  • Hmm, that’s a great point. It reminds me of fandom groups where most people are just trying to have fun and enjoy the fan content, but then a vocal group of unpleasant people will also designate themselves part of the fandom and damage its public image.
    In that situation, the only thing that really seems to fix the public image of the group is having an authoritative leader (such as a creator of the original work, or a fandom conference organizer) making a public statement like “We do not condone persecution, we support the right to abortion, LGBT+ people are welcome at our fandom conference, etc”.

    Tying back to the original topic, maybe the equivalent would be if well-known Christian leaders were to make statements like that?


  • they’re identifying as a You so if You don’t do something about it then it’s as good as doin it yourself.

    That’s an interesting idea. Would you apply this rule evenly across all groups, or only in special cases?

    To give an example, the rate of people with Tourette Syndrome is around 0.5% (less than 1 in 200). The rate of people who fake Tourettes is much higher.
    Applying your rule, if a person with Tourettes doesn’t speak up against the larger group of people faking Tourettes, is that as bad as them faking Tourettes themselves?
