discourse - reverse racism 

I mean... I guess the simplest explanation is just... Look. It's not the same. The threats aren't the same on both sides.

"Get a thicker skin" is sent to people receiving literal death threats aimed at them based on circumstances of birth
"Don't treat all of us like some of us treat you" is sent to people sending out very general complaints based on lived experiences and behaviors of others.

Like... I'm not sure how else it can be described.

And I want you to look at that carefully!!!! Do you see how I even word the side I don't agree with? How careful I am not to strawman? I make you sound reasonable! I differentiate between "actively harmful" and "unintentionally harmful". That doesn't stop the harm, but I still do recognize the attempt. I do!! But you need to pay more attention. You need to stop making these comparisons. Please.

discourse - reverse racism - explanation 

For those who are wondering what even happened: Mostly it's just people talking loudly, now. Somebody in the fediverse made a few heated remarks about reverse racism/cisexism/etc on their way out of the platform. They have since deleted the messages and even the majority of the toots on their account, far as I can tell.

@BigFatFae sounds like somebody who... would be happier elsewhere.
