I can't say yes before I know what they are but I'm game.

one: if someone wrote a detailed post about a specific aspect of racism that mentioned, as part of the setup and conclusion, that white people are racist, would you want them to contextualise by adding "not all white people?"

this is a weird question that reveals more about you than about me based on any answer I could give. why would you even ask that? notwithstanding that, most "not all" rebuttals are deflection/evasion if that helps you on whatever dive you're into.

I'm asking because your big objection to my post was "not all antis (or people called antis)," so I wondered if you felt like clarifying "not all [group]" was necessary in other discousive contexts.

"Not all antis" when someone means that they were mislabeled that by a self-serving fandom discourser is not analogous to "not all men", "not all (whatever)" You don't get to label me and then yell at me for saying "not all"

this is the thing, though: I never labelled you. I have no idea who you are. if somebody else mislabelled you as an anti, I'm sorry you've had that experience, but you've responded as if I came into your mentions and personally called you an anti, when I didn't.

That's fair. And yes, I have been labeled that. And so have many people who I care about in fandom. And it's difficult to see takes that call out "antis" without personalizing it. Do you get that?

I get that! but at the same time, your bad experience - and again, I'm sorry you've had it - doesn't mean I was out of line not to clarify, in a post that was overwhelmingly about narrative influencing reality, 'by the way, some people get called antis who aren't.'

We can agree to disagree about the speech act of your tweet. It's late.
