look, i get that tumblr’s demographic is 85% teenagers and this is all baby’s first social justice experience for most of you, but you guys really need to learn how to differentiate between problematic behavior and irredeemable trash garbage who deserves death
people slip up, people fuck up, people say shit they shouldn’t
it sucks
but it’s human
it’s part of being raised into a patriarchal homophobic racist society and/or being part of a privileged group
and you do it too
stop thinking the world is black-or-white because it isn’t
Someone is deliberately and actively harming a marginalized person or group: To Arms.
Someone said something bigoted: Come for the statement itself, not the person. You might be able to educate.
Someone said something bigoted 5 years ago and you have ‘receipts’: If the behavior hasn’t continued, let it fucking die.
I feel like that last bit requires acknowledgement and apology before one lets it die.
But otherwise yes.
