On SW, is being blocked by someone a rite of passage?

Welcome to SW. 😆

You still need to go through the ritual of being referred to as being:

Sexist
Racist
Left wing
Right wing
Elitist
Redneck
Idiot
Gay
Lesbian
Woman pretending to a man
Man pretending to be a woman
Cisgender
etc...

After that, all that's left is receiving private messages about diapers then you are truly one of us.

It doesn't mean anything. Your life will not change one bit, the world won't be impacted. It's irrelevant.

The first block is shocking because each of us thinks of ourselves as decent people. Yet someone might block you for not liking your avatar or username. lol The list is endless why they block. I wasn't here for months and found out a boatload of people had blocked me. I find it amusing and don't give it a second thought after I block them back.😉

Blocked. Blocking. I couldn't care less. It's silly. You block because you aren't interested in communicating with a person any longer. Fair enough. Plenty more folks here to talk to.

Sometimes it's best to block people and move on if you know you really cannot stand them.
Some people get too worked up over opinions and it triggers them, this is a bit silly.
But it's what it is. Where there are people, there are confusing behaviours.

If you're here as yourself, then yes, you'll get blocked more often...

If you're here for popularity, to emulate others, be "politically correct", etc. you'll still get blocked, just not as often as real people...

I’ve literally been blocked by strangers I honestly think it’s my smutty writings but honestly there is a lot more to me, oh well no sweat off my naughty back.

Blocking isn't an issue
Moaning about it is though

I don't really care, been blocked so many times I am numb! lol 🥴

A lot of people have thin skins here, 😏 if you don't agree with them they'll block you. There are "clicks" here as well, if a person blocks you then all their friends will as well. Some have a hard time thinking for themselves.

Yes, I suppose it is! The only annoying thing is that they block you just before you block them sometimes lol...otherwise, who cares!

I'm sure I'm blocked and I have a few blocked, but I don't think a lot about it.

Wear your badge with immense pride.👍

Basically, yes. You are now truly one of us. 😄

Just move on. Not worth thinking about it.

Must be an alpha male.
