How exactly is the reason + the dogwhistle a "good concise summation"? It's just the first one, the latter is just the same old garbage that falls apart upon any scrutiny. No one ever whines about "hamfisted" when it's something they like, no one ever decides that bad writing is something else whenever it involves non-women/minorities. It's only when it's garbage Republican BS that suddenly it goes from "bad X" to "too political", and the actual quality of the work/its overtness/etc. never comes into play. At no point is it anything more than skinhead nonsense.

This.

It's a smokescreen; a way of dressing up bigotry under the guise of legitimate criticism. The same way they'll claim that the reason they're against DEI isn't because they're racist but because they're worried about "underqualified" people getting roles they don't deserve (because somehow, pushing for more diversity inherently means lesser quality).

The alt-right is all about their buzzwords, dogwhistles and plausible deniability.
