1. When you are always saying this (factually correct)

2. When this is actually the opposite of what you're always saying (it's satire)

3. When you have never said this before in your life (how would they know!!)

4. When no one else in the world has ever said this and everyone knows that (very funny)

why is that? if it was just a matter of report inundation, of them being swamped and not getting around to it, then why are reports against transfems seemingly immune to those delays?

do not taste plants if you don't know what they are

do not identify a fruit as edible just because it tastes sweet

hope you didn't eat any fucking seeds, bro

I saw the photo in my feed and went ohh, dude, no, we do not handle yellow rocks with our bare hands until we know for sure what they are. And I know that orange...

In comments, they continue:

and that's where I started cussing at the computer monitor. But someone else had got there first:

you need include us too : you need include childish autistic person , you need include nonverbal autistic person , you need include autistic person who drool , you need include autistic people with intellectual disability , you need include autistic person with loud messy public meltdowns .

@meraxes-of-new-albion peer reviewing your tags because yeah you get it.

I think part of the problem is also that people hear 'WWII history knowledge' and immediately associate it with the 'worshipping-the-death-machine-advancements' branch of irritating history buffs, but if you write off all WWII history like that, you'll miss things like how Fascism smooths over power hierarchy disagreements by constantly pushing the 'remember, it's us against them' line. You'll miss resistance stories of Dutch schoolgirls luring Nazis into the woods to a waiting anti-fascist with a gun or of Norwegian freedom fighters sabotaging the Nazi nuclear programme or of Allied planes that survived direct hits to the fuel tank because Czech slaves made empty shells with no explosives inside. You'll write off the ghastly things done in concentration camps as horror stories from another time and not recognise them as Real Things done to Real People that were justified on the grounds of pure vitriolic hatred and allowed to continue by others' sheer apathy. And you will not know how to recognise it when it begins building momentum in your own country.

The Fascists want you to be apathetic. They want you to shut off your ears and look the other way. They want you to be so removed from the idea of Fascism beyond a red swastika armband on a 1940s soldier that they can roll out their hateful regime stealthily while you only protest the flashy meant-to-be-offensive parts.

You will find yourselves taking sides in fights between Goebbels and Göring. And then you will remember "oh, right, you might be human, but you're also fucking evil".
