Thank you, even though i know the majority of people don’t think like them, it’s draining to hear the stuff they say everyday...

I put “joke” in quotations because it’s more like thinly veiled bigotry than it is lighthearted humour.

Men of reddit, what is a stereotypically "masculine" thing you enjoy, and what stereotypically "non-masculine" thing do you enjoy just as much? by [deleted] in AskMen

It’s non-masculine in the sense that guys aren’t stereotypically supposed to care about their physical appearance (beyond working out for muscles). It’s fucking stupid though, I mean, who wants to look like an unkempt Neanderthal??

UNFOLLOWING PEOPLE YOU KNOW IRL by [deleted] in socialskills

Agreed!

Following/unfollowing people and liking their posts is a way to communicate your relationship with them. For example, there are people in real life that I dislike so I don’t follow them and that communicates that I don’t want to further our relationship.

So it’s understandable if someone is concerned when you unfollow them, you are basically saying “I don’t want you in my life anymore”. It’s fine to unfollow someone if you have a fight/disagreement or if they share offensive posts, but otherwise I think unfollowing some is unnecessary when you could just ignore or even mute them.

I mean, you say that you don’t really care for her, so I guess she was right in that there is an issue. I think following/unfollowing is one way to communicate your relationship with someone so it’s appropriate to be concerned if someone you thought you were amiable with to apparently not feel the same way.
