      Though i understand sentiments behind your statement but “sweetheart” really made you sound like a dick

        the inclusion of the word sweetheart here, and the dickish way it came off, was intentional parody of the way liberals condescend to and infantilize people they disagree with when they lecture to them, usually while on some level saying something evil or dismissive of blatant suffering

        often the word “sweaty” is used instead of sweetie or sweetheart to really drive the point home

        We tend to assume good faith on hexbear so we don’t really notice accidental weird wordings like that :P

        They are imitating the libs that love and defend cops, they’re supposed to sound like a dick.
