𝐿𝒶𝓃𝒶 "not a poet"

Scripts for cishet white men who want to be better allies:

- Bro that's really fucked up
- Don't say shit like that around me
- I won't let you talk about them that way
- That's a disgusting opinion to have
- Say that again around me and we're going to have a problem
- Shut the fuck up dude

𝐿𝒶𝓃𝒶 "not a poet"

Important: don't laugh. Don't give them the permission to pretend it's a "joke". Say this with a completely deadpan face.

@Lana Honestly, sometimes it's enough to just ask "What do you mean?".

(And then follow up with one of the above as they start to backpedal.)

Tried it a lot. Works wonders. It usually resulted in confusion, which really undermines their confidence.

@rad OH uses silence. The 'I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that' type of silence. It is effective. @donw @Lana @inthehands

I’ve personally found that to be extremely •ineffective•, but you may have a way of pulling it off that actually works, I guess.

@inthehands He has. @rad @donw @Lana

Oops, him, not you! Sorry, totally missed the “OH” part. Regardless, if it works, then more power!
