It's the term for people whose thoughts and feelings are so unique that they have to be an entirely new genre of human.

It is a very serious real thing, and not at all the modern equivalent of wearing a t-shirt that says "You laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at you because you're all the same"

it's not, it's just people who don't feel if the strict gender roles of male or female align with their identity. it says a lot more about the people who get mad about it than the people who feel that way when people make posts like this.

Remember when people freaked out about Garfield being non-binary? (This is canon btw)

Actually it is a real thing, and this post says way more about you than about non-binary people.

One thing I like to do is ask white males if they are between the ages of 15 and 24, so I know to be extra careful as they are statistically the most likely to commit a violent crime.

see thats where i hate the whole "well we dont want to censor anything, we are just critics" no you do want to, your just slightly smarter then the moral majority and jack thompson and others. you hide behind critcal theory/gender studies/first semester humanities and use it to bludgeion poo poo you dont like. for every good culture critic, there seems to be 5 lovely ones. instead of something like, "this has some issues and problamatic ellements" its "this was made by evil racists/sexists and should be destoryed and if you like it, your racist/sexist/encouraging toxic masculinty".

There's a difference between criticising the content of a book and calling out everyone who reads it (which includes you, the critic who read the book in order to condemn it) as a bad person. Like, most critics worth their salt don't actually want to censor anything and it's totally fine to come out hard against a piece of media or entertainment you find execrable and reactionary and actively discourage folk from reading it because it's toxic or whatever, the dumb play here isn't having an opinion about a book but the active demonisation of folk who've bought it or read it.

edit: yeah pretty much what you said lol ^^^^^^^^^

what until these rascals discover that pieces of media from books to movies can be open to multiple readings and interpretations, two people can even read the exact same book and have vastly different interpretations of it

you could write a whole mountain of text on the ideal of trusting what media you consume and your opinions about them to random people you don't know on social media, and applying some value of injustice on the simple act of reading a loving book. calling it "entertainment at the expense of a marginalized group's suffering" is really fuckin' rich, since twitter especially is a dopamine rush of gamified emotional manipulation. it's absolutely toxic and hosed up and has created a seemingly infinite number of angry mobs seeking to harass and humiliate for the satisfaction of their own superiority over another. it's like some planets of the apes poo poo, really.

i had a amazing literature professor who was annoyed that people couldn't see that spectacle could also be art or have powerful themes/ideas, even if it wasnt the deepest thing or properly handled, everything has a positive value in one way or another. alot of the "critics' believe everything has to be done a certain way for it to be acceptable.

in this case, you can tell that these people are actually just white people reveling in the exercise of power using diversity as an dogma they actually fundamentally don't get

i guess they have that in common with fundamentalists too, and in the process they're actually doing exactly what they accuse others of: using the oppression of others for self-agrandizment
