1. Calling someone "weird" seems a lot more playful than insulting to me.
2. Do you find it equally unpleasant when people make insulting remarks about their own group than about a group they don't belong to? I think the latter is usually considered worse.
3. Speaking of which, "self-hating SJW" is a term used to denigrate a group--in this case, a group you don't belong to--and to dismiss them as people without considering the validity of their ideas. That's a cognitive shortcut that could be harmful.
- omonra 10y agoYes - it may be more 'playful' than insulting. But I definitely sense a general tone that it's ok to insult white / straight people while prostrating oneself in front of any kind of ethnic or sexual minority. This is a perfect example of this. Is there any purpose to calling members of the developed world 'weird'? To me it's pure propagation of 'victimhood' culture - where being not white or not straight gives one 'victim points'. I consider this racist and I'm calling it out.
