There are not enough 'THIS' in the world. So far I saw maybe three people addressing problematic stuff, and their posts got either lost in a sea or squeeage or went pretty much ignored. I've got told off when I dared to say something myself, too ('people don't know it's a slur, so it's okay!' 'intent is magical!' 'I'm not offended and I choose to ignore what they say, because the squee, the squee, the squee!'), so... I'm disheartened. And not really willing to try and educate people anymore.
It needs to be noted, however, that some of those people were also the ones who went up in arms against Amanda Palmer or alerted people first about previous transphobic fails. I love the double standards. I do, I do.
