is conlanging.... fascist?

@salt no it's just very lame a lot of the time

@azureazure are you confident you're not just suffering from a general jaded malaise so typical of xenofeminists

@salt nice try cia but i'm not going to stop conlanging

@salt dont you remember that when you make an account here you gotta sign a contract saying that you have to hate fun and everything that's nice in this world

@azureazure I've never been one to follow the rules

@salt it's fascist in the same way that a lot of linguistics is fascist which is to say not implicitly but there is a lot of entrenched fascism that certain people are trying to identify and fix. but like i feel like it would be difficult to construe toki pona as fascist for example

@ikeWren i feel like there will be people in five years calling toki pona fascist though. i mean I've already heard it compared to newspeak.

@salt @ikeWren they are doing that now lmao

@salt that is the one of the dumbest things i have heard maybe ever

@salt as an enjoyer of la bona lingvo I have to say it's not but at the same time Esperanto is literally THE conlang with an authority explicitly attempting to stifle minoritarian linguistic development
