Like I see some ppl saying that they are "taking back" the "weird" thing and using it against conservatives because they hate it. But that's exactly the same reasoning that was used with the Trump Putin kissing shit. "Yeah we're using it aGaInSt Putin!" It was still homophobic. And I get the same feeling with this "weird" shit.

Plus, do the liberals actually give a shit about "weird" ppl like LGBT, nerds, anime fans, social outcasts, etc.? Absolutely not. They are just weaponizing this shit. But when it no longer suits them, they'll call anti-genocide Gaza protesters "weird."

So anyways I'm not really up for celebrating the "weird" shit. It might be funny to see conservatives cringe (for the time being, for all we know this shit might blow over), but I just get icky vibes from the whole thing.

    Knowing that my Blue MAGA parents who emotionally abused me for my neurodivergence are probably eating up this discourse, yeah it definitely bothers me too. Like, yeah all these bourgeois politicians are disgusting and disconnected from reality, but "weird" is too often an ableist epithet for me to be comfortable with how its being used. Also the fact that Dems are just as "weird" as Republicans makes it doubly annoying.
