I am so, so damn tired of the violent outrage culture prevalent in many parts of online activist culture, especially birbsite. Very often, you see somebody riffing on their own *projection* of what somebody else has said.
Current example:

The whole thread is based on the false assumption that the other party said "being a trans woman is comparably marginalized as being an adoptive parent". And a really, really short exchange, too.
@natanji Hey, could you maybe consider putting toots like this one behind a CW (e.g. CW: birdsite, ranting)?
Lots and lots of "Hey all, look at this person who has bad views" is one of the main reasons I mostly left birdsite for mastodon. Seeing it over here also makes me uncomfortable. So I'd really appreciate if you could CW it. Thanks!
@aekis Will consider that next time, thanks
