People will shit on crystals believers in one breath and tell people to ‘respect other’s religion’ in another or gloat about their MBTI assessment. The cognitive dissonance is unreal.

I don’t believe in either but at least I’m consistent. If you’re not, then you’re just finding an excuse to hate on a hobby that primarily attracts women.

This is the same thing that happens to anything that women likes: pumpkin spice lattes, uggs, horoscopes, tarot cards, rose, etc. It’s seen as trivial and stupid no matter how banal the average person’s interest are regardless of gender.

And if you make her go outside, that’s the death sentence for all three generations in your family

What is this shit meme format doing in 196

Zodiac sign haters are the same people as MBTI believers change my mind.

This greentext is probably fake, but as someone dealing with memory loss and brain fog, I feel that I need to speak up about the last line.

It’s jarring to see people comment on how saying ‘forgot two weeks later’ makes everything a lie. ‘Forget’ and ‘permanently forget’ are two different things. With memory loss, some memories can feel like a book that randomly checks out and checks into the library.

That’s a lot of words for ‘I’m privileged with good health and can’t empathize with people going through mental and physical illnesses’.

I don’t have AFRID, but I know people who do. Your delusional if you think it’s a choice and they can just decide to eat other things without wanting to throw up

This is this the same as telling people with depression to ‘just be happy’ or telling people with anxiety to ‘just calm down’. There is no ‘just eat the food’ with AFRID. The whole point is that they can’t.

The joke is that big trucks are just as frivolous as overpriced weddings, and both of these people are idiots.

So many people here who don’t know about PCOS or PCOS belly and actually think the woman in the picture is stupid.

Not saying it’s anyone’s job to do this, but bullying transphobes doesn’t deradicalize them.

I think there are a good amount of people who are on the fence who would be persuaded by the detailed argument in this comic. The thing that the author is trying to convince people of is subtle and invisible to most people.

How do you tell people that this invisible thing exists and that they might be the one perpetuating it without putting them off?

It’s like asking your well meaning friends not to use ‘retarded’ as an insult. Sure, they aren’t saying this to hurt disabled people, but they are unaware that it does. The best way to change their minds isn’t by saying ‘you’re offensive’ and decry their character. It’s by slowly and gently telling them that you know they don’t mean to, but this thing that they say hurts people.

I’m not saying that we need to walk on eggshells around every offensive person, I’m saying that slow drawn out explanations without directly criticizing people is what works.
