:::caution
Neutrality in the face of oppression is to choose the side of the oppressor.
:::
We understand that not everyone may be aware of the struggles that underprivileged classes face. Asking questions to inform yourself is good.
But attempting to "bow out" of a discussion, or to claim you are remaining neutral when an under-represented person shares their experiences with oppression and anti-* legislation, is just as bad as siding against those underprivileged classes.
As such, behaviour like this is considered a violation of our Code of Conduct and will be actioned accordingly.
