microaggressions MEGAthread Welcome to the microaggressions megathread! What Are Microaggressions? Good question! According to Psychology Today, But If They're So MICRO Why Do We Need To Talk About Them  ?Viruses are pretty small too, but Ebola has killed thousands. JUST BECAUSE IT'S SMALL DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT DEADLY. Microaggressions are like an oppression virus, lowering our immune systems, loving with our brains, and destroying our hearts. They're the toxic background radiation of this terrible world. By talking about them we release the toxins, and reclaim our bodies, our brains, and, most importantly, our hearts.  My dad jokes with my younger sister that he remembers selling Girl Scout Cookies when he was a Girl Scout. She laughs, understanding the fact that since he’s a boy means that he could not have been a Girl Scout. Thanks, Dad. I’m a boy and a formal Girl Scout. What Is This Thread For? This thread is for detailing various microaggressions you've experienced, for apologizing for microaggressions you've committed in the past (even if you can't apologize to the direct victim), for discussing whether those apologies are sincere or still need work, and for unearthing possible microaggressions within this thread (think of them as metamicroaggressions...or is it micrometaaggressions? I don't know. Maybe we can talk about that too!) What This Thread is Not For Shitposting, fake apologies, fake experiences, making fun of microaggressions, or discussing whether microaggressions "really exist" (news flash, rear end in a top hat they do). I have been assured that the moderators will be carefully watching this thread and doing what's necessary to keep it safe.  Can You Provide an Example? Sure. I can't count how many times one of my friends has said something like "Ohmygod, I am so bipolar," meaning that they're experiencing a temporary mood swing. BIPOLAR IS A DISEASE. If you were having a headache you wouldn't say "Ohmygod, I totally have brain cancer." You know why? BECAUSE THAT poo poo IS SERIOUS. And if you think bipolar people haven't been discriminated against, think again: That's almost six times as high as it is for black Americans, a supposedly marginalized group. Ok, so anyway, that's my most recent microexperience. Let's hear some of yours. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

"Oh, c'mon, Bobby, don't ruin our fun. If you wanna be a little sissy, stay here." Laurie told him. "C'mon, Mike, I've got an idea." Once the Awe Strikers had gone through the gate and the MPs weren't looking Laurie lead them to the other side of the base. There was an electrified barbed wire fence, at least ten feet tall. So there was no way they could climb it. However, Laurie was able to climb up a tree growing close to the fence, then climb out onto a branch and jump over the fence. Mike quickly followed. "Let's go hot-wire a tank!" Mike shouted, running off in one direction towards a group of Maulers. "Nah, let's get a bazooka and blow something up!" Laurie said, heading in another direction. "I can't believe we're doing this," Bobby sighed, standing on the branch. "Geronimo!" he shouted as he jumped to the other side with a thud. Just then an alarm sounded and lights began flashing. "God! They must have heard you! Run!!!!" They couldn't make it back over the fence in a million years so they began running towards the closed building. But the Joes had spotted them long before Bobby had jumped over the fence. In fact, Breaker was watching them on the outside monitors since they had approached the fence and had sounded the parameter alarm. As the trio raced across the complex towards a parked tank, they were quickly surrounded by over twenty Joes, who aimed their rifles right at them. "Uh, I think we're in trouble," Mike muttered, putting his hands up. On the second floor inside the main headquarters building, Flint, Lady Jaye and the others Joes who had just returned were in a debriefing with Duke, discussing the mission. And, more importantly, discussing what Cobra might have stolen from the government research lab.

for reals I think the concept of a "microaggression" is perfectly valid and I'm happy to have had that notion introduced into my awareness. I am not now the sort of person who's likely to be a victim though I'm getting old.
