      Not to be an asshole, but…

      Is an asshole.

      Not to be racist, but…

      Is racist.

      Not to be [shitty human traits], but…

      Is [shitty human trait].

      I dislike it when people do that. You can’t excuse your wrongness by admitting you’re wrong beforehand…

      Next you’ll tell me that suggesting to look both ways before crossing the road is blaming the victims of traffic incidents.

        Your comment was completely needless, not wrong.

          And people here are projecting their anxiety about the situation towards an unimportant comment rather than at the people who are the real criminals here. It shows immaturity.

            Pretty sure people are capable of calling out your victim blaming bullshit and acknowledging who the real criminals are at the same time. If the comment is unimportant to you just admit you were wrong and move on instead of making ridiculous arguments like this.
