I think that may be a bit cynical, maybe the reason it appealed to so many people is because it's seen as funny and a meme. Unlike our movement...

But you know what, you're right, I would have never expected the ENTIRE internet to be talking about it. It's weird that this happened.

It feels to me like a dam bursting, like many people have been penting up frustration with woke gender stuff for a while and have been waiting for a safe outlet to express it.

Definitely this. Laughter has always been the way to criticize those you're not allowed to criticize.

I was banned for a day for simply using the 🤣 emoji on TwoX. A male virgin was asking about sex there even though there's a sex subreddit. Men-loving women were upset and telling me to be nice. Smh I hate hypersensitivity.

Yeah, that's likely part of it. It could be timing, too, that the equality act is being talked about more and conservatives are talking about this stuff more.

I think all the sports bills in state legislatures and also Rand Paul taking on Ben-Franklin-In-A-Wig Rachel Levine about puberty blockers have also helped raise awareness. I have actually seen puberty blocker comments on non-GC and non-concerned parents accounts.
