Lemmy news is a cesspit from a post POV but other than that shrug
I think there are more straight shooters here, could be dude just had bad takes.
It is too easy to accidentally downvote.
Straight shooters is a wiggle word to say asshole who doesn't care about others feelings.
why do you say that?
Because it is? The term used to mean someone who is honest and upfront about things but toxic assholes co-opted the term as a way to excuse bad behavior.
It's used infrequently enough that it's not as obvious, but it's a huge red flag for someone to say "I'm a straight shooter".
