I saw the double standards creep in around 2014, about the time they started pushing the trans thing. The Transactivists would claim they were under threat, but could produce no receipts. However real women (AKA TERFS) were being chased off line and sometimes even out of jobs and living spaces often with threats of rape or death. To back this up activists published pictures of their weapons and selves 'bloodied' by threatened violence on 'TERFS'. (See the Degenderettes and their weapons display at the SF Public Library) People wonder where all the real feminists went on the subject of trans...well they were deplatformed and their lives and families threatened. In the meantime platforms like Twitter and Facebook allowed the death threats to stay up while silencing the mere voicing of the fact that men are not women.

Since that was so successful, it has continued to be weaponized in the service of 'The Message'. Just look at the current state of games journalism vs the gamers. The same thing is happening there. The same people who winge about their victimhood announce 'Bounties' for the killing or silencing of their critics and nothing is done on social media about it.

This mission creep is certainly coming for all other discourse and probably is already there in many fields. I'm not sure what the answer is, but the problem has been growing a long time and, like most of the war on our culture, it was started out in places where most people wouldn't notice for years, I mean, what normie cares about 'that gay stuff' or 'gamergate'? By the time the cracks showed it would be so entrenched as to be part of the landscape of both law and society.

Makes my skin crawl. Seems so bleak.
