That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

As has anyone on leftist internet spaces. More than one too many.
I agree teens dislike discrimination, and I love them for that. It's wonderful to see that zoomers are so strong in their support of equal treatment for all.
But teenagers want a grand struggle, and they also don't want to be too uncomfortable. So instead of struggling against real threats, like fascism, they've started witch hunts in their own circles. I should probably just downvote and move on, but it annoys the piss out of me. When I was their age I was getting tear-gassed by riot police for demanding fair wages and an end to police brutality. Gen Z has so much righteous anger energy, but they keep turning it inward.
Gen Z online has an issue with not comprehending nuance.
Fixed that for you.
I've been "online" since before there was what people consider to be "online" today was even widely available. (I had to make do with things like BITNET or FidoNet before the commercial Internet became a thing.) One thing that has always typified online discussions is a lack of nuance. Sometimes it's deliberate, like when people can't refute what you say so they leap on some imagined slight in how you used a pronoun (to use modern issues), and sometimes it's just that people can't read. But this has been an issue as far back as the very early 1980s and likely far longer than that even.
For starters, I'm not a teen, by a pretty long shot, but way to try and infantilise me to try and make me irrelevant, secondly, if you had any understanding of leftism at all (lmfao at you actually thinking you belong in leftist spaces in the first place, bigot) you would know that ableism (like all bigotry) is a tool of fascism literally designed to make bigots like you look at marginalised people like me with disdain and feelings of superiority.
So all you've done here is demonstrate how a fascist way of thinking can and does exist even in minds that have somehow managed to convince themselves they're "leftist".
REEEEEEEE
I've been called transphobic once, which is still one too many I guess. I still think it was a misunderstanding but I don't want to invalidate their experience. If this is a very common occurrence for you why do you think that is?
Anyway, I think gen z can fight multiple battles at once.
