[orange, wielding a gun, shoots at green] DIE!

[green is pouring blood from the chest, falling to the floor] Gasp! You shot me!

[blue, shrugging] As a neutral onlooker, I saw green insult orange before orange shot green, so I guess they're both equally at fault here

[green, laying in a pool of their own blood, is extremely confused]

It's actually incredibly shocking how many people online seem to actually think that violence is a justifiable response to insults or "disrespect," and it seems like it's shifting even more aggressively in that direction every year. I honestly can't think of many things less worthy of respect, or more pathetic than escalating a situation beyond words because you got your feelings hurt or you got out in your place. If you don't like feeling that way then maybe take it as a lesson.
