FWIW I really disagree with Cory Doctorow on the "purity culture" thing but I'm not going to get mad about it. The man's job is having takes. He has like fifty takes a day. He is Takes Georg. The vast majority of the takes are fine, and many are actually pretty great. If I had to have that many takes that fast I would have _way_ more terrible takes. I hope he changes his mind on this one but even if not it's fine I don't have to agree with everyone on everything

@glyph I'm with you on that, yeah. His whole job is being opinionated in public, we're bound to disagree on shit.

I'm mad about it anyway because it's not just him. If it was just him, I'd roll my eyes the way in the way I might if one of my friends says something embarrassing on main, then move on with my life.

@xgranade "purity culture" is just the way that people to the left of Darth Vader say "political correctness"

@glyph Somewhere there's a political compass chart with "purity culture," "identity politics," and "political correctness" labelled like regions in the phase diagram for water.
