ok it is outrageously funny for someone to do one of those self-righteous posts about how people who care about pro-ship vs anti-ship discourse and think it's a huge deal have completely lost all sense of perspective and should know none of it's important, like the speaker does, because they have a job and pay taxes meaning they're obviously above it all
and then, during the obligatory "listing the indignities of the life of the working-class in order to indicate that the people being criticized are too online to even know what a job entails, and probably Privileged" section, revealing that in fact OP works as. a TSA agent.
#i'm sorry but the ''i'm a beleagured retail worker and you people don't have anything important in your lives unlike me'' posturing#just doesn't work as well if the thing you're posturing about is that you are employed as an airport cop.#your job is to impose outrageously invasive surveillance and coercive power to others vastly out of proportion with the actual threat#whether or not you're right about the fanfic arguers this rhetorical move is simply not available to you.#box opener
