"but yes, I'm sexist, homophobic, panelist, racist, classist, and everything else, despite being on the minority/repressed side of more of those categories than not. I couldn't help it; I grew up on Earth. Where'd the rest of fandom grow up? The moon?"

I'm too tired at the moment to figure out if my response will contradict the sentiments in my OP, but thiiis. Which is actually what makes me particularly defensive when I (or other people) are then bashed and intensely criticised for, essentially, being human, so maybe our reaction differs there.

ironically from my experience people are even harsher when you're part of the minorities involved. the people at the top of the kyriarchy don't seem to get any comparable flack. but because they're at the top of the kyriarchy, I'm already biased towards them and don't want them to get said flack.

i'm so tired of fighting, though. sometimes i just want to accept my lot and have everyone leave me alone - they can be bigots towards me, i can be bigots towards them. in the end i'll lose anyway, because the odds are generally stacked against me, and if people outside the minority groups I'm a part of are really that concerned, they can do the fighting and let me be the ally for once.

AYRT. Awww, don't give up! *big hugs for you* And don't let the SJWs get you down! So many oh them see everyone's privilege and bias, except for their own. Anyone who thinks they're immune is deluding themselves. Like I said, we're all human! All we can do is try to reach out to and love and support each other. The bullies aren't helping anyone!

So no worries! I've struggled with internalized self hate from all this stuff, too, which has left me very depressed at times. It's never your "fault" and you should never feel bad about it!

E-cuddles for you OP! You are awesome!
