" @kirakira@furry.engineer The way people look down on immigrants for not speaking their language perfectly.
Echoes the way neurodivergent people mock neurotypical people for the way they speak.
Both are elitist and supremacist.
That our way of speaking is superior and we don’t need to be flexible or accommodate the way we talk to other people to be better understood.
Communication is a highly valuable skill, it can be learned.
This attitude is really throwing our hands in the air and saying ‘we won‘, when it’s not a competition.
im always bothered when someone suggests a book/movie/form of media to me with one of the reasons for recommendation being “it has a trans character with a good reason for being trans.” i find the negative form to be more honest, “this trans character has no reason to be trans” (suggesting that this is a bad thing).
to be generous, i think in many cases this should be translated as “this trans character is poorly handled/written” and to that, yeah, i feel you. a lot of popular media mishandles trans stories. and if you say the former and mean the latter, i implore you to change your wording.
fictional characters don’t exist in a vacuum and have a push/pull with reality. we look to fictional representations for understanding, for inspiration, and as role models. stories codify/reinforce cultural understanding and ethics. i don’t like the implication that minorities need a reason to exist. instead of asking, “why?” when faced with a minority character, i believe the default reaction should be “why not?”
Weird how all the people who said, "Not everyone who disagrees with you is a Nazi" all turned out to be Nazis.

"Independence" is the greatest tool the capitalists have at prying apart the workers. Kiss your homies goodnight and forge a bond that cannot be broken
