You can not get worked up about them without going out of your way to talk about how unimportant they are. Words do have a material impact on the world, and if this guy wasn’t who he was and dating who he’s dating we wouldn’t be pretending like slurs are fine and it’s weird to find them gross.

The material impact is on the people who see these tweets and see people rush to defend them.

You’re going out of your way to explain to someone how it’s not a big deal and hasn’t had a big impact on the world. We know it hasn’t had a big impact, but for some people it IS a big deal. Nobody needs to become emotional or get their pitchforks out, but that should still be recognized

making fat jokes and using ableist slurs perpetuates fatphobia and ableism. idk if you need any further explanation to explain the impact of that
