I was with the article right up until it used a screenshot from 4chan.

sigh

Yeah, semantically the argument makes some some sense (though in cultural practice it doesn't quite fit), but putting transphobic comments and homophobic jokes without any kind of warning is shitty. I get the joke at the end is meant to turn it on it's head, but again, because the idea doesn't quite fit culturally it just falls flat.

I wouldn't know. I legimitmately stopped reading it as soon as I saw 4chan.

Can you recommend any blogging sites that allow for spoilering content?

[-] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

There's ways to hide content using divs in html etc.

I don't blog, so no, but a content or trigger warning at the top would have gone a long way.

Well, the article isn't that deep anyways so you didn't miss out on much... And the overly specific categorization of swarm genders feels more like taxonomy than someone actually making the point that gender is more diverse than mere arbitrary labels. I'm sure there are many much more nuanced articles out there.
