The most vivid display of Der Kommisar's five canons may be found in NPR 's coverage of arts and entertainment. It's not at all uncommon to listen to a story all the way through and learn nothing about the work except the intersectionality score of the artist. What infuriates me most as a gay man is the frequent identification of the artist or the critic as "queer". These twerps, sure in the belief that the world popped into existence when they dropped down the chute circa 1990, seem willfully ignorant of the fact the word is and always has been a vile slur, all too often the last word a gay man heard before his skull was bashed in. These folks are fortunate, perhaps, that the word has been drained of any identifiable meaning except "having once had a mildly unusual sexual fantasy", if that.
While I tire of intersectionality, I think your generalization re NPR arts coverage is overly broad. Re queer - well being in NYC and in the arts community, queers has not always been used as a slur in the manner you mention. And in the art some mention of "queer" culture is certainly meant only to describe.
Not being gay, I will see have this is sorted out.
As someone who attended art school and was often address as "McKenna, you f****t" (by my non artist acquaintances) I give up.
