they're getting downvoted because their tone is condescending ("just a thought") and because this kind of comment shifts the blame from the oppressive side to the victim. if that at least was good advice, but it's not even that since he's stating something obvious, thus undermining their engagement and activism even more.
I’m interpreting their tone differently than you are, evidently.
Any comment that starts with "Ummmm" is meant to be condescending and bitchy. Hopefully this comment has helped you to learn how to properly interpret tone.
Any comment that contains "Hopefully this comment has helped you to learn how to properly interpret tone" is meant to be condescending and bitchy.
Exactly. Congratulations you've picked up on my tone. Glad I could help the group.
I'm so glad I could participate in this learning experience. Definitely in my day's top ten moments.
You're doing so well. Couldn't be prouder.
