Read on Twitter
I don't know how to break y'alls hearts like this, but every single one of these discourses/discussions existed before Tumblr, before twitter, before you were fucking BORN. I'm fucking begging on my knees people: read a fucking article. A book. Do some googling. Ur not brilliant, https://twitter.com/oshamatricks/status/1248393662850949120
Ur not in some exclusive club. Ur not a discourse pioneer. You're starting at level 1 when someone has already built you a ladder up to level 35, where the capital-D Discourse is. All you gotta do is climb the ladder but y'all would rather roll around in a mud pit 
Tl;dr for a lot of y'all the "discourse" is a performance you do, not an actual thought-intensive dialogue where you try to communicate & learn & grow. It's just you bullshitting.
Discourse isn't being a bully with your friends. Discourse isn't faking a tough attitude online, saying something ignorant & cry-blocking anyone who does anything other than enthusiastically scream for you. Discourse is exhausting & hard work.
This thread isn't about OP btw, idk them/their profile & they're probably fine/great, their post is just like the tenth fucking identical one I've seen in 24 hours so they just so happened to lose the QRT roulette lmfao
