But seriously... I can so see him returning a child to their abusive parents, telling a teenager they're just being adolescent when they try to report abuse, telling off an adult for 'disrespecting' their parents. I didn't call him an enabler lightly.
And there's... There is a particular arrogance people always wear when they enter a safe space for a certain group of people and tell those people You Are All Wrong. I've seen it from people coming into women's safe spaces, queerspace, spaces for people of color, spaces for nonChristian people and nonreligious people, all to tell us, as Someone From The Majority, just how wrong we are. It's the same damn arrogance, and it dripped off him, it really did.
