being the friend that's "too woke" fucking sucks because everyone else can talk about their political beliefs just fine, but the moment you say something, the conversation either dies or you get berated for it. god forbid you want to talk about any lesser-acknowledged type of discrimination (E.G. sanism, fatphobia, ageism, etc.)!!

#personal #fatphobia #sanism mention #<- both mostly in the tags #even in the spaces I'm validated most people will briefly turn on Me if I bring up any political take that they don't want to consider #so RN I'm watching people saying 'oh it's fine for children to be fat but fat adults are just lazy'#KNOWING that nobody is gonna back Me up if I say 'maybe moralizing weight is bad actually'#I remember once calling a character most people consider 'average-looking' fat #in comparison to how a female character considered 'ugly' WITH THE EXACT SAME BODY TYPE is treated and everyone was like #'you stupid fucking SJW he's not fat at all. he's just a bit out-of-shape. stop being stupid.'#I've called out the demonization of antisocial personality TWICE on that forum and both times the thread immediately died forever #the plight of being marginalized is that even the people who like you the most can't be relied upon to defend you #in the face of their moderate discomfort and your violent oppression #moreover. the plight of being multiply marginalized is that even the people who stand with you against one oppression #will turn on you over another #BUT ANYWAY. time to move on. it's honestly best not to waste My energy on people who won't listen to Me anyway #you've gotta focus your efforts on making an actual difference not pleading with the willfully ignorant to change their ways
