I will suggest that labeling yourself with terminology like "pure blood" that has been used almost exclusively by history's (and fiction's) villains might be partly responsible for the public's hesitance to "give a shit" about you.
The optics do matter, and using a term like "pure blood" honestly seems to me like a term that was injected into this movement by an opposing force to make you play right into the narrative. I have a really hard time believing that was a term submitted into the language here by anyone you'd consider a friend.
I’m not offended whatsoever. But you either want people to give a shit about you, or you don’t give a shit about what people think about you. You can’t demand people take your position seriously with your middle finger also pointed at them.
