privated my last post bc it was a misunderstanding. also regardless of who i am talking to on here, please don’t send anyone hate, death threats, gore, etc. i don’t condone any of that. the last thing we should do while discussing whether something is unhealthy or not is dismiss people’s mental health here

i see a lot of people say “listen to x group” about issues that affect them in specific ways, and that’s an important starting point but it’s not the finish line. we’re talking about entire groups of individuals who hold different views. the person opposing you is listening to a member of that group who feels differently than the one you’re talking to. so yes, listen to people about issues that affect them exclusively or uniquely. but be able to think for yourself and confront the nuanced views of varied groups. there are no easy answers, and the person you’re referencing could easily be wrong. first thought that comes to mind in this case: black people who don’t believe in cultural appropriation. csa survivors who support the public spread of content that is used to groom minors. women who think misogyny is permissible if they aren’t the target. etc

I woke up laughing bc my first thought was @nintendogamegirl saying “I’m thicc” 500 times lmao
