      It is in common use for behaviors and conditions that people believe are negative and seek to combat

      The term "social contagion" is very obviously a pejorative term in practice and has been for the vast majority of the history of its use Anyone who denies that is lying

      One suspects if people started calling Singal's "philosophies" and ideologies a social contagion, implying it is a harmful disease in the fabric of society, he'd start being a pissier, more hypocritical little toad than usual.

      I actually strongly believe that TERFism is a social contagion and I'd be happy to write a paper about it and I doubt these people would be all sanguine about it if I did

      Part of the obvious problem with trying to claim the term "social contagion" is "neutral" is that it's basically never used to describe behaviors the speaker thinks are rational/normal or beliefs the speaker thinks are correct

      So they talk about it like there's such a thing as an "absence of social contagion" when obviously there isn't The Satanic Panic being a social contagion that "surged and receded" in the 80s As opposed to being overtaken by a second, more powerful contagion

      There's one idea, "believing in Satanic ritual abuse", that clearly spread by social contagion, and a second one, "disbelieving in Satanic ritual abuse", that spread far more effectively, to the point that it's now the dominant one

      True ideas spread by "social contagion" just as well as false ideas - indeed under ideal circumstances they spread better A belief spreading by social contagion has no bearing on whether that belief is true

      People going out to get tested for breast cancer and finding out they're at risk is a result of "social contagion"

      And yet not a single person using the term "social contagion" for kids finding out they're trans responds by saying "Awesome! I'm so glad to hear it! Tell me how I can help spread this contagion as far as possible"

          If you claim that's a possible reading of Jesse's use of the term you're the one passing off an absurd lie Indeed in the article he immediately rephrases the idea of the "social contagion" theory as "kids acting out for attention"
