“when people get mad at other people saying that something they did was racist/sexist/heterosexist/whatever
I don’t get it
it’s like
If you were hanging out with your friend and your friend turns to you and says “hey I don’t know if you noticed but you just stepped on my foot, can you please stop”, I am guessing most people would say “oh man, I’m sorry” and maybe watch where they were walking a little better
You probably would NOT:
- yell at your friend for accusing you of stepping on their foot
- deny that you had stepped on your friend’s foot
- argue with your friend over how you step on everyone’s feet equally, so it shouldn’t matter
- insist that you didn’t step on their foot that hard, so it couldn’t have hurt them
- get offended over the implication that the way you walk is wrong
- say “okay, but what about MY foot?”
- step on your friend’s foot more to show how it isn’t even a big deal and nobody cares about people stepping on each other’s feet anymore
- reference that one time when your friend stepped on YOUR foot and you didn’t complain
- tell them you didn’t mean to do it, so you’re not responsible for stepping on their foot
- deny that your friend has a foot
and I mean sometimes the person isn’t even a friend or someone you know but that doesn’t matter, don’t fucking step on people”

#DENY THAT YOUR FRIEND HAS A FOOT #oms #additionally i would like to supply: #suggest that your friend enjoys having their toes trampled #tell your friend to ask nicely #tell your friend that you’re just trying to prepare them for the harsh reality of life in a foot-stomping society #tell your friend that WELL AT LEAST I DIDN’T KICK YOU IN THE TEETH and then continue standing on their foot out of petulance #serious business posts
