Thanks so much!

Okay what if instead she had said "a member of an oppressed group" would get the point then? Right now the point is way the fuck over your head. You are basically coming in here to tell the straight white people that its a-okay with you that they just keep on telling us we should be ashamed and shutting us down.…

Dude. In the face of us claiming straight white people are shutting us down and being extremely oppressive as they fail to listen and instead chastise us, this persons reaction is to again chastise those of us who are angry. And then ends with this gem:

Did you read it literally as a how-to guide?

This entire comment is a winning 'derailing for dummies' bingo card. Congratulations.

Really?

Its exactly like that. Why people can't see how fucking awful it is is just... Wow. Shocking.

Ah okay I understand your comment now. :)

I'm confused. Are you for or against being angry right now?

I am so not feeling straight people* right now. Some people I actually thought were much better than this were joining in on the shut down fun on GT. We have a serious problem as a community that this is even a thing that is happening at all. The sheer number of straight people who thought/think nothing of trying to…

I would point out that several people who would be considered 'forepeople' have been quite vocal on GT about this. The forepeople would be so pleased to see us all getting so pissed right now. We shouldn't be taking this shit lying down and I'm super glad we aren't.

Thank you. I'm just so pissed right now. I am a straight up angry dyke and the sheer number of straight and white people who apparently feel completely justified in silencing us all over this is making me realize how acute a problem we have as a community. wow. It's bad. Our activism is woefully inadequate. We need to…

You know Hermione started by saying that we are losing our shit over Macklemore, but you know what? A lot of us are now losing our shit more about having a whole shit load of straight people jumping in to tell us to shut up or that we should be ashamed of ourselves. You don't find that just a tad fucked right up?

Well here is the one I started, but there are quite a few. We are all pretty pissed off. Please vent with us if you like.

Dude, critiquing one ally is not the same as critiquing all. Mackelmore is a shitty ally for a number of reasons. That has jack shit to do with other, good allies. I have no idea how you heard the name Mackemore and assumed we were talking about all allies everywhere.

Yes goddammit. Thank you!

I second this gross feeling. :(
