Your comment basically boils down to 'how dare others request empathy'. I find that childish. How do you 'know' for a fact that their concerns are 'cheap gestures' or 'empty' or 'mockery'? And if you don't know this for sure, and accommodating is cheap, why not? Making a big deal of it strikes me as immature.
- blub 6y agoI have no idea what recipe you used to boil my comment but I wrote it like I meant it, so address it like that. For one I meant that the gestures are literally cheap: it costs almost nothing to send a tweet or invent some guidelines. They're also empty because they don't have any effect in the real world.
- mercer 6y agoHow don't comments or tweets have an effect in the real world considering this 'cancel culture' hubbub and all? apparently you can get fired for tweets?
- blub 6y agoAssuming that the goal was to reduce discrimination and racism, getting random people fired does not help achieve the goal and hence has no effect.
