Come on. I’m trying not to kick shit in people’s faces, but the one thing I keep saying is still being ignored:
There are numerous people on this forum whom I know for a fact are BIPOC, LGBTQ and neurodivergent that have expressed that they feel harassed and piled onto. One even came into this forum to express this, and despite even saying directly that they have a hard time mentally processing information and emotional stress like this, were told that because they didn’t participate in one specific forum on neurodivergence, they didn’t really have a stake in the discussion. It took enormous courage for them to even get to the point they felt safe enough to post, but they were belittled and dismissed.
So instead of throwing gasoline on the situation, I reached out to the poster I thought was offensive directly (as the flagging popup advises) and asked them to reconsider how their words landed. They did and it’s gone now. I could identify both users right now, but that seems really shitty and re-traumatizing and I’m simply not going to do it.
