These insights on #TonePolicing got me thinking...

Is #WhiteFragility not a pattern in which the focus of a conversation shifts away from discussing the harm experienced by a marginalized person, towards discussing the comforts of a person of privilege?

And is Tone Policing not *also* a pattern in which focus shifts away from discussing harms experienced by a marginalized person, toward the comforts of a person in privilege?

So much for the "attack on free speech".

@Rozzychan I don't think you intended it this way, but this sounds like more of the excuses for #WhiteFragility. You're right, #racism can't be solved in an essay, 500 words or less. That's obvious.

So why do ppl in 2022, post-George Floyd and all of the "we're listening and learning" that was supposed to happen in 2020, *still persist in giving into the temptation to quick-solve it?* So they can feel they 'helped?' That's...infuriating. The impulse, we all get. The lack of restraint, no.

@korpiq Seen several posts about it. Apparently the usual white fragility comes with dressed as "you need to CW your lived experience here", which is NOT a fair ask.

CWs are great, but marginalized people don't need to CW their existence, dammit.
