Twitter is a hell-site, but what's new there. The current queer discourse is rather exhausting, how many times do we have to go through this phase where everyone wants to be a label gatekeeper and tell other people what they are or aren't and hat they can and can't feel? It's abhorrent the amount of radfem rhetoric teens are spitting out today. It's so worrisome, the amount of aggression and hate these kids can pull out whenever someone has a less "conventional" identity or one that's openly fluid.
It seems we're all being attacked for the grievous crime of queering queer identities. It seems tumblr and twitter has trained so much of the queer youth into believing that sexuality and gender are these static things that you are undeniably born with and can never move and that everyone most fit into one singular box with a list of rules on what everyone can and can't do according to that box. When did queerdom become as performative and neat as cishet-normativity?
I can't help but note that this discourse all comes with the raise in discourse over what is "morally acceptable" content in fandom. It's just radfem bullshit all over again. The policement of queer labels, anti-porn ideology, and victim blaming.
It's stressful as all hell.
I think it's undeniable at this point that capitalist social media is at the heart of this issue. The lack of moderation, combined with the fact that capital based social media makes money off the engagement of discourse and hate, makes the perfect breeding ground for radfems and other exclusionists to thrive and indoctrinate.
