throwing around "privilege" and other buzzwords... you know, political concepts.
White privilege isn't a buzzword, nor a political concept.
I certainly do. What I didn't agree with was when people started throwing around "privilege" and other buzzwords... you know, political concepts.
The political part didn't start with someone wishing someone else a
Happy Pride Month. The "political-adjacent" part got kicked off good
and well after that.

Regardless of accuracy of that statement, I don't see any compelling reasons for why white privilege discussions belong here.
Certainly, it's an academic concept to explain certain things that
happen in the world. But people talking about their personal lives can probably avoid using by talking about actual things.
E.g., instead of talking about "male privilege", I could talk about
having a guy groping my leg in public transport, or getting stared at, asked rude questions, or commented upon.
...not that I want to talk about _that_, either.

It's like you're not even aware of what you're writing, somehow.
Are you related to NuSkooler, by any chance?
I *strongly* suspect the reason that they never do is because they like to run and hide behind the FSX "but politics isn't allowed" rule once they've started an obviously political-adjacent conversation that doesn't go their way, and speech is too free in those forums for their tastes.
My evidence is that it has been suggested multiple times in the past but they never ever wind up moving the trouble they started elsewhere. They *always* start it *here*.
