ironically the radfems went after the unflamboyant gay men first (cis-hos?) as "doubly patriarchal," and only got kicked out of Tumblr when they went after trans women--yet most gays are still picked on by the painfully woke as "straight-passing" or whatever lets them justify themsleves

Well, it's not as ironic as it sounds.

Everyone claims it's "Puritanism but make it woke", when it's much more likely to be "The crybullies have realized by now that they have no power over the people who truly do not give a shit about them and they never will, but they still like the chance to be the bully for once- so they're settling for bullying the people on their side even harder because those people have proven they'll listen and do the bully's bidding."

it's interesting how the process operated like a star collapsing into an unobservable singularity--"straight" gays (and trans men implicitly) get thrown out for being mannish, then radfems thrown out for being transphobic; then the Black men got the boot, then white trans women, then Black people not in wheelchairs, then Black people for two-spiritsTM (until they were all outed as Pretendians), and then I forget, it's all a hot sack of rats

plus social media is narcissist catnip

The Oppression Olympics, taken to its natural conclusion, becomes "we must find the single most oppressed human on earth and make them the God of this new world." As such, the real goal is "find what makes YOU that most oppressed person."
