understandable ngl...

but maybe not that many ppl mind being asked, and some of us can make it more plausible/reasonable to ask by being nice to begin with c:

how ppl respond is ultimately up to them but i would love to believe in a chance of ppl being sweet to each other, although it may appear cringe

being genuinely sweet is not cringe, what is cringe is faking it to accomodate the other part, even though it hurts you/its not genuine.

most people are not "inviting" for good reasons, if you're cool enough they'll break down eventually and be sweet, if you guys dont match they'll just keep treating you as a stranger, because thats what you are for them.

granted, we would need to presume that a specific gesture of sweetness is insincere and damaging, or presume that some kind of accommodation necessarily exists when someone is nice, or presume that accommodation of any sort is necessarily cringe... although i wonder what we're defining as accommodation-- can we define it as making people comfortable because we want people to be comfortable, or would it be considered as intrinsically being a universally self-serving platitude?

it's not so much a demand of any sort that anyone be "inviting", since i don't imagine offdensen was being even remotely serious given how "this is who you're being mean to" is a commonly-phrased meme. additionally, i think it could be fair for me to interpret myself as barely suggesting anything beyond possibility ("maybe not that many" + "some of us can" + "more plausible")... after all, i can't exactly speak to anyone in particular, so i can only speak for my own interest in hoping to be simultaneously sincere and sweet when possible/proportionate, depending on the person and the tone of the conversation and what might be appreciably signaled between us

and ultimately, if im understanding you correctly, i think i agree with you: not everyone will universally be willing to let down their guard and soften up to anyone-- which is for many reasons, including the probability that maybe someone isn't really generally that "soft" to begin with, or maybe it's that this unguarded softness is more selective and well-conserved for whenever that person believes someone is worth being given that investment in time and care... this isn't quite my premise, though

i'm primarily responding to what i loosely interpreted from the tone i believed winny's comment could have carried, in case it were true-- an ambiguous mixture of what could easily be distanced comedy and maybe some possible contempt

...and although that's possible in my mind, i prefer to lead with "understandable", specifically to validate and genuinely sympathize with the likelihood that off-topic is not really necessarily the target demographic to ask for niceness, but i address that with "but maybe not that many people mind being asked" and onward in order to at least suggest the possibility that off-topic can be relatively more nice, while not necessarily being obligatory about it

i then suggest an ideal for sweetness, which is not one that i expect to happen nor is it an ideal that i would decisively persuade someone to adopt, while acknowledging that this is because many people are already likely to be comfortable the way they are and will make independent decisions apart from each other-- im stating that this is my own decision i would like to exemplify for myself or anyone who might share that ideal

tl;dr i would imagine we are mostly in agreement

ah,, ok thats fair

in that case the light-hearted tone of rest of the thread is sorta the context for why i responded at all, since winny's message seemed to contrast with everything

also i could literally be incredibly wrong about what winny meant and it could have meant literally nothing to winny, however i responded specifically because it can mean something to someone else. i figured that maybe it would be fair to at least give some kind of response of my own to both validate/sympathize and counterbalance/rebut it in case it was what i thought it was
