You might be correct but it still stands that nothing is added to the discourse by just telling people to grow a thick skin. It's a repulsive attitude and I had to call that out.



> It's a repulsive attitude

It's actionable constructive advice.


I think the "repulsive attitude" I'm referring to is shouting "Just grow a thick skin!" to someone who is saying that they're suffering from abuse. In some cases, the suffering is so acute and so deep ("bullets") that it's not necessarily actionable on the part of the person suffering; rather, it's a call for help that others may respond to.
