    Yeah we had a wrecker a while back go full mask-off over pumpkin spice lattes calling them "whore coffee" and making death threats over it. Granted that might just be that one wierdo but hating on PSLs and other "basic" stuff at least was a thing a while back.

      i'm suspicious of anything that gains mainstream popularity in capitalist society.

      there's probably some way to connect liking the bland inoffensive default thing more than any niche interesting alternative to white supremacy and cis-heteronormativity but i'm too tired or not high enough to do it

        There's probably a way to link literally any given thing to white supremacy and cis heteronormativity provided you don't care how tenuous the connection is. Hating mainstream stuff when you don't have an actual reason is just a way to make yourself feel superior. Hell, I could probably draw a more compelling connection from hating basic stuff to white supremacy and cis heteronormativity than you could for the reverse.

        The infamous Drones are Queer paper is probably a good example of how it's possible to draw a connection between virtually any two things if you try hard enough. Or just tell Chat GPT to write an explanation on how X and Y are linked for any two things.
