It's difficult to have open and honest conversations about pretty much anything that's remotely considered political. Because a lot of them are exerting control, probably out of fear in a lot of cases. Fear of what they think is misinformation being spread.

In my real life, I've heard more instances where trans people got called "followers of Satan", than I've heard of people getting called extremists. 

Sorry that happened from a genuine mistake. 

But frankly this feels kind of shallow to me. People can get upset about literally anything. I've seen people explode far worse, from being asked to tag spoilers. But also, the fact that you're complaining about it makes it feel a lot less genuine.

Some people are always going to be sensitive about anything.

I would expect more people to be understanding if they believe it to be a genuine mistake.

The fact that I'm relaying something that happened between me and a former friend means it's a lot less genuine?  Seriously?  Okay.  Gotcha.  That works for me, because I feel the same way about your "followers of Satan" comment, which is just as phony as your "suggestion" comment.

I see people get called racists, misogynists, or transphobes because they criticize a movie or a video-game, even if their complaints are about some other aspect entirely.  And I'm supposed to believe that you don't see that? 

Yeah, I don't find you to be genuine at all. Condescending?  Yeah.  Genuine?  No.
