Idk, crusading against common myths is something that’s pretty hot these days. Stuff like:
Christopher Columbus didn’t actually discover America, and he was actually kind of an asshat
Bell didn’t invent the telephone, he was simply the first to patent and subsequently litigate
"Frankenstein" is the name of the scientist, not the monster
Many modern tropes about Christian Hell stem from a 17th century political satire novel
Crusading for truth in easily verifiable matters feels very on-brand for the kind of people who use Lemmy. In that light, reclaiming a negative term that’s only negative because of a false premise to describe ourselves doesn’t sound so bad. At worst, we become a little insufferable as we have to introduce the term with a “well, ackshually”, which a lot of us would probably do anyway.
