Dehumanizing

Actively. That is what you are doing.
Hym "Not actually reposting the things I said. You're stealing the credit for the good things I've said and attributing only the bad things to me. You're actively dehumanizing me. That is all. And you don't care what I did. You don't care what I said. This website is evidence that small dick bigotry and dehumanization is par for the course here. You are breeder dictatorship and you are actively bad people. You are actively worse than the incels you dehumanize. The men are retards and the women are fucking retards... Explicitly because their cock is fat... And getting the shit beat out of themselves... You don't like that I said this... But you are a piece of shit. That is why you are doing this. I assaulted your source of validation so you are stealing and obstructing mine."
