Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

"Is this the hill you want to die on?" Sounds a lot like a threat to me. But whether is was or not, you do seem awfully invested in being intimidating. I question that as an effective mode of communication.

Are you serious rn? It's an extremely common phrase. It's not ~intimidating~.

It certainly is a common phrase. But it's meaning depends on who uses it and how, just as all language does.

In any case, you didn't answer my question. Why are you so invested in intimidating others? I'm not talking about the hill, now.

It's not a threat. It's a common idiomatic phrase. Are you ESL?

In case you are, "the hill you want to die on," means a single issue that you're willing to expend a disproportionate amount of time/energy/etc defending. If someone asks "is this really the hill you want to die on?" they're not threatening you, they're suggesting that you're acting very entrenched over something that's pretty minor and unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

In that case, I'd say that you meet the criteria yourself.
