Exactly, just like when you have bullies in high school. Don’t assume that just because someone is wandering around mocking and relentlessly making fun of another student that the other student isn’t ok with it. We need to leave space for the victims to come forward if and when they feel uncomfortable, and not use our positions of power or authority to try to provide social support to people who we view as victims. After all, it worked for Anita hill and everyone who came after and we gave those dumb whores zero support.
There’s a difference between engrossing yourself in another culture and being actively hostile to another person or culture.
The kind of people I’m talking about are those that get offended on behalf of a culture they’re not a part of, for someone simply participating in that cultures traditions.
They’re not out there actively mocking, attacking, or otherwise demeaning that culture, it’s traditions, or it’s people.
The difference is malicious intent.
Bullies have malicious intent in spades.
People wearing the garb of a culture they were not born into, do not.
That’s not really the same thing. People that appreciate another culture and enjoy and use aspects of a culture in their life and might be offending someone accidentally and a bully who is trying to harm someone deliberately are different. Intentions do actually mean something.
That is exactly white savior complex. Other cultures aren’t troubled children that need us white folk to come save them from other people sharing their culture.

See I can make a stupid, asinine argument too

I won’t disagree there’s much more nuance than I even attempted to capture.
I’ll disagree if you think the person I responded to cares about that one bit vs just complaining about the woke mob of social justice warriors.
That is exactly white savior complex. Other cultures aren’t troubled children that need us white folk to come save them from other people sharing their culture.
