hmm, I might've been overreaching, since I don't know the particulars of your circumstances either. I just feel like there are certain questions that I took too long to voice, certain concerns that I should have felt much earlier, and that I didn't is an indication of my own privilege too, and this must be acknowledged (publicly, even, since most other things about this are public).
I am actually very... not glad that I hurt people, but appreciative that you brought it up.
I'm glad that's the case, because I feel the same, especially considering that other concerns are being raised. (Which is not to say that I'm entirely unconflicted. I agree with you that what is most important is to focus on those who are most at risk, and that it is necessary to have a safe space for anger against social injustice. But I'm not sure whether it is possible to create such a public safe space when considering the possibility for things to be taken out of context in other places, which limits both the posts and the critiques that can be made. So, yes, I don't know! But I am cautiously, err, not unhopeful.)
