    Well mine was a tongue in cheek comment too, and I thought quite friendly and fun, and then you decided to call me prejudiced. The main point I was picking up on was mindless internet scrolling which is something I do when I’m unhealthily managing my boredom, it’s a warning sign for me, maybe it’s not for you, but I thought I would share my perspective, as I did in a non-judgemental way. Masturbation is perfectly fine, it can be healthy, it can be not, when combined with mindless internet scrolling it didn’t sound healthy to me but that’s just me. I don’t get fishing either but I wouldn’t judge someone for it, just like I didn’t judge you, but you responded like I did judge you, it’s like we’re on Reddit or something.

          I don’t think they were calling you “prejudiced” as it were, they were just outlining that judging whether something counts as a “real” hobby or just succumbing to boredom is flavoured a bit by our own views and opinions :)

            But they did, I made a friendly comment, I was even self-deprecating about it, mostly to be funny, and they accused me of having prejudices. I don’t take well to being called prejudiced, I’m not and hate people who are. Then they randomly brought up racism, that was a weird exchange.

              I totally see that your comment was friendly and there wasn’t any ill will, and I can definitely understand reading their comment as a bit accusatory - but the word “prejudice” isn’t the same as how I think we’re viewing being “prejudiced”. Sort of like if they said it was your opinion, that would feel different to calling you opinionated, you know?

              I don’t think they were intending to be hostile, is all I’m saying. I think it’s just a case of crossed wires tbh - but I hope you’re well and have a good day! ✌️
