I love how this "expanding brain" meme STILL manages to exclude any kind of nuance after four fucking attempts-- especially the possibility that _some_ attempts to say "they didn't even have a concept of transgender, let's give this some actual context and detail" could be helpful and supportive, and some could be harmful and reactionary, based on the ACTUAL FUCKING CONTENT. You do realize these four options are not mutually exclusive, yes, my oh so very young allies?
What really pisses me off is that line "is an attempt to deny." I fucking hate it, hate it, HATE IT when either side's political propaganda relies on assuming every single person who partakes in a similar act of speech has a similar motivation.
@zebratron2084 that's not even politics, ideology, or principles; it's sheer raw *tribalism*. "you are not a member of my tribe; you show cultural identifiers of being a member of the tribe I hate; therefore, I attribute all the properties of the tribe I hate to you and now have no need to actually listen to or think about anything you have to say."
been thinking a lot about social feedback/reinforcement, tribalism, and online community lately, and how much of a mess it all is nowdays. :P
@green Does it surprise you in the least that it's the Questionable Content guy that I've been talking about this whole time? :>
@zebratron2084 *sigh* nope. disappoint, yes, but I really should know better than to idealize artists I like any more... it's never worked out great in the past. >____<
