“one of the worst things about becoming educated on social issues is when people are like ‘you used to have a sense of humor’
no i used to have internalized prejudices which i’ve worked really hard to overcome and i realize now that your jokes are shitty”

“Always reblog this because becoming more socially aware makes you dislike a lot of people”
Because it’s a lot easier to educate people you get along with than to antagonize them and hope that they spontaneously come around to a point of view that you just made them associate with being rude. The association doesn’t have to be true to be harmful, as is proven by the fact that they were already bigots to begin with.
Expecting marginalised people to educate bigots is the hight of privilege
You’re telling on yourself if you consider those who stand up to bigots to be the antagonisers.
Fuck off with this tone policing bullshit - it’s nothing but an ex use to avoid accountability
