Over the past decade we've debated language and representation to a degree beyond what made actual progress. There were wins here and there but we've basically just given oppressive institutions a new way to look friendly, and they're not even trying to do that anymore.
I don't have a solution to the problem but for me personally I'll still watch what I say to reasonable degree. Like I hope I'm just ahead of the curve when I say "we need to get woke again".
The moderation rollback is one thing, particularly because it didn't seem to be working in the first place. Like there's multiple family members of mine who's lives have been made measurably worse due to facebook shit, I'm not sure how it could be worse. It's the weird gleeful rollback on everything else that gets to me, from employee support programs disappearing to removing pride themes from apps to removing pads from mens toilets (???). All this needless shit and conservatives still hate facebook
That there was a muppet show pilot that was basically the same as the rest of the show, but was received differently because of a deliberately off putting subtitle, is very very funny to me. Henson was a mad man
Mainstream 90s gay movies are often shockingly good, and all have worse reputations than they deserve because they got dropped into a rotten cultural moment. Philadelphia and The Crying Game come to mind.
