    Those “hostile takeovers” and stigmatization of communities appear to happen rather often.

    Like “hacker”, where the original hackers have dispersed and sought refuge as “makers” or “DIYs”, after being labelled “dangerous and malicious”.

    Or “feminists”, which has become more and more synonymous for “feminazi”.

    Or the whole lgbtq+ stuff, which I feel is self-inflicted, but that is likely because I’ve met one of the black sheep that every community has and which allow this exact phenomenon to happen.

    But that it happens a lot, does not make it any less annoying.

      We must hang out in completely different places, it’s been years since I heard much about feminazi-type feminists
