when people get mad at other people saying that something they did was racist/sexist/homophobic/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
