What do you typically assume when someone you don’t know is accusing someone else you don’t know of inflammatory things such as racism, homophobia, and anything else that’s deemed repulsive?

Everyone is an unreliable narrator. And when people start making claims like that I believe them less.

Odd that you’d immediately discredit them

They automatically discredit themselves by not being credible. If you’re just giving the most vague inflammatory labels which are driven by emotion, why would that convince me you’re being accurate?

Yeah if people gave like concrete examples then sure but if they cannot then they don’t have enough information to be making these claims

My issue is how do you discern what’s rooted in truth vs fabricated to push that conclusion without real evidence to support that specific claim, things can very easily be taken out of context

Exactly. Too many people cry wolf; and maybe something is there, but often it’s not a wolf.

“They automatically discredit themselves by not being credible” what the hell does that even mean. And why say that it’s driven by emotion? If someone says some racist shit to you then you’re understandably going to be mad

If you’re saying that they’re understandably going to be mad, why are you confused that I said it’s driven by emotion? You asked me a question then answered it yourself.

You’re acting like its a bad thing or that its not credible if its driven by emotion. When in reality it just makes sense for someone who was treated like shit to be mad and tell people someone treated them like shit

It also makes sense that emotions introduce biases and interferes with rationality and accuracy. There are plenty of studies which have come to this conclusion which should be pretty obvious to everyone, since everyone experiences it. Why does it upset you that I say inflammatory, emotionally-biased broad labels aren’t enough to convince me of accuracy?

You are doing mental gymnastics to do anything to discredit someone upset about experiencing racism or homophobia from someone lmfao. Sounds like you’ve been accused before, or scared that you might be

If basic logic is mental gymnastics to you, good luck out there. How old are you and you don’t understand emotional bias is a thing?

There’s a difference between emotional bias and someone being correct AND emotional. Sometimes people are racist. That’s not exactly rocket science?? Like. It’s something I see, just out and about??? Some people are racist man idk what to tell you

The existence of racism doesn’t mean every accusation of racism, or whatever, is accurate. The fact that you can’t even wrap your minds around this basic logic is even more of a reason to not blindly trust people as being accurate. You’re genuinely arguing with me about why I don’t automatically take people’s accusations as 100% accurate fact when they give no information except inflammatory labels. What a world

No one said you should automatically believe them. I commented that its weird that you would automatically believe them less just because they made an accusation. Because it is weird, and it doesn’t make sense based on your own logic. You are so odd and i assume probably have done some things to people that you could later be accused of. Idk why else you’d try so hard to immediately discredit made up people in a made up scenario

“You acknowledge emotional bias??? People expressing their bias makes you believe them less than if they weren’t expressing bias??? Wow how weird. You must have done some things to people”. I’ve literally never seen someone struggle to understand somethhing as simple as bias. Seriously, good luck out there.
