  • How on earth did you stumble across a comment that is 5 days old?

    I’m only subscribed to like three communities so I see a lot of the same posts when I sort by subscribed.

    We both agree that it’s not all or nothing. It’s unreasonable to say that asking a good faith question is always bad, just like it’s unreasonable to demand someone answer questions about their marginalization. I was just pitching in my thoughts as to where the line is.



  • There’s a world of difference between hearing a term you’re not familiar with and saying something like, “I’ve never heard that before, would you mind telling me what it means?” and learning about someone’s marginalization and asking them a bunch of questions about it. I’m guessing this rule is targeting the latter.

    Personally, if I meet someone who is marginalized, I avoid talking about their marginalization unless they bring it up and are clearly interested in talking about it. If they don’t want to be defined by it or be asked a bunch of questions about it, then that’s their right.
