    their response is more like "what is you worrying about it going to change?"

      ah yes that moment when fellow black solidarity and collective community trauma doesnt exist/ isnt triggered by the existential fact that black people will always be at the mercy of crazy white supremacists, evoking empathy even for a high ranking govt official...similar to when we see a fellow black person murdered by a cop for being black/ being screamed at a karen for being black, but what is worrying about it going to change

      but alas i am a white podcaster man who doesnt have to think about collective community trauma because my community will never be targeted by all so i get to prescribe the advice of what is you worrying about it going to change, not having to think about the ways in which my identity causes that line of thinking because alas the white straight male rich identity is everyone identity right

            that seems like a pretty dismissive comment to a black poster talking about racism in the wake of white supremacists storming the capitol but yall be easy. its funny because comments like this is why i choose not to elaborate on what i viewed as an obvious connection between my comment, the hosts' response to what happened at the capitol and the things happening in the capitol, because even if i explained it, it would most likely be dismissed, possibly not taken in good faith, and used as fodder for dudebro debatism about my identity.

            edit: this isnt a judgement on MrsCum specifically, its just how ive recognized this site to work sometimes

            anyway, very happy to see that the many posts analyzing microagressions against marginalized groups in this community was not for nothing. have a nice day!

      If what they have to say has no importance to anything, they should shut down their patreon

        I mean I think Matt has pretty explicitly said that no, no part of their analysis has any basis in reality, its only purpose is entertainment. People routinely pay for entertainment though.

            And a lot of people who used to think that and now that they see it isn't true they externalize their mistake and say shit like "shut down the patreon."

              I'm not externalizing my mistake, if he admittedly doesn't think anyone should be invested in what he has to say, I think it's shitty to charge people to hear him talk.
