MODERATORS
I've noticed that, after a relative lull, people are getting bullied for traditional reasons again. However the bullies code those reasons as deplorable, so that they can imply their targets are just assholes.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. Are you suggesting that telling people to be wary of history buffs (after decades of examples of "history buffs" being code for wild bigot/racist) is actually just bullying people who like history? Because if so that's a gross over exaggeration of what the post is saying. Or are you talking about the Greek mythology thing? Because the tumblr user who posted it is queer and so am I so that conclusion would also be pretty heavily flawed and wrought with heterocentric thinking.
I want to talk to you about the Greek mythology thing for a second: Are you now, or have you ever been a swan?
