Abelard was, in brief, a monk with a crush who believed his feelings would send him to hell. Never acted on them, past a certain point, but castrated himself because of his “sins.” He obsessed about nonexistent sleights of his and others until it made him extremely mentally ill. And a cornerstone of modern philosophy. His letters are an interesting read, and public domain translations are available.

Social dominance theory is very real but severely overextrapolated here. Fundamentally, it’s a group dynamic that doesn’t apply to a website hosting a largely young, neurodivergent crowd where the only rule is “don’t be mean.” Your comment, in the 4chan community, reads like a call to action so it was taken poorly. Especially given that this greentext was, with nearly 100% likelihood, written specifically to further radicalize disaffected kids.
