The View From My Brain

supersoygrrrl:

Sure, everyone is arguing wrong and reading you wrong. Everyone. You’re being extremely hostile and acting how you’re accusing all vegans of acting while everyone is being nothing but reasonable and polite to you.

Hey, you know what? When arguing that I’m wrong about people reading me wrong, then you might want to… you know… read me right ;-)

I AM NOT ACCUSING ALL VEGANS GODDAMMIT! GET IT INTO YOUR STUBBORN SKULL!

Everyone has most certainly not been polite and reasonable. You seem t think that as long as people don’t use swear words at me, they’re being totally cool. This is your privilege talking. I can say something completely swear-word-free and still be a racist jackass, but I’m not going to, because that’d be wrong. People have denied the effect disability has on some people’s lives, people have denied the effect poverty has on some people’s lives, people have called me silly, and stated that my disability is just a poor excuse. THIS IS NOT POLITE AND REASONABLE!

And once again: read the fucking disclaimer. It states specifically that I am not talking about all vegans, just the precious few, who think they know everything better than everyone else. If that’s not you, then I’m not talking about you. If that IS you, then you’re part of the problem.

I’m sorry you apparently have so many issues with yourself that you instead project it on others to deal with it but either way, that’s not my problem and you routinely show that you are incapable of having an actual intelligent debate. And so, I won’t be responding to you further. 

Like hell you’re sorry. Once again you show your psychophobia and claim that my issues with myself (that you know jackshit about, and yet you’re accusing me of projecting, that’s hilarious) is the reason you don’t want to acknowledge the flaws in veganism. This one paragraph of yours has a tone argument as well as ableism, and you’re seriously arguing that I’m the one with the problem.

Cool, s you won’t respond further - awesome, that means no more hippoturds from you on my dash. Thank you.

P.S. I too have a cognitive disability. I’m in no way picking on you for that. And I haven’t at all. But name calling is fun and deserved but I’m privileged in that I don’t respect you if you can’t give me respect?

That’s not what I said. All my original rant was aimed at assholes. If that’s not you, it wasn’t you I was dissing. This has nothing to do with privilege. You seem to have that bit wrong.

Privilege or perceived privilege does not give you license to shit on someone and not have them think poorly of you for your behavior.

I don’t fucking care what people think of me. You can think poorly of me all you want. I’m not shitting on anyone because of their privilege, I’m shitting on people for being asshats about their privilege. There’s a difference. I know it’s subtle. Perhaps too subtle?

You don’t get to do what you want because you perceive me to be more ‘privileged’ than you.

Actually I do. I do get to say exactly what I want. How you react to it is your business.

You also don’t know my life so to immediately trot out the ‘you’re just doing this because you’re more privileged than me!’ is a sort of cop out.

This from someone, who just pulled the “waahhhh you have issues with yourself, so therefore I don’t have to listen to you!” LMAO Come on! Have you even read what you wrote? A never mind, you weren’t gonna reply anyway.

I don’t know your life, of course I don’t. But you clearly either have the kind of privilege that allows you to be an asshat to those with less than you. Or you have a load of internalised -isms. If the latter is the case, then I’m truly sorry for you.
