    I now see that asking the original poster to provide an example was the bait. Everyone who doesn’t participate in the outrage gets treated like a bigot.

      I mean I’m trying to be pretty mild and I’m not being a dick to you. I’m also being called a nazi by a handful of people.

        People berate me and bombard me with essays about how bigoted it is to misgender people, texts about how bigoted it is for me to “support the reactionary”, calling me an asshole etc., for nothing at all.

        It really does feel like there is random stuff you aren’t allowed to say. Because otherwise you summon a group of triggered people who start fighting an imaginary army of strawmen they put on your head.
