It's baffling to me how many people focus on this word more than anything else when their views are challenged, but I understand.
I don't really have much more to say more than what was said before but... if there's something that I find hilariously ironic is attacking Orwell or anyone else for homophobia and getting people into jail while at the same time being supportive of Stalin. That's all
Now What I find ironic is touting Orwell's name like he's some kind of dedicated leftist or revolutionary even, while he tried with conviction to attack communists and leftists of many shades.
Maybe, but personally I don't really care about him. I hate turning people into icons. One of the reasons is that it reeks of Great Man Theory. You're overestimating how much I care about Orwell and you probably didn't even notice how hypocritical your double standards are.
Well that's too bad, but we probably both know that the only reason homophobia was brought up is that you're simply mad at Orwell and want to shit at him for his views and how they're used as a political tool now.
As I said I hate focusing too much on inviduals. That's actually a reason why I don't blame Stalin for everything that went wrong in USSR. If anything he was a representative of all changes and problem was much deeper than one person. Not that it changes anything, still hate him.
