The subject I tried speaking about in the original post wasn't about me. The issue is important to me, but that shouldn't invalidate the fact that it's a genuine, actual issue that needs to be tackled. It's important to stop hate crime against minorities because for one it speaks volumes about us as a civilization. Crime is indeed always going to happen and it's always a tragedy, but we should uplift ourselves to the point where it's not the norm for people to go and attack people for reasons out of their control. These prejudices still exist and it's the duty of everybody with a head on their shoulders to call it out when it arises. Do you understand that? We are still very much so fighting an upward battle. Any attempt to invalidate or ignore that is retrograde and needs to stop.
No, the majority of discrimination we face is from the status quo. Straight, able bodied, white, cis males are the majority on this planet. As such, it's especially heinous when this community strikes out against minorities with little to no power to combat the violence and discrimination that is perpetuated against us. Calling such people out is hardly discriminating against them. If you wish to call me out on any related comments, first read the entire thread again, maybe twice if you're confused, and see what has been said about my community and about me personally. I have every right to be frustrated with all of you, get off the fucking pedestal.
