hard disagree. being aware of the microaggression pattern allows you to avoid wearing down those around you (which inevitably leads to escalation)
lol, she's talking more object-level tho. like "this thing you did is a microaggression against me" mapping to "you did this thing to hurt me on purpose, which is now a grievance that means i get to control you"

i think the discourse definitely encompasses that, which would be the sturgeon's law bit i was talking about earlier, i just don't think the 10% doesn't exist

I strongly doubt it exists, but the important feature that makes me aggressively disregard the concept of micro-aggression is that it is impossible to disprove those 10%'s existence, making it like Russel's Teapot, or grandma's multiple peculiarly conflicted supernaturals

You can say that about Psi too, methinks. Even easier with Psi, I'd argue.

Psi is my "the Universe is not required to be consistent just because I think it is" exception. No test conducted by neutral observers has yet produced replicable and reliable evidence of Psi powers. I accept that. However, I don't accept that that means they don't exist.

Yeah well, I'm saying there's a certain lack of self-awareness in that
