RECLAIMING "SOFT/RAD-ANTIS" TERMS!
New terms: "hard-antis" and "light-antis"
╭────── · · 🐜 · · ──────╮
If you are/have been in (ru) anti-shipper community, you probably know abt problems in these two terms.
Let's start with "soft-antis". The term itself was coined by a pro-shipper, which is why many antis don't want to use it. Many also claim that soft-antis are supposedly tolerant or even positive about pro-shipping community, which contradicts the very criteria of antis. This is the primary reason for the term's reclaim.
What about "rad-antis"? It's a similar situation. Many believe that to be a radantis, one must be a pro-harasser, a doxxer, a raider, and so on. Because of this, many antis dislike rad-antis term and try to avoid those who use it. I think this is a pretty compelling reason for a reclaim.
