First I am going to say that I am not being \u201coffensive\u201d and that if you read it as offensive, then there is something wrong with you.<\/p>\n

Next, I am going to jump head first into a racist\/sexist\/homophobic\/transphobic rant. I will refer to groups as \u201cthose people\u201d or \u201cothers\u201d. I will minimize their concerns while also implying that they\u2019re just too dimwitted to get the brilliance of my argument. I\u2019ll rely on ideals of America, Freedom, and Justice and I will not acknowledge that these ideals are, by and large, available in full only to white, cis males.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then, I am going to make this even more all about me. I talk about how I can\u2019t be racist\/sexist\/homophobic\/transphobic because I have a friend who is a person of color\/a woman\/an individual who identifies with a QUILTBAG label\/a trans person. I say that if you question me, then you\u2019re really the one who is racist\/sexist\/homophobic\/transphobic and I call upon a logical fallacy to back me up.<\/p>\n

Finally, I tell people not to reblog or to publicly discuss my argument. If I see that my argument does not hold water and\/or that many, many people disagree, I will delete the post and act like you all just didn\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s keep it civil, even though I refuse to acknowledge you as my equal!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Normally I don\u2019t dignify Tumblr fuckery with a response, but I feel compelled to do so here because I want to give ailanthusaltissima<\/a> the benefit of the doubt, while also pushing back on the social attitudes embodied in her post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I will respond to her fatuous points with well reasoned commentary backed by statistics, and will further argue that hiding behind claims like \u2018tee hee, I don\u2019t really<\/em> mean to be offensive\u2019 is a luxury for people who are not constantly forced to defend their very existence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll close with a pithy and ~deep~ quote from a book I haven\u2019t actually read. Though I claim not to check reblog notes, I will be checking throughout the day and taking note of who didn\u2019t reblog me; clearly, they are in tacit agreement with ailunthusaltissima and need to be added to the enemies list.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I don\u2019t have anything to add to this other than an animated GIF, which I include without a text description, to demonstrate my feelings about the above.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And after all arguments have been parsed and it is clear for everyone that I have stepped out of line, I will announce that I am leaving Tumblr, closing my blog entirely and that it is your loss altogether because, even though I do not belong to any of the groups discussed, nobody knows their issues better than me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
