...then just ignore it and do whatever you think is more important. Don't fight against inclusive language, inclusivity, and cultural appropriation because not only is that a very fucking bad look but it creates spaces where reactionaries can start to pull the left apart.

Also, all feelings are valid. If you post something that upsets someone because of the language that you use, they are not overreacting. Even if you don't exactly understand why they're upset, you should still extend some basic empathy to them.

This isn't really directed at anyone or at anything I saw, but I feel like it bears repeating in any left space.

I hope everyone is having a lovely December, love you all.

    if their intent was obviously not to express those ideas and simply happened to use words you don’t like maybe try not to get to upset by it. Also language changes, words that used to be acceptable, and were used with out any intent of being offensive/insensitive, are now extremely offensive
