    Exactly.

    You can be declare yourself to be an ally, or anti-“bad thing”. The people of those groups decide, not you.

    “I’m a stamp collector, I just own zero stamps, I don’t listen to anyone who says I should collect stamps, and I say everyone who calls me a false stamp collector is actually hurting the stamp collecting community.”

    Check the mod and post history of everyone saying Blahaj is a dictatorship or is supporting attack helicopter shit. Every one gatekeeps or says horrid shit.

    Meanwhile I’ve never been called transphobic. Or racist. Or sexist. Because I don’t go “I’m actually I’m a true ally you stupid idiot, listen to the guy who isn’t part of your group and obey my orders or you’re the true bigot!”
