They created the term (I believe on tumblr) and their universal insufferability has caused it to be associated negatively.
- dragonwriter 12y agoEven if there is a group on tumblr or some other community that initiated the term as a self-proclaimed identity, and even if that group still exists and uses the identity, very few of the uses of the term in practice (none that I can find, including those that purport to present definitions of the term) use it to refer to that group particularly. So even if it started as such as self-proclaimed identity, the term isn't generally used in reference to that self-proclaimed identity.
- gnarbarian 12y agoNot personally identifying with an identity that describes you due to negative connotations does not make it any less true. There are plenty of assholes in the world who don't consider themselves to be assholes.
