I think its good to respect peoples choices. Some though want you to believe the same as them. And if you dont, in their mind, you arent being respectul, in fact youre being prejudiced which isnt true. There are people who are extreme in their views and if you dont accept it (not just respect) they will hate you for it.
For example, ive seen posts saying if youre not black its racist for you to draw black characters. The post wasnt even saying avoid black stereotypes, it was saying dont draw black characters period. Now does that make any sense? Thats an extreme view. I can respect your choice to believe that. But i dont accept it.
One arguement ive had with someone is the use of romanization when learning a language. For example (this is pinyin), you can write 你好 as nihao. Or こんにちは is konnichiwa. The 'roman' letter is romanization. During a discussion about asian stereotypes and yellowface usage, someone said they were tired of koreaboos using oppa, saranghae everywhere and all romanization is harmful. I disagreed. Some need this to learn a language. Using romanization is fine, but projecting stereotypes isnt good. She disagreed. She said ALL romanization is yellowface and racist. And told me because im not Asian, I couldnt disagree with her because she was the minority group we were talking about. And i was 'literally being racist and projecting asian stereotypes' by disagreeing with her. Can I respect her right to have that view? Sure. Do I accept it? Of course not.
Some believe gender doesnt exist, or is different from sex. Some believe you can have multiple genders. Some think using gender is unnecessary or some clothing is unnecessarily gendered.
I do not agree with this nor believe it. Can i accept your choice to believe it? Sure. Can I respect you as a human being? Of course. Do I think you should be harassed, lose rights, be attacked for this? Absolutely not. Do i accept it? No. But I can still respect you. If you cant respect my perspective either, then theres nothing I can do for you.
