Enas:
Would i be a Trump apologist for saying that Trump was not the facilitator of all this crazyness?
Munchies:
Yes, actually. You would be.
I'm all for acknowledging system issues, but you cannot ignore the impact of individuals. Focusing on one over the other is, as you like to say, illogical and stupid.
Take FF, for example. This place used to be rife with lots of bigots. Misogynists, racists, homophobes, transphobes, and more. Lotta fucked shit. It was very systematized. This is not to say FF condoned the behavior per se, but seeing that the site owner is an older white British man, there were a lot of blind spots.
You know what changed it? Individual members confronting other individual members. Some changed, some left, and some stopped posting gross things as much. And as people grew unified in standing up for the vulnerable, the system changed.
And this is why you specifically are getting the pushback you are getting. Focusing on systemic issues while overlooking individual actions exonerates the individuals (even if that's not what you meant to do) and strengthens the system. In your efforts to play "enlightened scholar," you are propping up a system that FF as a whole is trying to leave behind.

You're welcome, but I am not interested in engaging with you further. So, while I can't tell you not to respond, understand I will not engage with you further.
It's also unlikely that Morbidly will respond to you as he is taking a hiatus for his health.
