"Is a social contagion" and "is caused by a social contagion" aren't semantically distinct at all To any normal person it's the exact same fucking thinghttps://twitter.com/IdiotTracker/status/1375201256017301510 …

But I guess it's those mushy-headed cancel-culture humanities majors thinking the words you use matter again Like people pointing out the word "desistance" Jesse loves to use for "not being trans anymore" started out being used for criminals and pedophiles

Surely someone who started out saying they were cis and then starts saying they're trans "desisted" from one behavior to pick up another, didn't they? Starting out a married straight dude then divorcing your wife to come out as a gay man is "desisting" from all kinds of shit

saying something can be influenced by social contagion doesnt make it some horrible disease, or even a bad thing

social contagion is literally the social science term. This is like when people dishonesty use the term "Theory" in the sciences to attack evolution

Even if you did, the mechanism of social contagion requires a contagious element. A contagion. If social contagion were spreading happiness, happiness would be a social contagion.
