    So somebody wanted to broaden their understanding by asking a simple question and you decided to be a dick?

    Maybe they didn’t have time to read the article and thought somebody would help.

      The previous comment getting so many votes is saddening on lemmy. Someone asked a question that wasn’t bigoted and instead of taking the opportunity to educate another human they took the time to quote the article and type up a reply that was dismissive. These types of issues can only be resolved with education and someone taking the extra time to put someone else down is definitely not an ally.

        Right. I personally struggle with a lot of the “terms” these days - not because I think they are wrong, only because I don’t always understand what they mean.

        On Reddit, when I saw them used, I would ask for clarification and I’d learn something.

        Being dismissive to people trying to learn isn’t going to bring them into the ally space.
