[us] pol, cancel/purity culture
https://unherd.com/2020/01/cast-out-how-knitting-fell-into-a-purity-spiral/ One of my twitter friends linked this story in relation to me venting about the increased presence of folks in furry -maliciously- attacking and hunting ABDL folks, ageplayers, and everyone in that sphere to the extent of me seeing an artist pleading with folks that 'they don't associate with ageplay, please stop attacking me'
which is so unbelievably fucked up to me and infuriating.
suffice to say, it's not just Furry

@Oneironott I really should get mouthier about this issue, it's one I've been concerned about since The Old Days.
I still wonder if this isn't just what happens when you have a social movement that's all passion and no theory. Someone really needs to bring a little formalized critical skill to these Eager Young Activists, not to mention a little history of what happens to these movements...
I know for me it's definitely There I Go But For The Grace Of things like the Principia Discordia, Buddhism, and all the absurdist literature I read in college. I still managed to be a fanatic, but at least I was a fanatic who could admit when I was full of shit sometimes. ;)
