a love that feels like the sun in your chest
To recognize TERFs, antiâs, fash, incels and other internet gollem, one pattern you need to recognize is this:
- They take some normal human behavior
- Explain it in the darkest, most bad faith way possible
- And then ignore any other, often more realistic, explanation.
A simple example:
A lot of adults watch TV shows about high school relationship drama.
Dark bad faith take: all these adults are obsessing over teenager sex lives because they want to fuck teenagers.
More realistic explanation: a lot of adults have memories of their own high school relationship drama that they like to relive, process, etc through media.
Another realistic explanation: People can empathize with the stories of hobbits, dragons, defense lawyers, plucky detectives, space rebels, talking dogs and teenagers in high school without always having a desire to fuck the characters involved.
It is possible to just enjoy a story as a story without it fulfilling some emotional of sexual need.Like, when you take a tiny step back, it becomes clear that the jump from âadults watch high school dramasâ to âthey all want to fuck teenagersâ is absolute moon logic.
This logic only works if you assume the absolute worst possible things about the group youâre talking about.
This logic works if the only lens you can see a group through is âpredatorâ and you do not acknowledge that they are completely humans who can just do non-predatory things like âenjoying storiesâ.And
assuming the absolute worst possible thingsabout a specific group while denying their complexity and humanity⌠well, that is absolutely key to what TERFs, antiâs, fashos, incels, etc. do.
I would much rather be represented by drag queens, leather daddies and pups than by petulant cowards afraid of their own reflection. You are talking about people who never had the option of being seen as “normal people who just happen to be gay” and channeled their pain into self expression, community and art. And who are you? You define yourself not in terms of who you are and what you create but in terms of who you are not and what you lack. These people you hate only seem larger than life because your life is too small and insignificant to fit them.
