Hey. Pro Tip.

If you have opinions on a marginalized group that you're not a part of, and a platform?

You should...you know...express those opinions privately to people of that group before you run your fucking mouth like an arrogant dipshit.

It's ...it's okay to have ...
bad ideas. We all have bad ideas usually based on lack of expertise, or experience. Ignorance.

If Marie Antionette ever said 'Let them eat cake', privately to people who could've explained to her the issue...if she ever said such a thing, then perhaps she'd have kept her head.
Because, to use this terrible shit example...it's always presented as something she said out of ignorance, but her ignorance was deplorable because she should not have been ignorant of such. It demonstrated how out of touch she was with her people. Etc. etc. etc.
Expressing your BAD IDEAS privately to people, gives you a safe space to explore them. YOU think it's a grand idea. Or you're puzzled as to why this idea isn't offered as a solution to something you have an opinion on.

When you bring them up in such spaces...you can be
corrected and educated. Or at the bare min. told you're fucking stupid and wrong if no one has time for the labor.

AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYONE TO BOUNCE YOUR IDEAS OFF MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T RUN YOUR MOUTH ABOUT PEOPLE YOU DON'T EVEN FUCKING KNOW EH
And you sure as shit shouldn't be proffering your opinions from a platform about how other people's lives should be...when it's not your life you're deciding on. My god.

When in doubt, shut the fuck up. It's free.
