I don't like the term horseshoe theory because [extremely long list of reasons] but there's gotta be some term out there to describe how like. you can go from a conservative upbringing where people are weird and/or outright racist about interracial relationships, and then you wind up in some stupid pocket of leftism where people look at a mixed race couple and are like "hm :/ but is he um. fetishizing your race?" and sure it's done in a way that is, yes, tangibly different than outright conservatism, but it still leads to the same isolating effect of "alright we're being judged for our relationship, and these people kind of suck"
by the way, I don't know if this has been said over here but some hermitcraft fans on reddit are pushing to nominate tango and decked out for the streamer awards! it's a crowded competition but DO2 was such a huge accomplishment and it would be awesome to see that extra acknowledgement.
you can submit below- you just need to log in using a google account, and you don't need to write an answer for any categories you don't have a stake in. most people are nominating tangotek for best minecraft streamer and decked out 2 as best event!
