I have, loads of times. I've just never decided to base my views on an entire species off of a handful of experiences with individuals because I realize that not all beings are cast of the same mold even when sharing some superficial commonality.

Was it creepy they named you –
or something worse?

[lightmagic]

Your assumption that it must have happened to me to facilitate my views says more about you than about me, I think.

[seidhr]

Anyone might assume personal experience were to blame;
it is, after all, the leading cause of obnoxious virtue.

[lightmagic]

As does that response.

[seidhr]

And?

[fullmoon]

Try answering in broad & offensive generalisations. Everyone seems to understand those.

[lightmagic]

They truly are the order of the day, aren't they?

[fullmoon]

Maybe we should go around asking people what personal experiences that caused their obnoxious lack of empathy.

[lightmagic]

We could take a poll!

[fullmoon]

It would have to be an open-ended question or else we'd be inundated with explanations of how everyone does not, in fact, fit into our set of stereotypes.

[lightmagic]

Of course. We must protect our ideas on stereotypes, after all.
