anti women's choice. It's time for them to join the rest of the world. Calling people gay isn't funny anymore, we made better jokes. Sorry we don't think yours is funny. Anyone who decides to pull their head out of their own ass and genuinely try to figure out just why the heck the world seems to be throwing a pissy fit every time you let the n-word slip in public is able to regain social acceptance. Anyone who doesn't will have to just try and stick to their bumpkin little towns for the rest of their lives and be careful to look around for any out of towners before saying anything in public, "since you can never be sure what those snowflake liberals are gonna get offended at next time". Here in America they will always have the freedom to meet for their KKK rallies to swap n-words and jerk off their master race buddies, even if it gets to the point where that's the only place they can get away with it. That's all they need, nobody has a right to ideological representation. If people think your ideas are fucking stupid, they dont have to listen to them.

If this isn't evidence that the sensitivity thread is right on the money, I don't know what is. Sexuality is rarely discussed here but you don't 'feel welcome'?
I was not in this conversation, and I can see what you mean calling the shroomery conservative, but this is a hysterical perspective for an online community. Especially THIS online community.
Nobody gives two shits about sexuality here. You can't say someones feelings are invalid... but your feelings are invalid.
