Ever hear of Cadance Owens?

Doubling down is an interesting way to “attempt to soothe feelings”.

Everything’s got to come to a screeching halt and spawn an ATMB thread in order to be absolutely certain that no white feelings were microaggressed**. People have to insist they knew what I _really_ meant, and that it targeted them personally, rather than grapple with the obvious fact that this kind of over-the-top fragile behavior is one reason _why_ the topic exists in the first place.

If you directed this paragraph, especially the bolded but, at _any other group_, you’d be mod noted for it.
