It’s not ironic at all. I’m guessing you have never been in a setting that would have benefitted from such a policy.

I don’t find it too difficult to comprehend why it’s useful to have spaces where minority-focused topics are discussed by everyone, alongside other spaces where the same topics are discussed primarily by the minority in question. Not if you understand what the words “minority” and “majority” mean anyway.

I dislike the whole minority/majority thing, we are all human and we need to be threated like that.

Maybe you are right and I accidentally joined some LGBTQ+ threads ment more for minorities. That doesn’t explain why some of my gay friends never felt welcome in online communities for LGBTQ+

Often what just happens irl is that those people just meet each other somewhere without the rest or go somewhere slightly differently during work, a party or whatever and then talk about what they want. At least that’s when I was a minority back in the day when gaming was for nerds. And that’s what my LGBTQ+ friends do when they want to do that, but The Netherlands has always been pretty open to that. That same thing happens online that people don’t join discussions they don’t care about.

It’s not ironic at all. I’m guessing you have never been in a setting that would have benefitted from such a policy. The only times I have been in a setting like that was when getting bullied in school where they didn’t want to talk to me because I was the minority.

  We’re all human but that doesn’t erase systemic issues. And not being effectively brigaded is all they ask for.
