REQUEST

This stamp was created in regards to the saddening ideology that's been spreading lately that hateful people use to justify their bigotry. It comes from the modern redefinition of what it means to discriminate:

POWER + PREJUDICE

This redefinition has come about in order to make it socially acceptable to be outwardly hateful towards whites, Christians, males, heterosexuals and "cis scum", without being labeled as prejudiced. It makes it easier for instances of discrimination to be ignored, denied, and causes the victims to be disregarded and criticized if they feel unfairly treated.

The redefinition is further supported by the belief in "eye for an eye" problem solving. For too long, it had been socially acceptable to criticize minorities, and still is, though to a lesser extent. Therefore, people believe it is time for the majority to "have their turn", or "a taste of their own medicine", which only leads to further conflicts and an increased divide between people of differing lifestyles/beliefs.

It's sad.
