CAPTCHA: arterial Gandhi's

[(Anonymous)]

In before "Oh but that's a GOOD thing!" *sparkle rainbow happy bunnies*

[(Anonymous)]

What's being crazy got to do with morality?

[(Anonymous)]

I am going to be disappointed if this doesn't end in shitstorm. Though if you really wanted to rile people up, you should have ended the secret with something among the lines of "And I don't care at all about it".

[xenafox.livejournal.com]

Fandom in general, or Fandom SECRETS? I have fun in general fandom but here it seems as though people argue you into a corner to convince you that you have all these bad thoughts.

[auriatetsukai.livejournal.com]

In all seriousness...

same here.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't even have energy for this today.

I am so sorry your life has the tiny speed bump of trauma that is MAYBE WORRYING FOR A SECOND that YOU MIGHT POSSIBLY have ignorant tenancies. Let me cry 10,000 diamond angel tears for you.

[suave-badass.livejournal.com]

I am now tracking this post. *insert popcorn gif*

[carey-pontmercy.livejournal.com]

Having to think about whether you're any of those things is often a good antidote to being any of those things. However, I must confess that my reaction to things being called racist/sexist/whatever range from "OMG you are totally right how have I not seen that before" to "oh, yeah, I guess that does have unfortunate implications, but I don't think that they're that bad" to "okay, now you're just making shit up".

O RLY?

[vardoeger.livejournal.com]

Do you happen to take issue with Obama's Health Care package as well?

[(Anonymous)]

Same thing happened to me, anon. But I figure that questioning yourself is, generally, a good thing. These are all important issues and I think everyone should spend some time considering them.

Y'all need to get over yourselves...

[yunho.livejournal.com]

What does it matter? Anon is kinda dimwitted for thinking this is a bad thing, but why do you guys care so fucking much? *Is mind boggled at the gratuitous wank*

[iiiskaaa.livejournal.com]

I'll never understand the idea that being selfish is such a bad thing.

[la-petite-singe.livejournal.com]

Well, there's nothing wrong with questioning yourself and looking at your views from another angle and opening your mind or whatever. The fact that you're questioning it probably means you're not too far gone.

[oywidapoodles.livejournal.com]

Just finished reading a book called "A Mind of its Own : How the Brain Distorts and Deceives" about how completely unaware you are about how and why you judge things (ugh, there's that word), and yeah, according to psychological studies, you probably are more more all of those things than you would think, cause everyone is. But being aware of that it pretty much the only way to combat it.

I recommend the book, btw. It was really interesting.

[clarice.livejournal.com]

Why are so many commenters presuming that the OP is bitching or complaining? There's no tonal context to this secret.

And frequently--but not always--people who worry that they may harbor some prejudicial or retrograde notions are more progressive than the ones who insist they don't. Because every single person does, and it only gets better through interrogation and conscious effort.

[kitty-wake.livejournal.com]

I'm totally not getting all the people who are getting a "Poor me!" vibe from this secret.

Did I write this in my sleep?

[(Anonymous)]

This is exactly how I feel. I've actually been losing sleep and feeling really depressed over it, but then I get even more upset because I realize that's just my privileged guilt talking

):

[(Anonymous)]

I think you guys are talking the wording on this secret a bit too literally. To me it comes across as "Fandom made me realize how racist and sexist I am. Realizing how racist and sexist I am made me think about how uneducated (on such issues), selfish (in having such attitudes in the first place), and crazy (for not being able to realize my racist and sexist attitudes on my own)."

The "question my morality" thing just seems like a turn of phrase.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

:\

waiting for this to turn to ablist wank cause of the use of "crazy"

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

So...what are you going to do about it?

(Although "uneducated" and "crazy" don't seem to fit in with the others. Neither has anything to do with morality, I think.)

My problem with minority activists

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know about anyone else but I hate being told that I'm 'being a minority' wrong. I had no idea before that I was supposed to get upset and offended everytime someone referred to me by a word some people consider a slur. I'm pretty easygoing and am not bothered by a lot of things privileged people ~take offense to for my sake. It really wears me down to hear them and other members of marginalized group explaining to me that I'm just a self-hating idiot, though.
