I watched the whole video and it just yells I read a 2010 Kotaku article about gamergate and a 7th grade English class. Why was this video relevant to this?
Liberation of whom through these memes? Femcels? The folks who are choosing to associate with incels? How are they being oppressed? Do they have to shower and stop living in their fantasies? Is that the oppression?
The person uptop made it seem to be a whole movement and inspiring. When it just sounds like it’s a bunch of keyboard NEETs who don’t talk to people. Wait yeah, it’s just incels.
It’s commisseration, really
Can you just let some traumatized autisitic transfems (and others) have that?
No? Yes? Doesnt matter. Thats the point of the video, it’s not about you. Thats also part of the point of parody’ing incels (which as an aside: the concept of invcel was originally coined by a woman and was meant to be a supportive, all-gender, friendly place – before the right co-opted it.
No, i’m posting this for the next tranzqueer who comes along, who might [like I had] be unaware of these things and tend to gravitate to the Narrative of the Johns without reminders that there is so, so much more nuance, and meaning to be found in the world, beyond the limits of what is scripted, shot, edited, produced and published for the target audience composed of Stanleys & Johns.
So thanks for reading. I did not expect you to watch that whole video, but since you did, I hope your life will be enriched by the appreciation that creations, be they AAA titles or shitty memes, dont need to make sense to your perspective in order for them to have great value, both to marginalized audiences who benefit from seeing themselves humanized, but also to the rest, because in order to dehumanize someone else you first demhumanize a tiny part of yourself – and art can heal that, too.
When you’re accustomed to privilege, the liberation of others feels like oppression.
Two genders, men and political Two races, white and political.
So yeah, you’re not coming off as defensive or entitled at all /s

Nevermind, move along.
