Continuing the discussion from Watch: AMAZING slam poem about policing women's speech habits :
Now the dragon had a very good point. This should be a different topic. Go on, I am super curious and more open to actual criticism beyond name-callng than you might assume.

Perhaps we are just better at it. But really, was it just people complaining cause they lack wit?

imo, there were a few people explaining how their experience was the only natural one, and the people they disagreed with were misinformed and discreditable by inference. Also, vocal fry means something because tautology.

It appeared to be a lot of older white males who took deep, deep umbrage that a poet related her experience of some older white males policing her speech, and were very concerned to let us all know we must stop saying things like that.

With an opening comment like this:
Actually, this AMAZING slam βpoemβ (?) may be the single stupidest thing Iβve ever seen.
Sheβs pretending to be outraged that imaginary old white men are somehow telling her that the internet is ruining the English language. Or something. Right. Next.
it was guarantee to be an honest, thoughtful reflection on a work of poetry.

or: someone was saying vocal fry says something about character because of a set of beliefs that when analyzed at all formally yield a self-referential set of statements that equate to βbecause that is what is, becauseβ.
