We can can care about more than one thing at a time lol. Do you also think black people should just "get over" the n word because global warming exists? Or gay people with the f slur? Do you think that women should stop complaining about sexual harassment in the workplace because global warming exists? Those are often "just words" after all. I care deeply about global warming and want to do things about it, probably more than you do, but that doesn't mean I have to be ok with words meant to insult and attack me and people like me.
Idk if this rhetoric will work with you because you probably do think those things, at least about the slurs.
You're arguing with a militant apathy enthusiast that wants to say edgy South Park tier shit and get no pushback from it, because they're allowed to be offended at others getting offended and that's the only offense allowed according to "nothing offends me"
types.
Think y'all got me figured out eh? I just think getting offended by words is pointless. Esp when shit isn't directed towards you...
This wasn't about you till you made it about you, you were not the target of a slur. Now fuck off as we would prolly never get along and arguing about something stupid is pointless.
