I fucking hate this shit.
Liberal tone policing is one of many forms of classism that ultimately functions to ensure the only people with voices are those who conform to speaking in a specific manner of speaking determined by the bourgeois who control the platform. It is essentially controlling tone to shut out people who speak differently to the middle income suburban crowd of people with fairly decent upbringings.
It shuts out everyone who might have a rougher background, internationally it shuts out everyone that comes from cultures where rougher backgrounds are more accepted socially, it shuts down speech from cultures where what we call "bants" in the UK is just socially acceptable and expected.
I grew up in squats. I didn't "speak right" for a long time. I learned to speak in the sniff your own farts style that online liberals expect and I switch between tones based on audience where I feel I'm forced to. Not everyone can do this and a huge portion of the working class who don't speak right but have perfectly valid (and sometimes good) opinions are shut out just because some fucking liberal can't take the fact that they pepper the things the write with swearsies and fruitful imagery.
It's classist and I fucking hate it. I will always loudly oppose tone policing. I do not give a fuck if someone is rude while they say correct things, they should not be shut out. Doing so is bourgeois moralism.
Anyone celebrating this just because it's Empanada is wrong.
could've fooled me
