Put another way: it may seem counterintuitive, but sometimes the best way to maintain a genuinely *inclusive* space is to be intentional about whom you *exclude* (and why).
If this strikes you as wrong, there’s a pretty good chance that you’ve often found yourself in the majority demographic of any given community you’ve joined, and you’ve likely enjoyed a lot of privilege as a result of that. (And you have my condolences.)




![Four panels are arranged in a horizontal row, depicting a simple, cartoon-style comic. Each panel features two mice, one addressing the other. The first panel shows one mouse looking at the other, with a small, cylindrical container labeled "BRAND" between them; the text reads “HAVE YOU SEEN OUR NEW CHRISTMAS AD?”. The second panel shows one mouse looking dejected, responding to the other; the text reads “I CAN’T AFFORD TO EAT THIS MONTH”. The third panel shows the same two mice, again with the container between them, and the text reads “WE MADE IT WITH AI”. The final panel shows the same two mice, with the container, and the same text “WE MADE IT WITH AI”. The mice are yellow with round ears and small, black eyes, and the background is a pale, off-white color. The comic is signed "IRREGULARGALAXydoods" and "[@]IG_DOODS" in the bottom left and right corners, respectively.](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/577/567/542/485/768/original/e271d13ab9880140.png)
