its kind of crazy that the average online person is so rigid and dogmatic. time on social media directly correlates to mental rigidity and lameness. I’ve seen it come over 50 year old women as they discover tiktok, self diagnose with adhd and become trans crusaders. It can happen at any point.

The nature of the rigidity on the queer left especially seems to be a list of things that are “good”, and immediate discomfort at anything critical of them (there’s also a list of bad things and immediate discomfort with anyone speaking positively of them.) Progressive people with the right beliefs all open their mouths to emit memetic statements of affirmation when good thing is mentioned, like religious people murmuring amen.

“I’m thinking of making an onlyfans.” “Omg go girl!! get that bag” “Use that face card” etc

If you say something contrary their hackles raise and it’s this uncomfortable energy like something is out of place and they need to fix it. Don’t you know Thing is Good?

“Be careful, it’s really exploitative and hard to make money at first. You have to invest a lot of money to even have a chance if making anything”

*everyone gets uncomfortable*

“Okay but It’s her right to do it if she wants and it’s awesome that she’s empowering herself like this” “Yeah we totally support you” “With that body? She’ll be rolling in cash”

People will either quickly try to dismiss you or explain to you why you’re wrong with the energy of someone who expects groupthink (oh honey maybe you just missed the memo that Thing is Good, let me clue you in) and get suspicious if you don’t immediately fold, or in a larger group there will be this concerted effort to drown you out, to keep the space Good and Right. Disagreeing with someone or even just bringing up a real concern is seen as shaming in a lot of contexts (kink, gender, sex trade, beauty rituals, misogynistic phrases and beliefs) and the group immediately jumps to “protect” the shamed individual and shame the shamer.

#I will say I’ve seen rightoid males act similarly where they get really angry about things like graffiti and expect everyone to agree.#but haven’t been in homogeneously conservative spaces enough to speak to the groupthink vibe there #interestingly things like plastic surgery and beauty rituals are the same on the left and right rn so the responses among women are probabl #the same
