#lots and lots of ableism
People will reinvent eugenics in a #woke way sooner or later. The idea that people should not be attracted to the disabled because it’s fetishizing the power you have over them, the idea that dating someone short is at all comparable to pedophilia, the idea that no one outside of your own race can ever truly understand your experiences and therefore no one outside of your own race could ever truly love you… like, we’re not there yet, but every so often I’ll see a truly rancid take and think “Now why does that sound familiar?”
oh don’t worry they’ve been doing this for years
Yeah all of that is full on shit that I have seen already, it’s not coming it’s HERE.
