Being angry =/= thinking something is morally worse, it just means you are angry.

OP probably meant a pet peeve and you're going off the deep end.

OP said "nothing make me rage like", which is pretty telling even if they wouldn't argue that one is, rationally speaking, worse than the other. Priorities and things.

Right, and the point I'm making is that what pisses you off, is not always what you consider the worst thing morally. For example, incompetent coworkers make me "rage" more than anything else in the world, but I'm not going to say that they are worse than racism. I don't get "ragey" about racism. I get serious.

Jumping to conclusions about OP's priorities based on what makes them "rage" is dumb

I think that might be poor wording. I can't speak for the OP, but I personally read it more as "all of the above are so bad, I just can't with them, but this is something I can with and allow myself to be angry at"

If that's the case, I get it. There are a lot of things I have to avoid, but just because I let myself be upset at other things that are less worse, doesn't mean I think they're actually more worse. They're just easier to cope with because they aren't as bad.

Which is why I prefaced my statement with "if you genuinely think". If they don't, good.

In that case most of the people complaining about *isms in fandom ought to spend more time openly raging about things like genocide, slavery, forced prostitution, and other bona-fide full-on human rights violations than they do about fanfic writers not featuring enough characters from group X.

Have any of those people ever said that the fandom stuff is worse?

You can care about small things and still care about large things at the same time, you know.

My point is that people's level of anger about things often doesn't reflect their actual severity. If you're going to condemn somebody for feeling more annoyed about more minor things (annoying girl gamers with entitlement issues) than more major things (homophobia, racism, ect.) - as the person that I replied to does - then you need to accept that this means that people have a moral obligation to demonstrate a greater amount of vocal outrage over serious human rights abuses (evil violations that destroy millions of human beings) than they do issues of representation in fanfic (certainly not on a par with murder, rape, or slavery).
