Then call it a misuse of the word. My point isn't to put postmodernism on trial (again), though the text in the comic sounded awfully familiar. Was it by way of a game of telephone?
If it's just being a total fucking asshole, it's doing it in a particular way that appears favored by particular people in particular venues, at once wider than call-out culture and more specific than liberalism, and 20+ years ago it seemed to favored by students of cultural/women's/American studies. Do I misremember that?
