Some anonymous shithead left this screed on RationalWiki, and we thought it was worth documenting here to show how fucking stupid some of our fans can be. |
Can you explain why I am blocked? I tried to make the following userpage:
I am a typical member of RationalWiki. I am constantly screaming every day hysterically because I remember the fact that Trump is president, thanks to the KGB and white privilege, and the fact that thousands of trans women of color are being burned to death every minute by members of the Ku Klux Klan. I regularly kick my own testicles to punish myself for being a cishet white male. Whenever I see a plus-size Black woman, I tell her that she is beautiful, her body is special and forever loved, and I am so sorry for how oppressed she is because I know that I am at fault simply by being white. I know that I benefit from institutionalized whiteness and I cry about it every day. I will devote my life to abolition of ICE and the creation of a privilege tax to expropriate all white males to redistribute their wealth to undocumented immigrants, especially LGBTQIA+ ones, as well as all BIPOC and descendants of slaves. Please, POC, I beg of you forgiveness for my privilege. I'm SO sorry.
I understand I may have been blocked as part of a policy to reduce the number of white males on this site and if so, I respect it totally. I understand the painful trigger it is for Black women, LGBTQIA+, Muslims, and others to even see a white male and if my existence is making them uncomfortable, I will leave with utmost graciousness. I simply can not apologize enough to marginalized communities for the way my privilege hurts them so much every day.
