While I get the point this is trying to make there is a great deal of dysfunction in most of the ways we fight for causes, so we do kinda need to be able to examine our approaches and behavior critically 😅
Yeah, assuming everyone with criticism Hates You and Your Cause is not very productive.
If I could force every online person to understand one fact, it’s this. Goddamn we need to understand that…
Completely agree. I’ve argued with people about the ways they’re trying to advocate for causes that i very much care about. If you’re advocating for a cause I care about in a way that actually hurts our cause instead of helps it, then you for damn sure are rightfully gonna hear it from me
I’m sure that’s how a lot of vegans online think about me but it’s actually not true. I support the cause, but not the crazy shaming that happens online about it. Actually had to block a few people over that issue. The last person was practically foaming at the mouth and making loads of assumptions. They fucking hated me for basically nothing. Someone telling people like that their approach is bad shouldn’t be viewed in a negative light. That’s absolutely the thing they need to be told.
There are a lot of people who flock to social justice issues not because they give a shit about the issue, but they want to feel like they are morally superior to others for being on the right side of that issue. When somebody melts down at constructive criticism like that, it signals to me that they are the latter category and can be safely ignored. You cant make people grow up on the internet, best you can do is block them so you don’t have to hear their tantrum
Literally velma.
