honestly the word microagression is like
so like, my brother used to be really against the phrase trigger warning, in a very like 4 chan kind of way (well actually he was on 8chan but thats. neither here nor there) and then one day i stopped him and i took 45 seconds to explain what a trigger warning actually is and he was like Oh… well that sounds like a good thing……  and I feel like the same thing happens to micro aggression a lot where it’s like. People react to what they think it means based on vibes and have this rly bad reaction bc like. theyre like oh it was a microaggression? youre mad at a paper cut? youre mad someone didnt say thank you? like they assume its the same as like. being passive aggressive. or whatever. rather than understanding it as what it is which is. you know. the constant sandpapering of daily life as a marginalized person
