I'm pretty sure you're genuine, and if that is the case, I hope you will be able to figure out why you were lumped in with the rest, and hope it doesn't happen again because you learn the lesson
Also, I will definitely admit that I was very annoyed and could have been nicer about it,and on the off chance you're actually genuine hey sorry. But that's not the important thing, 'being nicer about it' is a personal decision not a moral necessity. The "it" we're being "nicer" about is often something horrifying, like when people got upset at Aaron Bushnell for his self immolation, who were more upset about THAT than they are about what's happening to innocent bystanders in Palestine. No one is required to put up with someone's bullshit just for the purpose of helping them learn and grow. Its good to do in the few times when that is possible...
but here?
on the internet? Its 1/1000 interactions where that's possible, and 1/2 of the time we're dealing with actual nazis and people who support and encourage systems that target us for extermination, us being any marginalized identities, which hexbear mostly is in one way or another, not just because we're leftists, but also most are trans and/or queer and/or poc and/or neurodivergent etc etc. We have been around for years and over those years, have grown to recognize civility bullshit for what it always was. And recognize what it means when people are upset about criticism of privileged behavior that demonstrate the contradictions inherent to our current system. To see that an not react harshly against it is no different than contributing to it yourself
To hear incorrect views without rebutting them and, but instead to take them calmly as if nothing had happened.
That's why many people in this thread reacted negatively to the comments we did. Clear enough?
Someone is telling you there are issues with your posts, you then went looking at your own posts and saying to yourself "no, the rest of these are fine"
Do you not see the issue here?
You didn't know any of them were not fine in the first place, that's why you posted them, because you were ignorant about the context and implications
Not an insult, ignorant means you were unaware. Continuing in ignorance after it's been pointed out, however...
That's some dumbass shit right there
To reiterate: it is almost unbelievible to me that someone could see this situation and genuinely be clueless as to why it matters that the asshole in the post is an old white man.
That and the fact that hours later you still seem not to grasp why that stance was treated with such hostility, is why we're treating you with even more hostility
Because you're either a lost cause
or
you know exactly what you're doing and you're doing it on purpose
From my perspective, it actually served to do the opposite. I understand that you're posting in good faith, but it is, especially at first, indistinguishable from the kinds I was describing
Yeah, any of them still confused shout take a step back, read over the thread again and reflect, it's all there if they stop and think about it, hopefully at least one will, but the rest will continue to be very funny
