Man reading the comments is kinda disheartening because people don’t seem to see what this video is trying to say.

This isn’t saying you shouldn’t speak up for what’s right. It’s about getting so caught up in your own beliefs that you think that people are purposefully trying to be malicious, and instead crying “Social Justice” as a pretense for actively trying to prove people wrong and make yourself look better. This isn’t to say that you can’t look at things critically or voice your opinion, but it is true that many people try to “call out” small things that people say that most likely wasn’t even intended to be malicious. Trying to unlearn prejudices is a work in progress for everyone.

And honestly this video is so accurate regarding the culture that this website has produced in regards to social justice. I do support social justice, but there is a better way of sending your message than just shouting at others who didn’t even intend to be mean or ignorant in the first place. You’re lucky to have this kind of access to knowledge because you have access to the internet. Knowledge is power, but it should empower you to share it with others and educate them instead of trying to degrade people.

I’m a Bisexual WoC with a limited amount of money. I get it. There’s so many things to be upset about in a world that hasn’t leveled the playing field. And I’ve dealt with some really difficult people and mindsets. But your own passion shouldn’t overshadow your compassion. Pick your battles wisely.
