Yeah, just wait until you become one of the burned out and bitter ones though. There is nothing worse than a former idealist.

Oh I am definitely already there. I just think most people can't or don't want to learn.

Why are you trying to change other people? Do you like it when people do that to you? Do you respond well to that?

I don't just start randomly talking to someone about SJ, lol.

It's like being in a conversation and someone says a slur. "Really? Why a word that demeans a group?"

"Other people say it / I don't mean it in a bad way!"

People get defensive, but they stay defensive no matter what you do to explain. This isn't something meaningless like changing someone's personal style, it's going "Hey, that's not cool and it's offensive."

Yes, if you're going to call people out, they're going to get defensive.

Do you like getting called out?

Re: Non-fandom secrets

[morieris]

Who does? But even if you're being polite, even if you're not shaming anyone on a global stage, most people they're not going to change because their feelings at that moment > being respectful of others.

What point are you trying to arrive at? That there's no good way to make social change?

Re: Non-fandom secrets

The point I'm trying to make is that it's futile to try to change other people. They will only resent your attempts to do so. This is Relationships 101. if you expect to effect change by calling others out, then be prepared to do little more than create resentments and divisions and not be liked very much. If you're actually interested in effecting change, try volunteering to help others in need rather than preaching to those who don't want to change.

Fair enough. I've had a fair amount of people talking about how much following me has taught them stuff, but I never knew they were there and didn't have to say anything, so I can see that point. People will either learn and be better or they won't.
