    Why does everyone insist on adding the ‘so just bend over and take’ part whenever someone points out another source of wrongdoing? Like what do yall always take it to mean that the speaker is implying a whataboutism argument? And not maybe as ‘oh shit this has been going on longer than just this maybe we should learn about that too and we might figure out why it hasn’t been stopped yet.’

      If “everyone” keeps reading a sentiment you did not intend out of your message, perhaps it is time to consider that you are doing a poor job of communicating your point.

      Or you’re being disingenuous and just don’t like being calling on your hissy fit.

      I dunno, take your pick.

        It’s the first one, I’m terrible at effectively communicating nuanced points.

        And I mean yall could interrogate the statement instead of reaching a conclusion and then responding but I get it.

        But also, fuck that. Do more work as the reader.

        Also, piss off with your infantilizing ‘hissy fit’ bullshit.
