A tool for the people who come here to lecture

Derailing for Dummies

Because you know AND we know that you're really here to tell us what things look like from the Lofty Perch of Privilege.

I am REALLY, HONESTLY, and TRULY glad that you're here, snowflake. Just knowing that you're extra-super-special lets me live life.

1. The lectures are so fucking condescending.

It just makes me want to heckle them. Even that is sort of forbidden as of late here though.

6. Many of those are ALLOWED here if they are presented

in a polite enough way. But calling it a defense of homophobia, or an outright homophobic argument usually gets us in trouble.

That's really sad. We see a lot of those regularly, and they're allowed to stand.

:(

7. Autumn Sandeen pointed out the link at PHB

I just read through and thought that it would be a useful reference.

Oftentimes, I'm sure, the Privileged (TM) don't even realize they're speaking from the Perch of Privilege (TM).

The hope would be that the good people who come here and try to tell us Marginalized People that we really aren't Marginalized will take heed. Many others are just here to make themselves feel better by putting others down.

8. Pointing out homophobia will get you in a lot more trouble than posting homophobia.

It's weird, isn't it?
