Source unknown, some sites assign it to Oppressive Silence comics by Ethan Vincent. But that website in the corner is shady

    The boringly misogynistic screed about how you’re stupid if you aren’t an anarcho-capitalist into polyamory that became popular among nerdy misogynists because it was ahead of the curve on 70’s swinger culture?

    Yes, I’ve read it, and I’m aware, it’s a common pairing with his quasi-fascist work in Starship Troopers.

    It spent a hundred pages pondering the concept of words in an alien language that don’t necessarily translate to English!

    Wow!

    Big think!

    Don’t let the nerdy ancap incels have it!

      Fair enough. I haven’t read it, but I knew that the term is not new and figured out where it originated. My understanding of it was a neutral term that became slang.

      I’m tired of the right-wing taking ownership of terms/icons/etc and wanted to push back.

      In the service of not bringing politics where it isn’t wanted, I’ll stop there.

      I will continue to grok things, despite Heinlein’s positions or elon’s chatbot.
