Ngl I got mad beef with people that assume celebrities are straight just because they refuse to label themselves as queer in a climate where that could very much put them at risk and force them to pick a label for themselves when they're still figuring stuff out

"The powerful want to say that we are entering a dangerous new era where ‘people disliking things en masse’ has coalesced into some kind of crowdsourced [weapon], firing on arbitrary targets from orbit and vaporizing their reputations...The use of mass social sanction gives the less powerful a weapon against the more powerful, so long as they can mobilize loudly and persistently. This is not new. Shame and laughter are vital tools for freedom...
