    That’s probably because you criticized their behavior (in a rather provocative way), which is often perceived as hostile and leads to downvotes.

      I’m autistic so pardon my ignorance but when did I criticize anyone? I literally said An thats why I support anti speciesism. and llinked an article and quoted it. You know, the thing that therapists show you: lead by example, send “me” messages as in say what you (would) do instead of criticizing the behavior of someone else. I’m genuinely baffled. Can you elaborate?

        People often react badly when you show them a mirror to their own hypocrisy. It causes a psychological disturbance called cognitive dissonance.

        Please keep doing it.

          Ok… thanks, I guess. :) I didnt recognize i did it. Did I mention I was beaten up in school a lot. The reason was mostly this but I dont get it. If you tell me my opinion is trash I usually check if I went wrong, no harm in that.

          Anyway, have a nice day or night.
