Oh, please. We both believe in using words to discourage expression of certain beliefs and limit particular behaviors. Which is why you're talking to me in the first place. Saying that you don't believe in "call-out culture" while calling me out for calling somebody out just means that you object to it being done by people who you disagree with politically. "Call-out culture" is only novel to the extent to which previously marginalized people can collaborate and talk to people in dominant group as peers.

Also, your claim that you were being "charitable" is obviously disingenuous. How kind of you, so rich in thought, to donate your pearls of wisdom to the impoverished thinkers with regrettably different politics than yours. I only hope you have more time in the future to condescend to me while ignoring my actual points.

If you were all that serious about addressing the problems that you see "call-out culture" as attempting but failing to solve, I expect you'd be doing something about it besides tsk-tsking and making tone arguments. Otherwise, though, the simple explanation is that this is garden-variety concern trolling on your part. So yes, feel free to good-day yourself right on out of my replies.
