1) My problem wasn't with how she was saying it, it was with who she was addressing it to i.e. a generalized group of people defined by color and sexual orientation rather than specifically those who were the problem (not necessarily by name). I also mentioned in my original comment that I agreed with some of her points and not so much on the others. The tone of the post was very well suited to make it an entertaining post to read without being didactic. So no, I am not bothered more with how she said it. I do understand your point about being fandomwanked if names were named but I was not referring to naming names, but to narrow down the field, since there were assumptions being made about motivation based on nothing more than being white and being straight.
2) That's fine. I'm glad people are working on their issues and realizing it is not them the post is addressed to but again, I have always had problems with generalizations and that point stuck with me.
3) Thank you for the links, they were interesting reads. I would not consider them general slaps in the face either. They were not attributing hangups to people by assuming the reasons, they were giving a guide from someone who is not white and therefore in a good position to see it from a different perspective.
Since this is a textual medium I am not sure how well my own tone carries through, so thank you for the discussion and the interesting links, no I don't have a problem with the post but I still do have problems with the generalization of the addressees and thank you tielan and hope it's not a problem that I continued a conversation in your journal.
