I've been saying for years that the advertiser-friendly neo-puritanicalism that was infecting the left was a trojan horse for conservatism, and then here we are.
-
How was it infecting the left?
-
Insistence on decorum, general anti-sex sentiments, curtailing of language to adhere to advertiser-friendly standards, to name a few.
-
I think all of that is true when it comes to mainstream public events, but bath houses are still a thing and queer people are still having a lot of sex. Playing to your audience is just strategic.
-
I don't really understand what you're trying to say, if I'm being honest.
I will say though that having sex and being pro-sex are two extremely different things, and the existence of one does not in any way imply the existence of the other.

Advertisers didn’t change queer people, queer people changed advertisers.

How can someone have lots of sex without being pro-sex? You’re incorrectly conflating the idea of doing sexual things in general and the idea of doing sexual things in public; most Pride events are less overtly sexual now than they were in the past, but that’s not a reduction to the original goals of Pride.

You're not immune to marketing and conditioning. It's not a one-way street, it's two-way.

I dunno, maybe ask the Catholic Church, or the Mormon Church, or any other famously anti-sex organization that promotes heavy breeding but still uses harmful shame tied to sex as a a means of control?

No, I'm not. You're conflating being pro-sex with being sexually active.

Bath houses are terrorism and queer people are illegal now in us.

C'mon, you don't have to look very hard to find puritanical, anti-sex 'leftists'
-
kink@pride discourse was the first time I saw that.

Yes advertisers like chase and Walmart and visa are truly the most left you can be.
-
I'm not calling those who craft and insist on this kind of language left, I am calling the people who accept and use it supposedly part of the left (in vague terms).
You are making my point. My point is that conservativism is charlatans and we becomes their stooges when we play according to their terms, including on the field of language.
-
I definitely don't know what your point is, still. Genuinely no offense, but English is clearly not your first language and I don't understand what you're trying to say.
