Parable of the Polygons – a playable post on the shape of society

I wanted to point out one of their conclusions in particular:

> 1. Small individual bias → Large collective bias.

> When someone says a culture is shapist, they're not saying the individuals in it are shapist. They're not attacking you personally.

This is a really important point that gets a lot of arguments hung up on nonproductive "not all men"-type fooforaw lately. If someone says that e.g. gamer culture is sexist, or even if they (perhaps inadvisably) use shorthand and say "gamers are sexist," they are not saying that I and every other single person who plays games is personally sexist.

They are saying that, and they are acting like that.

Asking people to agree that they are not is simply a shibboleth.
