I think this is a fairly descriptive term. This happened fairly recently for me in another context. After I saw Star Wars Episode VIII, I let it be known that I thought it was a bad movie. In this cultural moment, some folks will take that innocent opinion from a lifelong Star Wars fan as a signifier of my stance in favor of every controversial thing that a terrible person who also disliked the movie said. It feels like everything is taken as a dog whistle.
- djsumdog 7y agoThis exact same thing happened to me at a party. There is a very odd amount of belief around SW8 in terms of equality and rights. It doesn't really make a lot of sense; and feels similar to the way people think The Babadook is somehow related to coming out of the closet.
