Yeah, let's go with that. Anything to keep this thread on rails. For the record, I'm really not affiliated with anything, just a guy who has opinions. Call me a conspiracy junkie or whatever but there are articles where people are afraid of these 'libtards' supposedly destroying and subverting traditional American mores. So yeah, demanding respect for girls who thinks of themselves as dogs would be a totally valid concern for them.
Okay, this conversation will not be continuing if you continue to use the term libtards. You are perfectly capable of typing liberals or left-wing people. The point of this forum is to have discussions respectfully, and if you can't stop using insults, you should stop replying.
First of all, a person who thinks they are a dog will never affect you in any way at all. You will not die, you will not be hurt physically, and you will not suffer mentally if you see a person who thinks they are a dog. It doesn't matter what
you or
anyone thinks about an identity. A person's identity is their identity, and no one has the authority to criticize a person's identity.
Second of all, progressivism is not the movement that created this subculture. Progressivism might have created an evironment in which people of this culture feel comfortable expressing their identity, but it did not create this subculture. I guarantee that this subculture has been around long before the progressivism movement began in the U.S.
Third, traditional American mores have been detrimental to the existence of several minority groups, so, yes, progressives are going to fight against the systemic oppression of their identities. People of Color did it, women did it, the lesbian and gay community did it, the bi and trans* community is doing is, and several of those groups are still doing it. Remember that the values of a society are able to change and shift over time. If they didn't, we'd still have slaves, women would still be oppressed, and the LGBT+ community would still be hiding.
Fourth, if you continue to generalize the entire progressivism movement by one subculture that emerged because of the environment created by the movement, you are blatantly misunderstanding what the movement actually is. You should also realize that a liberal is not a progressive, though they may share similar values and an individual can be both at the same time.
