I am elevating this from megathread post to real post
I regret looking at X almost every time
This weird discourse has done actual psychic damage I think
Can someone make this make sense to me? Not uncritically adopting the weaponization of language traditionally, normally even, used to attack queer and neurodiverse people against less-lib American reactionaries by Democrats makes you a fed? It’s not a hill I would die but yeah
We are truly reaching levels of normality never seen before, regardless of how not weird and normal it is in many sections of society to be a turbo-reactionary
Have we entered a period where internet leftists and K-hivestandard internet left-libs become almost indistinguishable? I feel like I’m stuck in the event horizon of a terminally online singularity, spiraling toward a center of infinite onlineness
The most online people I have ever seen are telling other online people to log the fuck off, the 🥥🌴 usernames are joining with the 🍉🇵🇸 usernames in fed-jacketing people, the Democrat campaign is reposting dril tweets
We are cooked, the 
internet singularity consumes us all

I’m surprised the discourse went with queerphobic instead of ableist.
I think it’s wrong and silly. It’s just someone trying to have discourse ™. But I also think it’s silly that the hexbear party line is that “stupid” and “idiot” are ableist words, so what do I know?
I’m neurodivergent, queer and I was literally a minor once. Back when I was a gay little weirdo I got bullied a lot and “weird” wasn’t what people were calling me. At least not as far as I can remember.
I feel like I’m talking in circles, I’m sorry.
Sometimes words are bad, and we all use those words, but the people who run society are seen more and they use the words more. So we get used to the words being used on us and then we see them being used on others and we think it has something to do with us. It doesn’t. Except for the times when the words are actual slurs like the r-word or the n-word.
But suddenly a bad word gets more common usage and online opinion-havers will think it has something to do with them, because that’s just how they are.
Same thing happened with “ok boomer”. People talked about how the dismissal was like that used on ND people or how it was mean to the elderly or something.
You honestly got it, this is an example of someone creating discourse for the sake of discourse to stop people from using the term “weird” against oppressors (either knowingly or unknowingly). This is because weird is a term to label those outside the societal consensus, and so fascists and reactionaries are very afraid of being called weird as it signals they are now outside the societal consensus while what they hate, minority groups/lgbtq groups/neurodiverse peoples are normalized or becoming normalized in their oh so valuable consensus of “normal”.
