Re: Why do people hate allies so much?

[(Anonymous)]

"It's ok they behave this way, they've come to help!1 Doesn't matter they're being shitty, we need the numbers".

I think there is probably some differing in opinion in what is "shitty" - I find SJW-types (sorry to throw out that term, but it applies) jump on things that I personally do not consider shitty at all. I find a lot of exaggerations on their part, and assuming of intentions, or just looking at the worst in people.

As a gay person, I'm not going to hate someone who leads their school's gay-straight alliance because they are straight. I'll say good for them. If they "demanded cookies", sure, I'd judge, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that, despite what tumblr would have you believe. Interrupting and speaking over gay people? Maybe, if the topic was about personal gay experiences or something.

I do think there is such a thing as too sensitive.

but yeah it'd depend on the actual situation. all in all, anti-ally shit in any -ism is stupid.

You're entitled to your opinion and experiences.

I'm a lesbian, and I'm specifically talking about not-Tumblr spaces (and IRL spaces) in which I've encountered the problem, in person. It's not like I don't know what I'm talking about. Yes, it has happened in groups I've participted, and yes: straight people can be selfish, loud, and entitled about LGBT issues; to the point it's not a "maybe we're being too sensitive", it's a "these people are being a royal pain".

So I'm entitled to my opinion and experiences as well.

I don't share the hate allies get, but I wouldn't say it's "stupid".
