this is just my longhanded way of saying, ‘i sympathize.’ also, ‘fuck that shit.’
my girlfriend and I were just talking about how we get super wary once someone gets argumentative when called out for problematic language. usually because that argument ends up in a place where they are getting self-righteous about not wanting to be censored. like forreals, if your main concern is over feeling personally censored and not the fact that you may be perpetuating another’s oppression and/or critical disinformation, we need either need to start having some deeper conversations or you need to check your shit and go.
I cannot stand it when people get called out on saying ableist etc. shit, and rather than take advice they keep. talking. shit.
Shut the fuck up, take the advice, and move on. Everyone gets called out eventually. Make it a learning experience instead of continuing to act like a piece of shit. Listen to what they say. You will never understand what those people deal with on a daily basis.
Unfollowed. Not because you fucked up, but because you keep being a piece of shit about it.
