  • My friend. You as an individual cannot be targeted with genocide. Genocide is the erasure of a whole cultural identity.

    That’s another linguistic oddity you’re using that I think is upsetting people to be hostile against you.

    It sounds like you’re being harassed and that’s terrible that you’re experiencing that kind of violence.

    Is this danger around speaking, is it something that’s happening to you in real life or just online? It sounds like something bad is happening to you in real life, but I think these issues your having for which you’re asking for permission to speak is caused by your linguistic oddities.


  • Okay, but those are both normal identities here. Have you had bad experiences based on those identities here?

    Its an odd linguistic choice to identify as a “male homosexual” specifically and especially as a defiant statement against a seemingly specific type of bigotry.

    Further its odd to start from the assumption that people will be racist towards you as well. Especially here where we can’t know that information unless given to us.

    You’re clearly traumatized and reacting in response to that, but it starts the conversation off on a terrible foot when you assume the community you’re posting to for the first time is going to be hostile to you for things we cannot know unless you share it. I think the hostility you’ve encountered here, including my swearing, was triggered by this because you offended us.










  • Mildly related.

    I have a Native American friend. Her tribe is small so they only have a relatively small plot as their reservation. So they slapped a casino there and she makes bank by simply being a tribe member.

    I asked if she’s okay with that since I would feel bad making money off of peoples gambling addiction and she said

    “I don’t feel bad for white people.”

    And honestly

    1. I don’t think that’s a completely shocking take consider all of american history

    But also

    1. Its certainly a similar sentiment among sex workers I’ve met so its not an unfounded accusation.

    This is very much a “if your eye is causing you to sin, pluck it out” moment, but still
