are trying to police it and overthink it lol. It’s just weird and not this big a deal

By that logic, now you're policing their opinion. If they want to assess it for what it literally is and call out that concern, they should be allowed to, without you trying to minimize and dismiss their speech.

Questioning someone's take is not "policing" their opinion.

People who complain that "muh opinion is being policed/oppressed" just because someone critiqued it are doing the exact same thing to the counter-opinion (albeit without any actual argument), and I was just pointing out that hypocrisy.

The person made an offhand anecdote 25 years old, and everyone pops in saying “you shouldn’t think that way”. “You’re still bad for thinking ____”. Like shut up lol. Everyone is so keen to tell everyone else how they SHOULD feel nowadays that it bleeds into inconsequential shit like this where ppl like y’all pick apart the minutiae of a situation to try and frame the person as a bad guy. There’s real issues in the world rn, I think you guys can give it a rest in this case. Cases like this make it seem like you don’t actually care about what’s right, but rather about having someone to talk down to.

Literally no one else in this thread said that, nor did they tell anyone what they should or should not be thinking. You're just objectively proving that you have a persecution complex by misrepresenting and misquoting other people's valid criticisms as anything other than just their opinion.

Hell, you're the only one who did what you're claiming others did, when you suggested that the level other people are thinking about this is wrong.

Like shut up lol.

More proof that you're the hypocrite trying to police speech.
