I remember a few years ago a bunch of people I knew from college, the slacktivist types anyway. Were all going around on Facebook complaining about how "cancel culture isn't real" or some shit and it was quite funny when they ended up on the wrong side of it and were all like "throwing out blatant accusations of groomers is wrong" or some shit.

I mean really a lot of people don't understand that the witch hunt is a very old concept that has existed long before the witch hunts for which the concept is named. Mob justice really. "Cancel culture" is simply the latest term to come out describing it.

And I think it's entirely rooted in the us vs them narrative that most people tend to fall back onto. I've found it difficult to discuss truly offensive topics with most people because they just shy away from the discussion but it makes it impossible to really get a good understanding of the idea if you do that.

I call it the tree of knowledge paradox. Eat the fruit and gain the knowledge of good and evil and become like God, but of course, knowing evil also means you are evil.

Was that way with the trans issues and gay issues growing up, what do we know about these? Well we don't talk about them in public or in private and if you dare to look into it or start exploring the ideas, the normal people will shun you, rightly to some degree I think as it does serve as a kind of social immune response to viral ideas. But I think the internet has changed that dynamic entirely as ideas no longer require people to be in direct contact with each other to spread ideas. And can allow even the most fringe ideas to find others to build off of for better and for worse.

It's always seemed ironic to me that Apple chose the apple with a bite taken out of it as their logo. Seems apt to the current situation I think. The iphone especially at the boom of the smartphone, essentially put the whole of human knowledge, both good and evil, into the palms of the innocent. And while I don't agree with the people who believe that knowledge itself is a sin, you can't truly understand evil without making it a part of you.

If it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey.

mean gay men don't fucking care about turning off women so they'll sometimes say the funniest fucking things to the fag hags that won't take a hint. It's hilarious. I can't imagine very many would have the patience for this shit unless they are bisexual or just pretending to be gay in the first place.

Like why would you give a fuck about hurting the feelings of some transman you aren't into? What are they gonna do? Cry about it? Like a woman? Lolol.

I knew a couple people I suspected were "transmen" in college and they all seemed like they were trying hard to compensate for something. Utterly lacked any confidence and just thought being a man meant going and attacking anything that made you look weak. It's like peak girlboss behavior. "There's no gender difference in strength!"

Lol ok go join the weight lifting competition and prove us wrong then.

"No I can't do that!"

Lol ok.

"Stop harassing me!"

Lol ok.

"Stop ignoring me!"

Nope.
