One time it wasn’t a bigot, but an old guy taking creepshots of college girls on the light rail

Edit: If you’re going to argue against my meme, then why don’t you tell me what you expect me to do when I see someone hurling epithets and slurs against brown people or trans people, or homophobes calling me a “faggot” and spitting at me? Just sit there on my hands like a useless log?

And moreover, if you’ve come here from other instances for the sole purpose of calling me names, I’m going to report that shit and message your instance admins. There is NOTHING about my post or comments that is attacking or insulting anyone, unless you’re a creep or a bigot.

I’m not going to sit idly by while others cause harm.

Remember to always stand up for what’s right. Ignore the ignorant people who tell you not to. They’re part of the problem.

This is an essential part of mutual aid

    I think you’re confusing approved and appropriate.

    Kicking a bigot or a creep off a train is appropriate, if even it’s not done by an official, approved authority figure.

    Support for that doesn’t mean supporting behavior that is unapproved and inappropriate, like religious persecution.

    Relying only on action from approved authorities doesn’t make it any more likely that the actions taken will be appropriate. As the police show us daily.
