What's zavarka like, if you don't mind me asking? I've never tried it before (and have just remembered I'm overdue a post about tea).
I think you're right about Didi, though I'd not been able to put my finger on it before.
I think part of the reason many people on the internet hear requests to check privilege as an insult is because sometimes it is used as one. Certainly not all the time. But I've seen "requests" to check privilege made in quite an aggressive manner and I think that makes people less likely to respond favourably even when the requests are made with genuine respect. It makes it difficult for people who are genuinely trying to engage in dialogue.
