One of the most frustrating things about this round of AI discourse focusing on purity culture is that there *is* a necessary discussion to be had about purity culture in tech and in tech-adjacent political movements.
It's just not a discussion that I think the boosters would probably like.

@danirabbitDanielle Foré I think there's a conversation to be had about how tech has adopted the language of purity culture, in no small part due to the rape culture and misogyny throughout said industry, but that's wholly distinct from the way folks have co-opted the term in the ways you point out.
Dismantling rape culture in tech would be a very good thing indeed.
