At what point do we draw the line? If I ask you a question and you don’t want to talk about it you have every right to refuse to answer, but I think it’s okay to ask.
I mean, if someone asks a polite question, the other person can just as politely say “I’d rather not talk about that”, and then everyone goes along with their day
I mean, someone can just go on YT and find the answer from someone happily discussing it. That way if the person was going to be upset by being asked they wouldn’t, and you found your information. And then everyone goes along with their day.
It’s really the best of both worlds, I don’t see how there is such strong pushback to such basic respect.
I would find it less respectful for someone to assume things about me based on what they see on social media. If their question is polite and born out of genuine curiosity, and they don’t react poorly to hearing “I don’t want to talk about that right now”, I would much rather someone ask me a question directly.
I honestly find it a little baffling to think that we should try to avoid talking to people that are different than us and learning about their experiences, in the name of “respect”.
I think the biggest issue is that you’ve assumed everyone is the same and wants to be treated the same.
The world isn’t black and white. People are telling you their personal preferences and you’re telling them that they’re wrong.
You’re fighting other people’s battles for them even when they’re telling you that they’d prefer you not to - you’re literally acting like the guy in the last panel.
If there’s anything that we’ve learned over the last horrible year it’s that getting all of your information off social media is a recipe for disaster.

Do you randomly bother strangers with deep, possibly upsetting:triggering questions?
That’s the line. Treat them like anyone else you see on the street.
By that logic this comic is wrong.

WWWWW, the same YouTube destroying public knowledge with slop. The same YouTube enabling nazis. The same Youtube caught predating on children.
Just tell people to kill themselves, far easier and precise.
