One last thought about "The Trouble" from wiscon
I was thinking about how the SASSholes are taking pics off the Flickr pools of perfectly unremarkable looking people just having a good time to go "hurr-hurr, FAT! Lesbian! UGLY! Hurrhurr" over, and think I've figured out what is so ugly in those pictures to them.
We're all having a good time. I can't imagine anything uglier to someone filled with hate and self loathing than normal people having the nerve to openly enjoy themselves.

Our cultural norm is a lot different and completely denies that model. Ours is that we spend a lot of time trying to achieve intersubjectivity and feel the pain other people feel so we can avoid hurting them. .
Ooh yes. This is really on point and part of the huge clusterfuckedness. Our community beliefs, standards and language are diametrically opposed and thus BOOM.
