“we all had an anti-sjw phase” no actually i just had like. basic empathy

idk if you had an anti sjw phase but you’ve changed now good? i guess? but don’t expect marginalized ppl to absolve and validate you and certainly don’t talk down to us abt how we’re required to forgive you bc hey! we’ve all been there!

anyway i was gonna clarify this thread but this tweet basically sums up my feelings https://twitter.com/alterego/status/1276139630815883265?s=21 https://twitter.com/alterego/status/1276139630815883265

bipoc aren’t your moral punching bags and like if you had extenuating circumstances that lead you down that road i’m very sorry to hear that but we need to stop normalizing the idea that bipoc owe white people forgiveness and absolution for their past racism

also let’s not pretend that the anti-sjw forums were just a harmless social space and not actively violent

last caveat i’m talking specifically abt anti-sjw forums references in a particular and whack ass thread and not like. being subconsciously colorist when you were 5
