Instead, they think of allyship as servitude, and you should be grateful for the privilege. Total narcissists.This is essentially the end state of all their "arguments" that they're underlined with a threat of them saying they don't approve. On ResetERA.com with the use of force of banning.
Think about what would happen if they didn't immediately dismiss any disagreement and actually engaged with the opposition where would it lead? Like if you dismissed literally all their concerns about Harry Potter as blatantly false, which they are, what would they be left with to argue why you should not even speak about it? WELL I DISAPPROVE OF THAT
You're supposed to fear any disapproval from any source so much that the threat of someone disapproving, of being told you aren't an ally, that you won't be invited to the cool activist parties anymore, etc. is supposed to dissuade you from expressing your actual views. You should definitely fear disapproval from any member of any caste above you in the progressive stack aka hierarchy. You should especially fear disapproval from me, the self-declared avatar of the Good, at the top of the stack.
Like I said, projection.
A lot of the trans stuff is visibly this too, they see their maleness as the source of disapproval, so if they can simply make themselves not male they will be approved without having to change anything about themselves. They all have stories about feeling others don't think they're masculine enough, fearing that they're homosexual and being treated as such, etc. So, wholesome sapphic romance as far as the eye can see is the "answer" to avoid all this. It's preemptively forcing approval.
