I would play this despite not respecting fat people

You are a little too comfortable telling people how to talk. Iām seeing that a lot these days.

Ask politely, show a genuine interest, and donāt try to undermine what they say. Also read the room if itās going into a topic that someone doesnāt feel comfortable talking about and be ready to learn another day!
Thanks for the honest answer !

When we tell people not to murder, we are telling them how to act. When we tell people not to be racist, we are telling people how to talk. Telling people not to do things is a normal thing to do. The content of what is being told is the important part.
Is there a particular part of the op that you find friction with?

The meme is making the effort required to be educated or a fascist equivalent when they are not.
Being a fascist is intellectually easy.
Got a problem? Blame migrants Canāt get ahead? Blame Jews Canāt afford a house? Black people got too uppity
Itās a one trick pony, all problems are caused by someone else and Iām perfect.
Understanding the systemic reasons why women still arenāt paid the same as men or why a disproportionate amount of African Americans are incarcerated is hard and requires a lot of foundational groundwork to overcome the huge capitalist propaganda machine.
youāre kind of saying that this school of thought isnāt for everyone?
when, really, everyone would benefit from it.

Even though I do not have a problem with treating the things mentioned with respect, something about this text irritates me, but I canāt put my finger on it. Which feels really weird because I donāt like the feeling of something being off even though I canāt spot anything that actually bothers me.

Out of couriosity: I have never played the game, soā¦ is the game actually unplayable if you decide to be intolerant against one or more of these? (As in: Is the tolerance and representation part of the core mechanics or is this just meant as a statement?)

Everything from the rules of the game to the GM guide to the pre written game settings are written with the assumption that players and the gm will be respectful and kind, but no you could absolutely try to play the game about connection-seeking queers fighting oppression and finding family as a bigot

Itās not their responsibility to teach but itās also not my responsibility to keep abreast of all social developments. Itās inappropriate to gatekeep due to someoneās naive ignorance.
Picture this. Sitting at a table game and someone drops a term or phrase that I donāt recognise. Am I going to run to the toilet and google that term? Or am I just gonna say 'yo, whatās that mean?"
Thereās a world of difference between hearing a term youāre not familiar with and saying something like, āIāve never heard that before, would you mind telling me what it means?ā and learning about someoneās marginalization and asking them a bunch of questions about it. Iām guessing this rule is targeting the latter.
Personally, if I meet someone who is marginalized, I avoid talking about their marginalization unless they bring it up and are clearly interested in talking about it. If they donāt want to be defined by it or be asked a bunch of questions about it, then thatās their right.

How on earth did you stumble across a comment that is 5 days old?
No objection with your framing. In fact, I tend to agree. My disagreement was the narrow / binary lens applied by the previous commentor. Their perspective (āyour responsibility to learnā) is/was an extremely dismissive approach.

Iām only subscribed to like three communities so I see a lot of the same posts when I sort by subscribed.
We both agree that itās not all or nothing. Itās unreasonable to say that asking a good faith question is always bad, just like itās unreasonable to demand someone answer questions about their marginalization. I was just pitching in my thoughts as to where the line is.
