#Mainstreaming
Frontiers in psychiatry is having a conversion therapist guest edit an issue specifically tied to pathologizing trans youth.

This is incredibly disgusting to see a prestigious journal mainstreaming a conversion therapist and his organization like this.

Cautiously optimistic that the mainstreaming of pro-Palestine politics in the Democratic Party is coming in time to deny the Nazis an opening but man it's still rough out there

The worst part is that, a few years ago, we wouldn't be having this argument other than with common-and-garden TERFs and fash. The Democrats are mainstreaming fascist rhetoric (again)

somewhere in there is the mainstreaming of the term 'woke' which became a dart Republicans threw at Democrats...until last week when things began to change. The reawakening of 'woke.'

Funny, but also, this show had an outsized hand in mainstreaming conspiratorial thinking about everything. Sort of how the idea of "the illuminati" began as satirical book. Conspiracy gives WAY too much credit to people who are greedy, dumb and really bad at their jobs.

Millennials need to answer for our crimes (mainstreaming cutesy nicknames for sandwiches like “sammy” and “sando”)

Michel Houellebecq is not some visionary or misunderstood intellectual, he has always played a role in the mainstreaming of Islamophobia in France

Just one amongst many reactionary public intellectuals still feted in some leftwing circles

I really hate the kardashians, Paris Hilton, and Nicole Richie for mainstreaming untalented socialites. The “famous for being famous” era is kind of responsible for these “influencers”. These people have no talents whatsoever, they are just there and it’s annoying. Because who tf is India Love?

May 2025 - The same study identifies Labour's immigration spectacle, transphobic moral panic and treatment of protesters as examples of far-right politics being mainstreamed. doi.org/10.1017/rep....

May have time to develop further tmrw, but my thesis is that the U.S. has been stuck under Reaganism.

Rogue executive branch officials, who Christopher Hitchens once aptly described as the pimps of the state.

There’s a direct line from David Duke mainstreaming white nationalism to Stephen Miller.

May 2025 - Peer-reviewed research argues that nominally mainstream parties can implement and legitimise far-right politics while retaining respectable democratic branding. doi.org/10.1017/rep....

I would blame the recent shift into hyper puritan culture and the mainstreaming of the TERF movement for this over the internet. But it has always been a problem. Women are the largest minority that is raised and groomed by their oppressors as a matter of course.

The real working class is the white working class & appealing to them is more important than spreading health misinformation and conspiratorial thinking

No one think big pharma is fair & generous but we’re hving to defend it bc the alternative is mainstreaming antivaxers & anti-vitamin K shots!!!

However, what he *is* doing — which is enormously worthwhile — and no matter how unlikely to trick Trump into supporting it, is mainstreaming a discussion about Medicare for All in a manner that doesn’t treat it like pie in the sky and fringe.

That’s bloody great.

- The same Labour machine reached Downing Street as Blue Labour openly aligned itself with MAGA.
- Labour then deepened Palantir's role in the state while adopting the immigration, anti-rights and anti-pluralist politics that independent researchers identify as far-right mainstreaming.

I can see that, but personally I think this argument being made now, at the same time as the mainstreaming of "English people can only be white", means that it can only be hijacked by these ethnonationalists, and its simplification of a messy, beautiful history scares me a bit as a result

In Zero Charisma’s eyes, the mainstreaming of D&D, Star Trek, comic books, etc, opening up to women and POC (who, of course, were always there to begin with) and normies?

It’s a tragedy. It’s appropriation. It’s barging into the nerd’s basement uninvited.

I see they also still haven't improved on those rights either in the last few years. lol

I occasionally wonder if The X-Files did some social damage by mainstreaming the whole “It’s a sinister elite conspiracy” shtick. But maybe it was a symptom more than a contributor.

A cultural trend that is really underappreciated by a lot of establishment media is the mainstreaming of Korean Dramas and TV Shows in the West thanks to them becoming a big part the libraries of streaming services

#militarism is an essential part of the #farRight, right-wing #populism. It is present even when we think it is not. Read about about the reactionary use of war as a conceptual metaphor in our article published on @doingips.bsky.social @reacpolrn.bsky.social

I have multiple degrees in words and "words change meaning all the time" is not a good way to react to people unhappy with the mainstreaming an antisemitic slur coined by neo-Nazis. Likewise, "People don't know the origin so it's not a slur to them" like we covered 'intent versus impact' in Woke 1.
