    So do people just not understand that temperature tolerance is a limited thing based on your climate and any deviations can feel significant?

      No, they do not, and most of them aren’t willing to understand, either.

      People, or at least NT people, with higher temperature tolerance are almost always assholes about it - I have weird heat sensitivity, I suspect on account of my Autism, and I only stopped getting constant shit for it once I basically entirely stopped talking to NTs.

      The people in this thread are just seizing on an excuse to shit on people they perceive as weaker, or an excuse to shit on the English as if they are actually inherently evil just by existing. Or both.

        It’s an byproduct of this site’s podcast fandom origin. Some people don’t understand that Chapo’s “bullying is cool” bit is comedic irony aimed at wealthy journalists and politicians on twitter who never actually experience bullying and just have no context for seeing negative feedback to their broadly unpopular opinions.

        It’s also just common regional chauvinism. The same people here who say stuff like “just open a window dipshit, it’s worse where I live and I think it’s comfortable!” will go on to lament the seriousness of climate change elsewhere, then go right on to another post about low temperatures in winter and comment something like “just put on a sweater dipshit, it’s worse where I live and I think it’s comfortable!”

          Yeah. The worst is how they always double down when confronted. It’s the same shit libs do when confronted on their bigotries.

        Ableism is, unfortunately, extremely common on hexbear.

        I think that the shitting on the British is just overcompensation for having been really into Doctor Who and Sherlock in their Tumblr phase. I’m Australian, so I do love to insult the British, but people just overdo it.
