To be fair, much of the media and art that people are exposed to doesn't really center people who are not of the "majority." So it makes sense to be conditioned over the years to subtly value such people and perspectives more. But it's also depressing, and a lot of people don't question their own feelings, especially if it's more subconscious and not based on anything that seems political to themselves. I guess the answer is to just keep on going with this long slog of trying to project those who are seldom in the spotlight, until people really do see them equally, really see them, not just acknowledge in the back of their heads that, sometimes, Those People exist, but you don't really have to care about them.

Wow, the way he phrased his reasoning is so undoubtedly cowardly too. He didn't even try to hide the fact that it's performative as fuck lol.
So... Roblox, but with Minecraft's graphical style and general mechanics, an open source project, and not a greedy corporation? Cool. I think I'm bookmarking this.
It's crazy that you can get banned for simply writing some pro-Ukraine comments, but it takes Reddit weeks, months, or years to suspend/ban people who send threats and literal predators. Today I was made aware of a subreddit called "r/Grownkids". The name is a reference to, I assume, teenagers under the age of 18, and the posts are filled with people sharing telegrams and other ways to communicate and "feed" each other -- presumably sending/sharing CP, given the name of the subreddit and the suspiciously vague nature of all of the posts wanting to take communications off-platform to fishy platforms like Telegram instead. This subreddit has over 3,000 subscribers. I reported a few of the posts. Reddit's bot immediately got back to me to tell me they were already reported, but they had determined that no rules were broken.
As of posting, this subreddit is still up and likely won't be gone for weeks now.
Fortunately, they were able to permanently ban you very quickly for supporting Ukraine, clearly the real problem on Reddit.
Wow!
Splendid idea! I'll make some signs to go with the yelling! Let's also choose many different things to yell about so our goal is not clear.
I imagine this is what will happen even though it's absurd. Like it's actively going to become detrimental to not be trackable via an online presence connected to your identity because there are people who are mad that you won't let them invade your privacy. Lol
