#i hate q slur discourse so im gonna vent about it here instead of commenting
#but i do kind of hate how queer is used so universally as ~queer theory~ or ~queer lit~ or whatever
#a) it isnt inclusive. reclamation is a complicated and personal process and its kind of unfair to hoist that on everyone
#b) even when slurs are reclaimed like. it still feels weird to have them be used in the NYT
#and in academia and shit
#its also really intetesting be the 'reclamation' is more spatial than temporal
#like at the same time my university offered queer history courses
#i heard someone say 'ive never seen one of those queers. they know better than to come around here'
#its not that im opposed to its reclamation or use
#but it feels soooooooo disingenuous to act like reclamation is a finished process and it feels like
#to have it be used to advertise shitty YA lit to me
#is just an insult. y'know? and academics that go 'queer just means difference or deviation from the norm!'
#instead of a word people use to enforce SPECIFIC rules about who can perform femininity and when and how
#like when i hear the word i think of a) the shitty conservatives from my hometown
#b) academics whose theories i either find vastly overrated or horrifically misinterpreted
#or c) seattle liberals whose experience of ~queerness~ is so vastly different than mine i sometimes wonder if we speak the same language
#its a word that should be reclaimed by screaming and writing it on my arms at a protest
#not by like. having spotify use it as a podcast category
