          White? The guy's half Mexican, he even has Mexican citizenship. One would assume that would give him some points in the Oppresion Olympics

          And I’m not offended. I’ll take it as the joke intended. If I was a snow flake activist, I’d be bound up in the same mother’s basement, unwashed & further resenting the world, & people like you who probably worked hard for what you have leaving me feeling entitled to it, for free

          Wait so someone says there life is over and your first response is to kick them in the guts with your moral superiority, shouldn't you give a landing hand to help, suicide is a huge problem.

          There is no moral superiority in this article. It's pure ideology. Another zealot who,in a curious plot twist, fundamentally refuses acknowledge the agency of another & this intolerance is borne out in a sense of unearned moral superiority and a voice that never questions itself

          You misgender LCK when you refer to there as “he,” when there clearly states that there’s preferred pronoun is *there*.
