Now, now, this isn’t accurate - there’s plenty of blame to spare for Karens too.
Do you have an alternate term you would approve of?
Do you?
I understand why I’m here: I think a lot of the folks here are interesting, and I have good conversations here. But given your petulant dislike of most of us, why on earth do you keep coming back? Since January, every single one of your posts on the board has been, in some form, fussing about this community. Does this intermittent scolding of folks whom you don’t like (and who don’t much care for your persistent transphobic posts) really give you that much joy? Or are you having trouble quitting us?
You posted this, so I don’t think it unreasonable to ask you for an alternate term…unless your proposal is that we not refer to people that overreact in that manner at all.
If I say “bitch” is misogynist, bigoted and hurtful, I do not have to come up with an alternate term.
No alternate term is needed by me. I have got thru life quite nicely without using that term. Why do you need it so badly?
I never said I did-bad assumption on your part, it would seem. I merely asked if you had a preferred term for the seemingly increasing number of people that are overreacting to anything that disturbs their sense of self-entitlement/self-importance. I am open to suggestions.
If there’s anything we should learn from intersectionality, it’s that no, your identity as a marginalized person on Axis A doesn’t mean you don’t need to examine your own behaviors. I’m genderqueer, and psychiatrically labeled, but I’m also male, white, English-speaking, decently well-educated, fluent in the behaviors and speech nuances of the upper middle professional class, and able-bodied. I could be participating in anyone’s oppression. Yours, for instance.
It’s not about blaming white men for everything.
It’s neither misogynist nor bigoted. Because “bigotry” in direct response to bigots isn’t a thing, and it’s a response to hateful things the women have done, not merely because they’re women. Also I’m happy to concede you can get some male Karens, too.
Sure, it’s hurtful. Is your contention that hateful bullies should be shielded from hurt from the response to their hatred, themselves?
Maybe I don’t fit into whatever neat box you had for me, guy.
It’s almost as if calling people out for what they do is different from calling people out for what they are.
I have an alternative, but this is not the forum in which to post it.
This has been heading out of ATMB territory and towards Pit territory for some time now. I think we’re done here.
If you want to take pot-shots at each other, do so in the Pit.
