    Have you played the payload game in TF2? It is a fitting metaphor to civil right and bigotry. On the gender line, american team pushed the payload over TRANS point, cheers to them, but if the opposing team would push it back, the next points are gay marriages, voting rights for women, etc. There are a lot of these lines with their own payloads, in gender discourse, labor discourse, race relations, but the principle stands is that while the previous achievement become somehow normalized, the last one is always up for an attack, and all lives matter rhetoric can be and would be dismissive of the current fight over whatever it is alternative to.
