I genuinely get annoyed whenever people talk about women or LGBT or another protected group, then the commenter in question recites the preemptive classic “To be clear, I don’t hate- [insert group]” as a defense mechanism.
That’s really indicative as to how hostile, how toxic the culture is or just reeks of a horrible atmosphere.
We live in a world where certain groups are associated with being oppressed when ironically they have the tightest grip on everyone’s ball-sack (in a corporate/political sense).
A privilege so normalized we don’t even see the irony that people have to put up defenses before saying ANYTHING just to curb a groups wrath, but if a Gov. does the exact same thing that’s called “oppression”, a protected group enjoys that privilege, we don’t call it anything, that’s just normal that they enjoy the same social pull as a mafia family whenever the group’s name is in someone’s mouth.
Funny how that works.
Those are the kind of rules of engagement you have to abide by when you live in a 3rd World country and the slightest utter of heresy gets you dragged out of your house and punished Ie. “canceled”.
This is the same exact energy, except you could lose your livelihood, platform, etc.
So basically certain aspects of America’s modern social climate resembles a 3rd world prototype. And we’re okay with that.
“Inclusive“, “tolerant“ indeed, bullshit.
It wouldn't be annoying for someone to just clarify their intentions to be nice or a decent person, but everyone is doing it on reflex out of legit concern for their online career, "fear". Which has nothing to do with a friendly clarification vs rules of engagement people feel they have to do just to survive in their social economy.
That reeks of 1984 energy.
Speak in Newspeak or go missing type of shit, in this case, canceled, fired, banned, gone, erased. Punished.
As far as social climates go, that’s unhealthy and inefficient.
