lol y is triggered used like this
ive had a lot of Fun Experiences w that kinda stuff idk. nothing in games tho lmao just irl and online. most common is ppl just not knowing enough abt it so they believe in all the stereotypes and say ignorant stuff. often u can explain to them and theyll be nicer but a lot of the time people ****ing hate being told theyre doing anything wrong so they will get all angry and defensive.
some things that stuck w me the most happened in school. my last school was filled with transphobes and homophobes and there were a lot of incidents. we had classes where those people would go on a rant about how lgbt people should die, there were transphobic and homophobic rumours all the time and people would yell out things like "gross" or w/e whenever lgbt things were mentioned.
Most of the time the teachers didnt even say or do anything, they just let it happen. for a long time there were rumours that i was A Filthy Transsexual because i had short hair, used to speak up about gender issues and i'd argue against transphobia. not many things were said directly to my face but suddenly everyone needed to discuss how gross and weird trans people are.
in the cafeteria once around ten people were talking with a teacher about it and they really said some hurtful stuff. (like how trans people are mentally ill which obviously means that they are wrong and not actually another gender, how disgusting trans people are, how they should die etc.) the teacher just sat there like
and said something like "i understand that thats ur opinion but other people have other opinions!"
the thing is that they knew that this was targeting certain students and they still didnt do anything because apparently it is more important that you let people express their opinion on how certain students should die than to make sure students feel safe and arent being bullied in school :'))
