It's funny to me how even many of those who understand the problems with statements like "but not all men" or "stop complaining, at least you're not <x>" will try to minimize the very real problems atheists can face in certain places.
"But not all Christians! Liberation theology!" (generally said to people who grew up in the Bible Belt)
"You're still privileged because you can just move somewhere else."
"You were never really oppressed, you're just mad because church was boring and your parents made you go."
"You're just strawmanning Christianity (even though the kind you're arguing against is dominant where you live and the one that overwhelmingly affects you materially)"
Thankfully I don't really see this on Hexbear but I've seen it in other allegedly left places and holy shit was it obnoxious.
