    I was trying to help explain why I think people aren’t exactly reacting positively to your critique (and I could be wrong, but to me it comes across as overly inflammatory). I’m very sorry if it came across as disrespectful.

    And there is no “correct take”, it just seems, in my opinion, a bit counterproductive to be insulting. Sorry if it came across as “cis white” mansplaining…

    Sincerely,

    A queer, brown liberal NB furry.

    (p.s. - I’ll overlook the misgendering and whitewashing since, in the heat of debate, I failed to introduce myself with pronouns. Although I am confused as to whatever my race has to do with it. And sorry if my language sounds “arrogant” or “too formal” - I’m autistic, this is literally how I talk…)

      I’m genuinely sorry for misgendering you and for bringing race into it. It’s not that people aren’t reacting positively to my critique. I don’t care about that. It’s the other person talking down to me like I’m a fool or a child and he’s in some formal debate that he has to “win.” The last thing I need are other people inserting their opinions into the mix about how I should speak politely to that person when he was being such a cock.

      And what I meant by “cis white male energy” is people feel the need to tell you their opinion, to the point that multiple people are dogpiling you telling you the same thing, none of which ever addresses the real issue.
