“Terf” feels a bit like “boomer” to me. People who identified as either didn’t mind being called those words until they realised huge swathes of people dislike terfs and boomers, specifically for their terfy or boomerish worldviews. On this note, I wonder why there isn’t a pejorative for Gen X yet, given Musk is the most prominent of that generation.

If terfs don't like being called terfs, then call them FARTs: Feminism-Appropriating Reactionary Transphobes. Or, keep calling them terfs, because gently caress 'em.

I tried to look at my company's X feed today, to watch some old videos, and not only are timelines competely destroyed when logged out, but the video's glitchy as hell, it would randomly stop playing audio and/or video. And I mean and, as in the video would progress all the way to the end while displaying a soundless freeze-frame. I thought $16b could buy a video player that works better than Windows Media Player trying to play a corrupted and half downloaded Limewire .wmv from 2006, but alas.

Even the top distinctive cultural product of our generation, the First Person Shooter, made by Gen-Xers for Gen-Xers and millenials are getting called BOOMER SHOOTER those days. I am not going to waste my time explaining to anyone calling me a "boomer" that no, the boomers were the rear end in a top hat telling me doom-likes were murder simulators and Night Trap was about raping white women. Because Boomer just mean "old" for those kids anyway, like TERF just mean Transphobe. I mean, imagine being a 15-year-old kid in 2023 and being asked to distinguish meaningfully between the prevailing cultural attitudes of 40-year-olds, 50-year-olds, 60-year-olds, and 70-year-olds Like... what music from their high school proms they're all into I guess would be the equivalent of asking what their respective attitudes toward video games and Dungeons & Dragons are

Boomers have been posting thinkpieces about millennials ruining everything for decades so maybe there's enough cultural presence to differentiate there a bit? Except many 15 year old have millennial parents and "is your dad" is OK boomer personified.

I hope King sticks on Twitter for a while longer, just to mock Musk. He's in a unique position to be able to do so. Troll him, lead him along, then destroy him in front of his adoring sycophants.
