Don't just shoot people down because you think they "don't understand". You would be surprised what you can learn from people, even if they're not the most tech-literate. Knowledge and intellect doesn't equate to how familiar you are with the internet. (2/2)

Act as if you would with any other person who does/says the same things. Cause ya'll sure as hell don't. (4/4)

As someone who's worked with industry professionals, if you want to show your support and respect for a creator, don't pretend you're their best friend or speak on their behalf. They see it, and they don't like it. (3/4)

Especially when said creator has never indicated or spoken out about a given topic. Your perception of them is based on their work and a handful of things they've said in interviews. You can learn parts about them, sure. But that doesn't mean you KNOW them. (2/4)

There were definitely people that agreed with me and shared the same sentiment. But I think my other opinions and the way I went about it gave them the ick. I did at least make a couple of friends though. Somehow lol

A lot of stuff I said was genuine ignorance on my part; but I did often say that if you're expecting people to read your mind, you can't get the outcome you want. Most of them didn't like that.

It was a mix of things. (4/4)

But I was mostly like, "oh women aren't oppressed at all", and I didn't realize until they showed a video of the micro-aggressions women face (including sexual harassment), that I realized, "oh shit, this happened to me too". That was a bit of a wake up call. (3/4)

I also said that rather than expecting white people to know everything or isolate them, you need to communicate concisely in order for them to understand your dilemma. (2/4)

This person was me lmao 😂😂

There were some things I was rather ignorant of, but some of them I still hold true to this day.

Basically I thought white privilege wasn't real at the time. So that opinion's definitely changed lol.
