re: recent discourse, a note for both sides
before you draw battle lines and decide that the cause is worth tossing around, please remember
this started because someone, in an act of digital self-harm, wanted to post something they know would be controversial - and hurtful - enough to push people away, because that was their coping strategy.
it's a good time to sit and examine if your motivations are significantly different, and what makes them so.
re: recent discourse, a note for both sides
this started with someone intentionally, and self-destructively, presenting it in a way where they wanted to hurt other people, so they could hurt themselves.
if you want to genuinely express concern: don't follow in those footsteps.
if you want to genuinely attempt to understand: don't follow in those footsteps.
if you want to do anything other than hurt other folks, and also yourself: don't follow in those footsteps.
