I verily doubt that the phenomenon even exists as initially defined by Pierce, let alone has the effects it is implied to have Frankly, "as defined and used" a claim of micro-aggression can not be disproved, kind of like "knocking on table summons bad spirits" can't be disproved

to me it's obviously a thing from simple observation of shit people do, as to effects, enh, anything can have any effect if you wire up the right cognitions between the one and the other

Yeah, you're saying, stop telling people their actions make others feel bad, this is bad. This is precisely, being a bitch about being told such a thing

That’s in fact not what I’m saying. I’m saying when you say that someone’s action makes you feel bad, it is disingenuous and harmful to the social fabric to do so in a way that suggests to most hearers that they are being, in however minor a way, deliberately villainous.

the imputation of *deliberate* villainy isn't really there, and like so much of ~systems discourse~ part of the point is that the villainy doesn't need to be meaningfully deliberate to have an effect

i absolutely don't think that most people perform microaggressions because they're trying to do *anything*, i think they're monkey-see-monkey-doing

Replying to @chaosprime @drethelin and
the thing that always gets people's backs up is basically a feeling that you shouldn't bring something to me as a behavior you want me to change if i didn't do the behavior to be *deliberately bad*, which, well, i can relate to feeling that way but it doesn't have legs on it
