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.

Maybe you just look really pathetic to people who have lived in third world countries where this a cool evening temperature

I'm from a climate that's typically 30-35c 70-100% humidity that has single digit days under 20.

26c is a cool evening to me because I'm fairly used to it. Not everyone is me though, and being over the age of 10, I have a thing called "theory of mind." Which is the ability to conceptualise that other people are also people. You should work on that, it's fairly vital.
