Ok honest question, who was their actual target audience?
I know there are a lot of people that are performative radicals that might spout this kind of thing, but you get them in a room alone and they're not at all like that. I don't think I've met anyone who read Jezebel unironically
- SeenNotHeard 3y agoI have. They read it religiously, and uncritically treated its journalism as the truth. I thought they were being ironic, until I got to know them better.
- tonfreed 3y agoI'd like to meet these people. I just flat don't understand where they're coming from
- maximinus_thrax 3y ago> you get them in a room alone and they're not at all like that You probably have a better quality circle of acquaintances/coworkers than me. I often iteract IRL with people who are very much just like that.
- tonfreed 3y agoI think a lot of people act that way because they fear retribution. I've never met a true believer behind closed doors, but I'm pretty openly conservative so maybe people know I'm not going to judge them if they don't parrot the newest internet trend
- at_a_remove 3y agoHrm. I could probably say "The women of Metafilter" but that's kicking the can down the road a bit.
