It’s not a strawman—just do the math on what % of humanity is one or more of {racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, …}, bearing in mind that failing to toe the progressive party line on even one category makes you a “bigot.”

I'm mostly thinking about someone asking people to "ban the box" except re: association with fashy shit and then reading the paper about how this increased the usage of other (more inaccurate) metrics to discriminate against negatively valued characteristics in people.

as a fan of box, which box is being banned here

See, I know eigen's read papers about how when asking people straight up if they've done criminal shit was prohibited, discrimination against employment-irrelevant characteristics like apparent race increased. Bad confluence of a carceral state and people seeking maximum value.

My hypothesis is basically the same: If discrimination against overt association with fascism is prohibited, this may not turn out well for people who want cishet white men to be left alone. Sucks that some Hetalia cosplayers get egged but preferable versus the other worlds.
