Which is a perfect time to bring up every group we have these days; how one person or a small group now somehow represent the majority.
Anita Sarkeesian = All feminism is now cancer
ISIS = A group of several thousand now represent a religion of a billion people
Those black kids on the train = BLM movement loses all respect
GamerGate = All gamers hate women
Westboro Baptist Chirch = All Christians are scum
It doesn't matter how many articles you read or videos you read on the worst part of an overall group, they are the vocal minority and do not represent the group at large.
I get the feeling in these times there are those that lie in wait for these events to happen where someone/some group uses their ideas and beliefs to do inflict harm on the world, then those waiting to show flawed they are jump up a proclaim "see their movement is irrelevant and stupid and we shouldn't support them"!
The next major event to happen would be for a gay person shooting a nightclub of straight people and then those accusers to then make the statement "See, LGBT groups are horrible too. Their movement is stupid. They aren't oppressed"!
Again, ignore the fact we've had countless black people shot by the police or given fair rights, it's that BLM is now not worth listening to because this one bellend used his movement to kill innocent people. So this one rare instance where a black civillian killed white people officers means we're now on equal terms again? Nah.
I'm not behind the idea of BLM myself but I have no issue with it.
