A lot of people don’t understand anything to do with gender ideology, have put no thought into the ramifications, just want to be tolerant or just don’t want to be called a bigot.

If anything has led to this rise of bigots, it's how many people have started to realize there is no winning the "don't be a bigot" contest when the other side are proud bigots who are openly looking for a reason to justify hating you for not being like them and are perfectly willing to make some shit up if they have to- and as a result, the "show us tolerance and respect" has given way to "we're going to bleed you out of every single possible thing we want from you, and once you've outlived your usefulness to us, we'll say you're a bigot and kick you out."

If anything, this might have led to the rise in troonery in the last decade, as more and more people who realized this's last gasp of stopping was realizing "so the only way to not be a bigot is to literally be one of you? Well, fine, I'm one of you. Tell me I'm a good person now?"

I certainly think the accusation of being a bigot has lost a lot of its sting. To be called a racist in the early 00s meant that you had done something pretty heinous, like Ron Atkinson’s bizarre racist outburst during a live match commentary (for which he was rightly sacked). Now, simply asking where someone/their family is from is labelled as racist, as is mispronouncing someone’s foreign name.

So the devalued term “racist” applied to greater and greater numbers of people, in inverse proportion to the amount of “classical” racism we see in society, means more and more people accused of “racism” are going to shrug their shoulders and ignore it.

I honestly don’t think we would have seen the backlash that we are seeing to Netflix’s Cleopatra had it been released two years ago, it would have received glowing reviews from the critics and anyone denigrating it would have been called a racist by the mainstream. Now, the only people throwing around the racism charge are the cast and producers and no one is paying them any attention as the critics have thoroughly shat on the show in a way that they wouldn’t have dared to before.

I agree with that, but that's the endgame oppressed groups should HOPE happens.

People giving up and saying "fine, I'm a bigot. Whatever." and going about their day is the positive end to this with people realizing it's over- the worst thing that could happen to them is done and there's nowhere to go from it. Unfortunately, we're seeing as many people do the WORST possible ending for those oppressed groups- the people who respond "so that's it? I'm evil no matter what I do? Fine. Then let me be evil.", and deciding to go all in on bigotry- and now we have the literal Nazi POS'es, literal white supremacists, literal people committing atrocities against minority groups- and it seems to be a bunch of people who were called monsters for so long they're beginning to smash villages like a monster.

I think that you’re right that that’s a risk, but I also think that in general people are good and won’t just resort to evil because they’re fed up or feel licensed to by the dilution of the term bigot/racist.

I agree with you that by and large, people are good...however, the fact that we're seeing a rise in legit KKK members/Nazis/generally not good people in recent years makes it seem like too many people ARE resorting to evil.

What's worse for this, as there are these people resorting to evil, the dilution of the term bigot/racist is leading to a "Person Who Cried Wolf" scenario as the Nazis are getting more and more power in the world, marginalized groups have every right complaining and telling people about this, and the actual Nazi "we are openly trying to hurt and kill you and everyone you care about" is being hidden with "this person dared defy me and wouldn't let me have my way" so much good people just respond "aww, poor baby...was the big mean man mean to you because they're mean? There, there..." and blow the whiny bastards off.
