listen, we all know I'm a slut for Discourse, but sometimes leftwing arguments veer so much into rigid hypercategorisation re: What Things Are and Who Is Permitted that I just want to lie down in the dirt with a bourbon IV and some mirrored aviators, you know?

like I get it!! I get that you want there to be Rules about Stuff to Avoid Being Problematic Forever!! but nuance and context still exist!! and leaning on the existence of Rules to Avoid Thinking About Specifics Because They Can Be Difficult is reductive and often bad, actually!!

not to be married to a philosopher on main but I am literally begging some of you to look up the No True Scotsman fallacy and apply it to the concept of People From The Same Marginalisation Can Disagree About Things Without Invalidating Said Marginalisation

I swear to god, one day I'm gonna wake up and there'll be "writing in English is Angelocentric and therefore Bad uwu" discourse on the timeline and on that day I will yeet myself into the ocean to live with the whales
