wow, a straight, male, white guy on tumblr is sad because bunch of random teenagers he doesn’t even know screams bad stuff about groups he belongs to and it’s equal to black people being murdered, gay people being denied jobs and women being raped for refusing a date. it’s like giving a rich ceo 1000$ monthly of aid and a jobless poc transwoman 1000$ because both deserve equal treatment! why shouldn’t he get aid if she will? equality!

So basically, emotional abuse, sexism, heterophobia, and racism, not a big deal as long as it’s in small amounts. Gosh you’re so right. Just suck it up guys, who cares about that!

And then the fallacy of relative privation seems to be all too common:

and it’s equal to black people being murdered, gay people being denied jobs and women being raped for refusing a date. it’s like giving a rich ceo 1000$ monthly of aid and a jobless poc transwoman 1000$ because both deserve equal treatment! why shouldn’t he get aid if she will? equality! 

First of all, who said it’s equal to those things? Again that’s like saying no one in a first world country has the right to complain about their problems because there are people in third world countries who have it worse. The logic is flawed and toxic to mental health.

Also I believe the examples you used are flawed, but going into that will be irrelevant from the point I’m trying to make.
