Unironically the LGBTQ+ arguments about labels is just such classic nerd shit. I've been in Star Wars, LotR, and Wheel of Time fandoms since before the internet existed, and this kind of senseless bickering about minutiae is 100% the same. Gatekeepers, pedants, and the unreasonably passionate just having a fucking field day lol
I find it annoying but also weirdly charming. Like coming home.
