(Anonymous) 2019-04-09 12:47 am (UTC)(link)The style invokes so-called 'Tumblr-esque' aesthetics that are in popular use with many 20-something-year-old artists and for some people the style is also associated with a particular kind of personality type ubiquitous to modern social media, one with 'SJW' political leanings.

(Anonymous) 2019-04-09 01:39 am (UTC)(link)One, generally pointing to dysfunctional features of online discourse is not the same as making an argument about the ideological affiliations of any particular group. It certainly is not a warrant for describing leftists as 'authoritarian', definitely not without a lot of further elaboration (which I don't think De Boer satisfactorily does).
Two, it's one thing to just say, in general, that our norms of discourse are generally bad, and that online tends to have a lot of dumb mobs. And of course, this is true in some sense. But just vaguely waving at some idealized vision of The Real New York, or 1970s queers, is not really adequate engagement with the difficulties of sincere engagement and discourse. Certainly not a solution to it. How do we engage with people in a way that's consistent with our beliefs about human dignity and egalitarianism while still giving people room to make mistakes? How do we balance different people's needs in different spaces for discourse when those needs and desires conflict? These are real problems, and I think people are struggling with them in a way that's pretty honest and sincere, and writing it off as 'everyone who yells at someone else on the internet is a cop' is not really a great approach to the problem.
And if that's the problem you have with the discourse, I'm not sure if making blanket statements about SJW authoritarians is really consistent with that interpretation, btw
