Ugh. I wonder if Twitter was started from scratch today, they'd be thinking "We need a platform for all the scolds and sanctimonious people out there who have nothing better to do but correct people's thoughts.". Probably, because there's a lot of them out there.

oppression is real and social justice advocation is so important. that's why it's that much more infuriating when I see people like this who only are interested in social justice when it serves their own personal interests and/or vanity. they do so much harm to the image of the struggle for justice

It would be helpful if people within those movements would actually push back on these kinds of overblown displays of victimhood. It would lend the movement more credibility when it tackles real issues.

Unfortunately, it seems to me the structure of the movement itself makes many people too timid to actually push back against toxic behavior like this.

FWIW I believe this comment is talking about the busybodies on Twitter, not the comment it is in reply to. I don't think the downvotes are warranted.
