And yet you have yet to provide a coherent explanation for your original post 🙄

If you mean my concise, original reply to the OP, you seem to be the only one who doesn’t understand it.
Do you know what part of my comment you need explained?

How does “there are marginalized parts of society you’re allowed to berate” relate to the original question about burning man. I doubt I am the only one having trouble with the statement as that post is sitting at a -7, I’m just the only one morbidly curious enough to engage with you about it.
To me that seems like a statement that denigrates the term marginalized to the point that the word becomes meaningless.

You not understanding the word “marginalized” does not make the word meaningless.
The original question was why people are so giddy about the flooding that happened at Burning Man.
My answer that only you appear to be confused about can be expanded:
The entire burning man community is a marginalized community within the United States because they act contrary to American conservative social cues and structures but don’t have significant counterbalanced social power to defend themselves, making it a very safe target for bullies.
So even though there was a dangerous tragedy affecting tens of thousands of people and someone actually died, the worst parts of society have and are going to bully and demean this community because they are “weird” and can not or will not defend themselves in a way the bullies understand.
