        I think you’re right, except for those who are already part of a marginalized group. They’ve known that appearance is deceiving for a very long time.

        Now that these supposed angels have expanded the list of their targets, everyone is losing it all of a sudden.

      what do you mean by “they,” which “they” are we looking at here? i recognize the roach of course. i’m pretty well-read in terms of terminally online nazi agitprop but i’m not familiar with this npc person. the op from axolotl is about a different person than this.

          right, ok, that’s a new one. great. they’re multiplying. yeah this post is definitely about the ongoing “emiru controversy.” and as i noted in my top level comment, this was instigated by her head mod and her irl best friend appears by all accounts to be the roach himself so. yeah, i really like your take that people aren’t prepared for the coming glut of outright soy-nazis with silly fairy light rooms doing moldy agitprop in a squishmallow, soft voice aesthetic.

            Yeah, they gotta’ keep reinventing their presentation of themselves and their ideas because non-reactionaries wisen up to it and reactionaries in their quest for cruelty need something new or more extreme to sate themselves.

            I’ve noticed more right-wing youtubers are stealing the breadtube aesthetic and avoiding the angry “I HATE FEMINISTS” presentation to fake being pseudo-intellectuals or at least ‘normal’. I guess the tell on those is gunna’ be “the studies they cite are fake or don’t say what they claim they do” but IDK.

                Non-reactionaries, I think, have caught on to the “common sense” rhetoric.

                Edit: like, if a guy puts “i believe in common sense” in his dating profile most women are going to clock his politics pretty quickly, I think.
