You don't have to empathize with un-persons, but I don't think its fair for you to invalidate my experiences and feelings empathizing with un-persons myself. You see, you might not realize this but behind every computer screen is a real human being, someone with real thoughts and real emotions, and although we may rightfully despise those human beings with equal parts venom and vigor, and commit our attention to loathing them as much as we can, I think we shouldn't shut down other people for wanting to be friends. Because after all, friendship is magic.(10-27-2022, 08:50 PM)poop MANIAC(fecal frenzy!!!!!!!!

I think you're having a critical failure to empathize, and that's okay. What's not okay is invalidating someone's experiences based on your own preconceived notions. I don't think you're approaching this from a very healthy light, but I appreciate that you took the time to engage and make your voice heard. Thank you.(10-27-2022, 08:40 PM)poop MANIAC(fecal frenzy!!!!!!!!

While we can all agree it is of vital importance to protect the safety of marginalized people in our community from hate speech and other sorts of wrong words or thought patterns, I am suggesting we not only make a more solid commitment to transparency but also positive thinking. I think you are being terribly reductive and choosing not to understand the core of the issue. That is just my opinion though.
making the community a safe and comfortable space for people who are actually marginalized will always be more important than babying the poor bigots
