          Usually when it’s pointed out to me that I’m reacting defensively I take a moment to think about why that is, maybe you should do the same.

              Commits seppuku like a REAL leftist would be required to do.

              You could just not be weird about taking criticism from marginalized people, I think that’s the ask.

              pretending to not understand common expressions

              I’m actually not great with English idioms (ESL girlie), could you explain what this meant for me?

                  “Sucking someone’s dick” is often used as a way to refer to someone sucking up to someone else in a way that isn’t explicable unless there were a secret relationship

                  why would you immediately assume you understand its usage in every case?

                  so why is sucking dick a thing requiring a secret relationship?

                  also it seems like a specifically gendered expression, why wouldn’t you say “eating Russian pussy” if you wanted to imply that there’s some relationship

                  It just scans as homophobic, just as calling trump/elon women as an insult reads as misogynistic.
